Forest Concept

This took about half an hour to do, a quick sketch of the forest through which the expedition in the Lost World walks through. I will do more refined illustrations later, mainly playing around with the colours, as it is described as possessing colourful lychen and plants, as well as having a mysterious aura to it. Lots of potential there.

No work in progress as it isn't of real interest for this image, it was done too quickly

Environment Concept

Having found out that my topic will be the Lost World by Conan Doyle, I decided to start some quick concept pieces to set a mood and to try and find the artistic direction for this project. Having had some time management issues last project, and not following the brief in some cases, I am now determined to stay focused and to work efficiently.

So here is the first, a two hour session. Though it could get some more refinment I am trying to stay vague as this is more to find the right tones and colours on which to work.

Different stages:

I tries to include colour earlier than I usually do, and this considerably accelerated the whole process. I felt later on during the drawing process that their was a slight ancient Egyptian influence to the piece, mainly due to the bird on the top left which reminded me of the birds found near the Nile River. I added the two pyramids to keep the theme and to try and feel space through composition. I hope it has the desired effect.
