(0.3) Castle Refined

Image
The critiques I received mentioned filling out the courtyard much more and essentially decorating the castle with foliage and railings. I also added terrain to the background to better make the scene feel like an actual place. It was also suggested to me to add swords or remnants of the knights that would have resided there. I was told my concept had the feel of a video game, and I think really leaning into that with the stylized trees and weaponry helped to solidify that feel. I didn't have too many issues with lighting apart from having a hard time deciding which light color to use and what sun height would best suit the vibe of the scene.

(0.2) Castle Concept

 My plan was for a video game or fantasy-adventure style castle. I plan on adding more to the courtyard and foliage around the castle.

(0.1) Voxel Model

The idea behind my model was to create a bunch of grapes. Over the summer I started gardening, and I have a large grapevine in my backyard that my dad and I use to feed the birds in the area. I played around a bit with hue variation and reflectivity of the materials.
