Process and Production
Creating Backgrounds and Concepts
In order to create the right perspectives for backgrounds, I created a scene in Maya using the simple polygon shapes and then rendered the image to assist with backgrounds.
I visited both Sandal Castle and Pontefract Castle in order to gather reference imagery for potential castles and landscapes, when designing the castle. I additionally looked at the book, Digital Painting Techniques, Volume 1, by 3Dtotal.com, which explores how to create your own custom brushes in Photoshop and explores values. I implemented this within designing my backgrounds.
I made minor adjustments when the painting was complete, such as moving the horizon up slightly, to create more visual interest and adjusting some of the colours, using Image > Adjustments > Curves.
