Damsel - Kingdom of Aurea Landscapes

Concept artwork for Damsel / Kingdom of Aurea

Our aim with this concept was to evoke a sense of grandeur and showcase the dynamic changes in the landscape surrounding Aurea’s Castle. Parts of this environment draw inspiration from the landscapes along the Douro River in Portugal, where steep slopes are covered with vineyards and lush greenery. With the use of atmospherics and lighting, the castle's prominence is accentuated in this vast and rugged environment. As one ascends the mountain, the terrain becomes rockier and more treacherous, leading to the dragon’s lair at the peak. From this vantage point, the heroine Elodie gazes out, realizing the daunting distance from others.
