Hello y'all! I've just finished up my environment 'Skyview Overlook'. This environment is an exploration of a location set within the world of my personal long term project, with music written to match!

This environment was completed as part of an independent study in stylized environment art at Carnegie Mellon University. Tom Corbett very wisely advised me weekly during this project on environment design, blockout, lighting, and more! I started from concepting 10 environments and chose 2 from there that I could build utilizing one versatile environment kit.
As I built the kit and blocked out the environment, I ended up adjusting my concept to scope for two projects and still experiment a lot with painterly brushstroke cards, particle effects, and larger objects that I hadn't modelled before!

This project was so incredibly fun, I'm so glad I got to revisit this setting. It was originally featured in a platformer I made a few years back, so it's exciting to see how much progress I've made in only two short years!

Cheers all!
