Environment Concepts | THE IRIDESCENT WEST

✧ The Iridescent West | Personal Project

This is an explorational series of concepts, with the aim of combining two themes that I really enjoy! I drew inspiration from both fantasy and western aesthetics, drawing on different areas of both to create a unique feel within the landscape developed.

Often, Western aesthetics are portrayed as dark and gritty - but with this in mind, I wanted to create a different feel, using the fantasy design elements, such as vibrant colors, and unnatural landscape features. Within this, I really wanted to push color exploration, and how color and accents cam be used to manipulate the feel and moods within a landscape.
