Environment design

Environment design isn't something I am particulatly confident about doing, but it something I'm willing to try my hand with. 

Going around Manchester taking pictures of various perspectives and points of interest made things easier once I found a good shot of Salford Central station:. 

Then there was coming up with a decent aesthetic. This wasn't too difficult, as I really wanted to try Viktor Antonov's design points. Using a picture of the Combine APC, I had a colour palette and geometric shape reference to work with.  

After attempting several pylon styles, I made and duplicated a good looking one along the track lines, along with other structures that conform to the Fibonacci spiral..

After repeated experiments the base colours were added along with a sky colour to contrast it. 

After lots of painting in of the other details with the right kind of shading lights on a monolithic building in the background and some rain,  I managed to finish hwat turned out to be a really atmospheric landscape!
