I feel that the combinations of reds and blues work best in these environments. As such these colour compositions were created using mostly those tones but with some exceptions.

Exterior, Low Exterior and Interior Shots (Greyscale)

 

 

These are almost the final images for the exterior, low exterior and interior shot.  I will use these images to create colour composition thumbnail pages. Once I have determined which colour schemes work best for them I will refine them into more polished images.

Any and all feedback is appreciated on these!

A quick Page of Interior Ideas

I found that number 5 was particularly strong and is probably what I will take forward for my final interior shot.

Argia Exterior Progress

Working with the ideas of the city as a kind of rocky hive with the main building being this shape. Possible exterior shot idea could be seeing the hive from above where it is a pattern covering the cavern floor. While lower down in the city for the low angle exterior shot it could be something similar to the image directly above.

A quick enviroment experimentation for Argia

This took me about 15 minutes to complete. It was for testing light gradients and how the rock may look around the city. I'm not 100% happy with it as it is very rough and the textures don't look quite right in many places. Luckily though it was only a very quick sketch.

After doing these I am going to focus on how the buildings in Argia will look. I have done some possible designs of that here already but I think that the focus needs to be there.

Argia Influence Maps

Argia Exterior Influence Map

Argia Interior Influence Map

After looking through my thumbnails I have decided that Argia is my chosen city to take forward. I feel that my strongest thumbnails and most interesting ideas came from that city's description.

Phyllis Thumbnails

With these set of thumbnails for Phyllis I decided to push myself a bit further in terms of perspective and creating the illusion of space.

Thumbnails 122-148

Some of my personal here are;
Fedora 4 and 5
Isaura 2
Leonia 2 and 9

Esmeralda Thumbnails 1-5

With these thumbnails I decided to make less images but use more time on each image to try to get some depth of field. Pretty happy with the turnout of them and my personal favourite is image 3.

As of this post my thumbnail total is 121.

Sketchbook Pages 1-6

 Some of my rock based landscape drawings

 

 

Here are my sketchbook drawings so far. I have done some for the invisible cities which have the names listed at the top of the page. For some of these images I needed to add more contrast so that the lines were more visible. This has reduced the quality somewhat and in future I will make sure to either draw thicker lines or work in ink pen.

Baucis Thumbnails

I enjoyed drawing for this particular text. The idea of a city suspended above the world really got ideas flowing, as such I hope to come back to this city and explore it in more detail later.
Particular favorites of mine so far are 3, 6 and 8.

More thumbnails!

Here are some more thumbnails that I have completed. There are no numbers on these which I will fix for the next thumbnails I do.
Simply read these as;
1   2   3
4   5   6
7   8   9
for each page.

Some test images using the new thumbnail format I am trying out (above)

 

After some success with this format I am going to use this again for further thumbnails.
