Concept Art - Early Development

 

Here is my first ideas when it came to design. I mapped out key parts to the model like the tower, like the bridge and the environment. I was able to also see at what perspective I want to do my final render and the style of lighting, for lighting the scene I will use and ambient lighting for the sunset and directional lighting for the light house, I have included this in my concept art. From this I was then able to add parts that are significant to a lighthouse and the culture. For example I am using smaller windows as that is a feature to a lighthouse. For oriental I am using the style of architecture like the roofing and adding objects that are normally considered part of the theme like the Chinese lanterns.

 

 

I then scanned in my concept art and added colour from my palette by using Photoshop. I felt this really helped define the oriental culture and made it clear or the theme. I feel this also helped create the peaceful atmosphere I want and will synergize well with the lighting.
