Tutorial - Narrative Environment Concept Art - Temple of the Fire Valley

This process tutorial covers the whole workflow that was used to create this image, from thumbnailing to how I go about gathering references, to my method of sketching, how I use 3D, to finally painting the final result and every step in-between.

It is not really a how-to tutorial, but I'll explain the thinking process behind the different steps and how I usually approach an image like that and the tips and tricks that I use in my everyday work.

I've tried to make it not too long and concise so the videos are all sped up. It is divided in 7 chapters, for a total of more than 2,5 hours of fully narrated videos (English):

• Chapter 01. Intro
• Chapter02. References
• Chapter 03. Thumbnailing
• Chapter 04.Thumbnail to line sketch
• Chapter 05. Line sketch to color sketch
• Chapter 06. 3D (Blender)
• Chapter 07. Painting to final

This tutorial is more suited for intermediate artist or beginners that already have some foundations in the painting or 3D process.

You'll also get access to the final PSD file as well as a Hi-Res jpeg of the image and a small text document where I list some useful tools and resources.
