This project was an exercise in concept art, I focused on combining Scottish Gothic architectural styles and a Sci-fi setting. The setting for the images is a remote island based on the island of St Kilda.

As this was the first time i had attempted a realistic style using Photoshop it was a steep learning curve. But looking back at the difference in my work i can see this has greatly improved my skills.

I was also working on a second project in the same year as this project and decided to use the same setting for both. The second project being a interactive 3D environment made in Unreal Engine. I found this helped me explore the setting more in depth and improved both projects.
