The Concept Phase

I haven't posted something related to my work so far. Here are some early mood boards I have done before the beginning of the new year. Here are some paper representations and also different concepts of the dimensions of the circus and the contributing pieces.





As you may already know, my main objective is to reconstruct the Circus Maximus entirely and to make it a game ready asset. I included some of my reference regarding the architectural style used by Romans and some close ups on very important parts of the circus such as the pillars, arches and various details which will help me to get the representation as accurate as possible. Here are some examples.



Here are some placeholder textures I work with to get me a sense of how it should be looking when finished. I only have 2 for now, but I am planning to have a sheet of border and trim textures.


I will update some work in progress images on the further posts so you can see some proper 3D concepts and early block outs.
