High atop the medieval battlements, a nightwatchman is impeded in his duty by the arrival of a pesky owlet.

Set Teaser and Ambient Lighting (Night) Test

Here is a teaser showing a close up of my castle fortifications set, complete with stone texturing. Eventually I will add gunge and moss to weather the whole thing up a bit to give it a sense of age and history, but I don't want to go too mad in these early stages. I have four more huge base pieces like this one to construct so it's gonna be time consuming enough just getting the basics built, but when it's all completed to this level of detail I imagine it'll look awesome.


Also I quickly messed about with levels and colour balance in AFX to get this shot to look like it's lit by ambient light at night time. What you see above is the vague aesthetic I hope to achieve, with a subtle blue overlay that suggests a moonlit night. I'll look into creating 'fake' night-time lighting in AFX in detail for when it comes to actual post-production.
