Bitter Springs Concept Art

This is just going to be a short post - something I've been meaning to put up for awhile now. I did this pencil sketch of a town I created for a game called Bitter Springs. It's a town built on the side of a mountain. I like the sketch quite a bit...it's a little different than I'm used to working, but I hope to get better at it.

Bitter Springs b/w

The town is in a fair state of disrepair, obviously...I think that comes across fairly well. I like the clock tower too... I don't know why, but lately I've just been really enamored with the idea of them. I wish they were more culturally relevant today...

I suppose they'd be more useful if we didn't all have clocks everywhere we went.

Color Treatment.

I'm not gonna lie here. I stumbled pretty bad on the color pass. I was trying a new thing...sort of attempting to mimic water color and I failed pretty spectacularly. It gets the overall mood across, I suppose...in some areas. I don't know. I'll really need to spend some more time messing with the look in the future. Or begin painting with actual paints again.





In the end, I don't hate this piece. It's not one of my strongest in some areas, but in other ways, I think it's quite good. If I could just keep the pencil sketch and have that be useful, I'd be quite happy.
