Art Station Inspiration for Environment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On https:\/\/www.artstation.com\/?sort_by=community&dimension=all<\/a> I began looking at underwater art to help inspire me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The one environment which stands out to me is the one designed like a room with a door and mirrors. This is environment concept art created by Marcin Rubinkowski. This reminds me of the Fran Bow <\/em>gameplay where you go from room to room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My original idea before looking at this was to have a goal being the player to reach the surface of water manually however I really like the idea of having rooms instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rooms could start off darker surrounded by sea life that only live at that depth to give a subtle hint of how deep in the water you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I went to Egypt I went snorkelling in the Red Sea a few times and took some photo\u2019s underwater of coral reef\u2019s and the sea life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I thought some of these pictures could be helpful for me with what colour palettes to use as well as certain textures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These pictures could help me with later stages of the games as the colour pallet becomes more vibrant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to begin the process of creating environment concepts I had to make a list of objects I wanted to include and why. I did not use all of these ideas for room one but they could be used as the colour palette brightens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For each room concept, before I started drawing I had to know what objects would be in each room for the puzzles so I made mind maps of my ideas for each room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Initial ideas for room one:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Layout experiments:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On paper I experimented with the layout of some objects before drawing it digitally. I prefer the first layout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Result<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Room one- Denial<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tools used: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Procreate pencil<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Watercolour paintbrush<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Luminanse brushes- Light brush for glows and flare for light reflections on objects<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Using the list of objects I wanted to include I began drawing my environment in Procreate. In procreate I used the little pine<\/em> brush under drawing<\/em> to outline everything. To give it a watercolour look like Child Light<\/em> I used the watercolour<\/em> brush under painting<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    After everything was complete I have the 3 objects needed for the puzzle a subtle glow using the light brush <\/em>under luminescence<\/em>. As for the interactive objects I gave them a slight shine using Flare<\/em>, also under luminescence<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The reaon I added these details is so the player can differientate interactive between interactive objects and objects with no purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Broken clock inspiration:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    On google I looked for inspiration for the broken clock on the wall. The one which stood out to me the most was the bottom right one. I liked how it wasn\u2019t damaged to complete destruction and I like how the wall around it was more damaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For my mirrors I tried to go for something similar to the right, however to have more of a dark colour pallet I made them silver rather than gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Chair inspiration:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"

    So the player can reach up to grab the mirror shard a chair has to be used to reach the table. Out of all these chairs I preferred the one in the middle as it went with the table the most<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Three items inspiration:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For one of the retrievable items I chose to have an envelope. This is an important letter her mum had written to her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    On the left is my inspiration pictures for the envelope. I went for a basic drawing like in the top left corner and added some tape to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For the second item I chose to have a photo frame which would later be needed in the next room. At first I wanted to go for an antique look to match the mirrors however I went for a simple wooden frame as I didn’t want a small item like this to be too detailed. I then added cracked glass on top of the frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For the third item I wanted to include something to make the game more personal to me. These are pictures of my childhood teddy which I used as inspiration for the teddy item in this game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    I changed the colour to a dark brown to match the colour pallet more but kept the shape the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
