perspectives

4 types of perspective

1 point perspective is a when things get smaller the further they are away , converging towards a single point.

2 point perspective is when you are looking at a corner with two parallel moving away.

3 point perspective is when all line of the image are recede towards one of three vanishing points.

aerial perspective is technique of representing more distant objects as fainter and less detailed

this is a building with a brute architecture which uses 2 view points , to find them you use the lien tool(u) and drag it along the edges of the building.

environments

this is concept art for doom (2016) , I like the idea of going inside the ruins of the titan. I also like the ribs coming out of the ground.

this is from god of war 4. I like the giant in the background which is thamur’s corpse , the scale and look of the giant makes it look interesting .

I like the steampunk style of this image , it’s concept art from the elders scrolls skyrim , the contrasting metallic colors and white marble like colors.
