Urban Fantasy - Environment Concepts

Arcana Emporium

My first mood piece showing the Shop front in the street (based in Camden) . I skipped the initial sketching of thumbnails for this as I already had the block out made and knew it was going to be set in a Camden street, I found altering the Camera in Blender was a much more effective and quick way to generate thumbnail ideas.

3D block outs (created In Blender) this is the concept for the magic shops building design . I had a lot of fun building this up and took a lot of inspiration from antique book stores, also referring back to Camden market as this is where it is set. I will be producing mood pieces for this to get a feel for the street and store as a whole.

Internal Paintings of the shop, heavy focus on the novels descriptions and inclusion of pre-concepted. items from the prop sheet made.

Blockout done using Blender for the shops internals, I used an exaggerated focal length to help the space feel larger.

Callout of the shop/ I-symmetric View

Prop sheet of magical items. Some of these have a basic block-out base others are fully painted. I've opted not to include the process of creating these as it doesn't really add anything to my final product. Some of these items are mentioned in the book specifically, whilst others are my own interpretation of a rough description.

Fountain Reach

This Project is another environment described in the same book series as the Arcana Emporium. It's a manor house which hosts a magic competition, set in the Cotswolds.
