September 24 2011 - Brainstorm

Week 1. As I have a passion for 3d level design for games I have been looking in different places for inspiration; the web, books, posters and generally what I see during my tavels while going to university. There are many subjects relating to environments and over the next couple of weeks I want to narrow this down and find the right topic for me which will compliment both the dissertation question and my honours project.

When I was thinking what to do, I realised that my ideas were small and I wasn't opening my imagination and thinking massive. So I've included some images of some surreal environments from Avatar and Alice in Madness Returns. These examples are purely from a style perspective, I dont want to just make a generic environment one that you would expect, I want something that is unique and fresh. These are just initial ideas that I have but this will change as time goes on I'm sure.
