Eternal Strands - City & Architecture
A general view of Dynevron - the capital city. 3D base in Blender for some of the buildings.
As always in concept art for locations that are built around gameplay and navigation, this remains inspirational and will evolve with the level design needs.

An early exploration of the city with its surrounding walls. The style was closer to medieval at the time.

Developing the city and its architecture was both exciting and challenging. You'll find with this post some of the images that led to the final vision. Although many concept arts and paint-overs were necessary to bring the city to life, it was only possible through collective work thanks to art director Sebastien Primeau, budy concept artist Alex Turcotte Gervais and the 3d team who played a huge part in the constant evolution of the visuals that led to the final version of the city in the game.
Hope you enjoy !
