Trucking along squarely this past week, I'm nearly finished with this area minus some fine details. While my preplan guided the layout and basic architectural forms, much of the design is left to the imagination. Furthermore, I've thoroughly enjoying coming up with colors, motifs, and textures to adorn the structures with. There has also been a lot of fun challenges shading and lighting the various geometric forms. Took me a few attempts to render that silo.
Tried out a little night time concept with adjustment layers and masks in Photoshop. Not sure if the game will have a day/night cycle, but I definitely like the night time mood.
Suppose I will start making NPCs soon. Need to come up an animal to put in the stables. Chickens, goats, fantasy creatures?
