Final Refinements and Props Design Breakdowns

Did some refinements with the temple gate where I photobashed mountain textures onto the walls. Still had no idea whether i like the fog or no fog more.

I also refined the worship hall according to feedback.

I broke down the props and details for the environments.

After feedback I reduced the details and textures for the walls and in the end, I decided that fog looks better.

Main Temple Final Refinements

I did the main temple very last minute because I didn't have enough time and initially didn't plan on finishing it, thank god it turned out how I wanted it to look.

FEEDBACK

Week  11 (15/6/2023)

Temple gate- looks better, for the mountain walls need more breaking and overlapping.

Main temple- For the trees look into leopard tree, take flower brush or slap on flowers, don't go into too much details and draw the patterns one by one.

Week  14 (15/6/2023)

Temple Gate- Texture is overlapping reducing opacity and mask off certain areas , textures should be like the floor, depth is slightly missing stilll, add shadows,have some lights shimmers here and there , some part might be quite flat add the details, fins calm shimmer on lakes use the texture and photo bash it.

Worship Hall- Add lighting, mix contrast colours some green some orange

REFLECTION

Creating an environment design posed a significant challenge for me, primarily due to the complexities of perspective and the fact that it was my first attempt at drawing such a scene. Well, I wouldn't technically label it as my absolute first, as I recall making numerous unrefined sketches back in primary school. Initially, I lacked a clear understanding of how to approach it, but with persistence, multiple iterations, and valuable feedback, I managed to overcome the obstacles and ultimately improve in my skills.
