Highlands forest

Another environment design for Jabberwocky. This was supposed to be a discovery point in the game for the characters, where the characters learned the true nature of the past and their relationship to the world. So I wanted a slightly more light, open, and natural cathedral feeling. I went to the Redwoods in northern CA to research what the area could look like.

The final version, though I think I like the whiter trunks of the previous version.

This was the first color pass, but I felt like it didn't have enough sense of weight or history.

The first sketch I drew after visiting the redwoods in northern California, ended up being the seed for the rest of the image (and I like some things better about this sketch).
