Environment Update

Here's where I got to with the first of the two environment thumbnails I liked. You can already see how the piece has changed a bit, though I'm not sure I'll manage to leave it alone as it is. The main difference is that I decided to fracture that large central island into several parts. Was it a good idea? I often have a tendency to want to add more detail into the simpler or flat graphic areas. These areas are important to a picture having variety and reading clearly, so it's important to have them though. So tell me your thoughts...


Working Process

There's often a greater sense of energy and gesture in exploratory sketches that can be really hard to carry through to a finished image. It's something I struggle with, not tightening my images up so much that I strangle them.

A few friends have asked me in the past if I would be willing to put up more process shots or sketches, so here are some thumbnails and colour roughs for an environment piece I've been wanting to do. Hopefully the finished piece will follow soon after :)

Let me know in the comments if you have a favourite composition too. I already have two favourites that I just can't choose between...
