Environment Concept Art!

After the coaches looked at my sketches for the assets, they told me that they need to see concept art of the environment, not just assets on their own. This made me panic a little bit because its new to me and it's my responsibility. Taking a deep breath I first created a moodboard of different concept art for inspiration. I looked up underground settings, mushrooms, tunnels, etc. This was the moodboard I created:


What I love about these concept art is the dark and eerie atmosphere but it is also enchanting and beautiful with the soft glow coming from the mushrooms. I am intrigued by the shape of the mushrooms because they looked like some of my own sketches. When I was sketching mushrooms last week I also looked up jellyfish and I was mesmerised by them. Therefore when I was sketching the concept art I had jellyfish on my mind. Here are my attempts of environment concept art for the underground.

Below is my attempt at concept art for the mad scientist. I had difficulty with the architecture and depth because I have not been taught how to draw rooms. But practice makes perfect!
