Background Design and Concepts

Final background designs of street buildings

 

 

 

Phoebe Herring has also been doing some concept art for us (below)

 

 

Next Phoebe created a rough model of the street, working closely from my background outlines.

 

 

"I aimed to keep the blocky exaggerated feel and to match the lighting in the visual references for the project, which is set in 1940s New York. I'm pleased with this model, and I think that it will help me to avoid mistakes that I made in the painting. Also, experimentation with lighting was much easier when I worked from it." - Phoebe

 

Below is the model with added texture.
