Initially there was going to be another set, a full dam controlled by the king. In the end it kind of got morphed into extensive gardens
Very early research sketches done to understand the shape language and tone I wanted to go for
Initial research, story background, and work plan! Only got to two of these levels but hopefully will attack the Dam at some point in the future,
I wanted to focus on a Worldbuilding project and try designing a new culture from the sketch phase all the way to a blocked-out set and finished paintings. Special shoutout to Cristian Alberto Vasquez, Thomas Stoop and James T. Robb for great feedback along the way. This is the first set of images I did for Eytan Zana's Mentorship.
