Another portfolio piece I finished recently, part of the mmo series I am working on.

Canyon City: Environment concept for a fantasy mmo

Finally finished my new portfolio piece :)

Canyon City wip

Here is a portfolio piece I am currently working on. Its part of the mmo series of concept art I did for my last university project. My goal with this concept was to have a large scene establishing shot of a canyon based city with a consistent use of architecture throughout. The architecture is primarily based of Indian/Hindu style architecture.

There's more progress shots in my CA thread : http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=130388&page=7 Which is down atm due to their maintenance.

With my current version I decided everything was getting too cramped so I opened the composition, and also the back ground was a bit dull, the composition was leading up to it but with nothing as a pay off so I had the idea there was some kind of settlement there. With more mountains suggested in the background to add depth.

Going to work the middle ground and the small details from this point. The figures I just quickly indicated, Ill leave them until last they are just a reference point for scale for now. P.s you can see my perspective lines in this one as I forgot to turn them off when saving.
