A couple of explorations for the mood of one of the scenes for the new trailer that's currently in production. This scene takes place in a cold morning with Guts sleeping next to a fire, in this part we're trying to depict the feeling for the quiet moments of Berserk.
This landscape is already being painted into a proper BG by a great artist from the industry, the goal is to try and achieve studio quality for the art direction and animation.
