Design process(make model)

  PROCESS This week, I focused on shaping the details of the tomb chamber part. First of all, I added some lamp posts around the coffin. I placed lanterns at fixed intervals, and the primary purpose was to guide the players' line of sight. However, the arrangement of the lamp posts was also investigated. I combined the arrangement of the lamp posts with the 28 constellations: This idea came from watching the TV series "The Lost Tomb:" I thought of "The Lost Cave of Longling". It is also an excellent TV drama with the theme of tomb raiding. (Because I have always been very interested in Chinese history and metaphysics, apart from "The Lost Tomb", I also like to watch other TV dramas and books of this kind in my daily life.) In this drama, the protagonist, after descending from the tomb, enters a dead end. It is by reasoning about the laws of the 28 constellations that he finds the gateway to life and escapes. I thought that I myself wanted to use the me...

  PROCESS This week, I started modeling the interior of the Queen Mother of the West Palace. At that time, when I was drawing the concept drawing, I only focused on the position of the Queen Mother of the West's throne. I thought the research was not clear enough, and the passage before entering the main tomb chamber was not added either. So before starting the modeling, I watched the depiction of the entire tomb passage in the TV drama again and sorted out the entire relationship. 这周我开始进行西王母宫殿内部的建模,当时画概念画只关注了西王母王座的位置,我认为调研的不够明确,而且进入主墓室之前的通道也没有加上,所以在开始建模之前,我又去看了一遍影视剧对整个墓道的刻画,并梳理了整个关系。 I'll describe it again in words. I've sorted out all the processes of this entire area, from the very beginning of the Devil's City, which is the desert, to entering the water pool area after passing through the sunken ship. Based on the murals on the ruins beside the water pool area as a clue, the main characters fell underwater, passed through the underground passage, found a hole, jumpe...

  PROCESS This week, I was still modifying the model of the entrance of the Queen Mother of the West's palace. First, I added some details to make the entire picture look more messy and dilapidated: I always feel that there is something wrong with the shaping of this environment. It seems that everything is too obvious, lacking a sense of depth and space. So I added some fog effects and changed the atmospheric environment: During the process of adjusting the environment, I also continued to add some details such as fallen leaves and branches. When adjusting the color, I considered following the tone of the 2D concept painting, but ultimately I still believed that it was necessary to pay more attention to rationality and not be too disconnected from the previous scene. So I kept adjusting. Finally, after a long process of color adjustment, the presented picture was like this:
