The Fort Of Festermire - November 2024
As part of my first university project, I was tasked with creating concept art for an RPG environment, mixing the visual prompts given to me.
I came up with the Fort Of Festermire, a small civilization comprised of survivors of the mire who have come together to create a sustainable place to live among the expansive drylands of Festermire.
To create the environment design sheet, I was asked to create thumbnails, blueprints and sketchbashes, the best of which can be seen in the Art Of document below, titled "Stranger In A Strange Land". On top of coming up with the story and an environment design sheet, I had to do visual research, concept artist research,.
You can find my research process on my university blog under the Designing A Game World label:

Timelapse Video
As part of this project we were required to record the final development of our environment sheet, from after the 3D blockouts until the end where it could all be compiled. My video is quite long despite being heavily sped up, but I have added chapters so you can navigate it to look at whichever piece of art you would like.

World Building Creative Writing
On top of all of the artwork we were given a creative writing task to go along with it. We were asked to create a history and build up the world our environment exists in. Considering things like the biome, weather conditions, traditions of the people, why the environment exists, how does it function and many other things you can read about above.
