Artwork created as a Game Asset creation project for university. The goal was to create a set of backgrounds and characters to be used in a game. The backgrounds have all been created with a specific character in mind, usual as it is their domain or home. This project aimed to be a retelling of the story of Alice In Wonderland, except with a slightly darker/gothic twist while also avoiding being Alice Madness Returns.
This character and environment is the Red Princess in the Red Queen's Throneroom. To match the aesthetic goal, the character had to be redesigned and then the environment was created to reflect the character. In this environment, the throne sits on an elevated landing in front of a huge glass painted window with the sun shining in, with the throne casting a huge shadow down on the room. This is meant to symbolisse how the Red Kingdom sees it's subjects as beneath it's royalty, with the royalty having an elevated sense of self.
If I had to improve this, I would add some texture/pattern to the walls as it looks quite plain compared to everything else in the scene.
