Week 8 - Bringing it all together// Pt 2: Environment

I started off by doing some paintovers on images of Venice to get a feel for the scale and type of view I want for the big "Cthulhu invades" kind of scene.

I'm following the prospect of 'Cthulhu' awakening and besieging Venice. OR this being a 'mirage' or dream (as described in the short story). I want the real sense of terror to shine in these images but I also want to stay true to my thematic setting of 14th century Venice.

Out of these initial sketches I picked 3 that I wanted to develop further before deciding upon a final.



I then did a mashup of the certain elements that I liked.




I started slowly developing this:




This is the furthest I got. Wish I had more time to dedicate to this project.








BONUS:

Cleaned and tightened the sketch somewhat from last week. I feel like I still have a lot to work on in regards to this and will continue to do so in the coming week along with my above illustration.
