Environment Design is hard




Environment Design is like pulling teeth for me. After 4 hours of noodling around with just one concept, this is what I came up with. Still not satisfied. It's problematic and I'm not even working with color yet.





I added a foreground element that it badly needed. Better, but till not satisfied. This still looks like lazy work to me. But perhaps it is because I'm comparing my stuff with great artists who do nothing other than paint.

At some point, I have to stop and call it finished. Does the image serve it's purpose? Yes. It tells the story. The story "reads" instantly. I understand what's going on. Do the rocks and mountains and clouds look great? Is it a masterpiece? Not really. Detaching and moving on...
