Morning at the Docks
Fun photobash exercise trying to capture a Blade Runner-esque atmosphere. Used just a tiny bit of 3D to spice things up and to match perspective where the photos couldn't.

Aztec Temple: Alternate View
I built this environment for the Lightbox Expo, Box of Mystery challenge. I thought it would be a shame to not make a frame from alternate view. Changed the composition from the original submission with a few elements in Photoshop.

Temple: Lightbox Expo Environment Design final submission (Environment 1)
Took my sweet time on this one. Built a whole modular temple, sculpted and rigged two high detail characters as well. Probably should have spent much less time on it though. In this environment, I wanted to explore the concept of the mysteries behind the Aztecs. Where did they get the knowledge to build such sophisticated cities and massive pyramids? Was there another reason they loved human sacrifice? Regardless of what their secrets were, they would need to hide them somewhere and keep them guarded past their lifetimes. I thought the idea of having temple/tomb guardians like the terracotta army would be a neat visual. I tried to make the box of mystery more a part of the actual environment in this project.

Eclipse: Lightbox Expo Environment Design final submission (Environment 2)
Had to get this one done super fast! I wanted to explore a narrative that dealt with some sort of ceremony in response to, or effecting a solar eclipse that centered around a mysterious box. I tried to make it so the box was in an environment, rather than a integral part of it.
