[STAGE] Samurai Shodown - Ghost Town - batch & jaysmith

batch

First competition, we're both just looking for lots of advice and experience.

Stage is Ghost Town.
We're going to redesign it as an old mining ghost town or something along those lines.
Research to come

batch

Reference from old/abandoned mining towns.

jaysmith

only a few images, just a few of my favorites and most inspirational,

we looked a many themes for the ghost town and finally decided on the old American mining town,
simply because we saw the oriental theme quite over used.

anyway comments and crits are greatly appreciated

Very good choice!
Sukiyaki Western: Django
This film could be also a good inspiration for you!

Did a bit of a concept, went off the original layout and colour scheme from SamuraiShowdown but with our western/mining theme. I'm not much of a painter/concept artist as you can see, but it gives a rough idea of a possible direction.



The buildings would be looking pretty derelict, maybe some structures have collapsed. More rusty metal things like that on the left dotted about too, maybe an old car or something similar to the one in our research.

Blocked in a similar scene to help visualisation and composition, its a lot clearer than my smudgy painting too. Needs more buildings in the row going towards the building in the centre too, I just got lazy.





Not got much experience with environments so advice would be appreciated!

just another block in to add, as batch said about his, alot more needs adding to this one as well.
just the basic structures.
thats a fallen water tower incase you were wondering aha, and also i think i need to add another structure to the right hand side just to help close it in a little, also shorten the foreground a little.
