Environmentdesign for Sorcery
Ankh-Morpork is the largest capital city in the disc world (created by Terry Pratchett). It is described as city that never sleeps, devided by a huge river: the Ankh. For centuries houses have been built on top of houses until the lower level of houses sank into the ground. It has been said that Ankh-Morpork's primary exports are smog and modern power politics.
In my thumbnails I tried to capture that feeling of a city that never sleeps. Always buisy, always something to see here. The look of the houses has some parallels to asian buildings (for example the roofs and doors). Rounded shapes are in contrast to edges and bridges. People try to sell something everywhere, which depicts itself by market stalls and shops. Temples represent the many different types of gods, offering the citizens places to preach and pray.
I started rather loose and defined shapes and forms in the process of drawing. After my first loose sketches I drew a second layer on top. These thumbnails are just for a first impression of the possible settings and can be drawn up during the project's progress.
