Oh man! No idea how I missed that one! Anyway I’m gonna read it twice now. Thanks!
Edit: Awesome! I’m bit late but will try to catch up if possible. I will take a break tomorrow and focus on analysis. Cheers!

Cheers man! Now the harder part is to use in your own stuff hehehe.
EDIT: Small update. I’m bogged down by client work atm, but should resume regular sketching soon.

Small update. 50% there. On the crossroads about story.
I guess it’s time for quick photo bash and sketches.

Loving this, what render package are you using?
What software are you using and how are you creating the texture files?

Hey Ryan! Thanks for your love!
It’s actually Cycles render inside Blender.
As for the textures, well I mash staff together but that explanation is not actually helpful.
I will try to capture some nodes for you if you wish but in general I do use good quality textures, preferably tillable but since it’s a concept and not production piece, you can pay less attention to that.
Decent normal map and roughness will take it a long way. Some surface imperfections, masks etc. HDRi for lighting is a must I think. So nothing special really.
These days you can get free resources that will suffice for most concept work.

Forgive me if you already know this all already.
Cheers!

Nice work here Artur. I’ll be definitely following your progress and I’m looking forward to seeing which 3D comps you push further.

Yeah, but still long way ahead.
Figuring out shapes for shacks. I definetely need more variety of proportions and size:
Also blocking out POI in 3D:
Cheers!
EDIT:
forgot to add this one. Added a makeshift boat with a ferryman. Perhaps this will be player’s entry point to this location.
Just have to add another character on the boat.
