Star Wars Jedi Survivor - Basalt Forest Blockin

(Early Art Blockin / design work!)

Posting some of my work that represents the first initial years I spent on Jedi Survivor. Was put in charge of working with Design and Concept to establish the look and feel for the Basalt Koboh Forest on the planet Koboh. Our goal was to capture something slightly alien yet familiar, pushed the idea that tree's were more scarce due to the tall basalt formations that resulted in Tree Like growths -- taking the place of tree-trunks.

I like to do quick blockins of the spaces before placing any art, to capture the mood, composition and feel of this space. I think that is the most important part in Environmental Art, is establishing the initial play feel and working with design EARLY to capture any pitfalls that might come from placing art.

Please excuse any inconsistencies or issues with the images, these were in process screenshots not generally meant to be shared!
