I've been looking through some concept art for various films and games, looking for some inspiration for my essay. I would rather do my essay on the concept of a film than a game, but I would still like to look at some game art.

I don't play many games, but my favourite one from the last few years in The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. The whole design of the game was brilliant, from the story to the visuals, which is why I immeadiately thought of this title when looking for some art. Below I have posted some concepts from the game. I really love the style, it is simple but shows a lot of detail and atmosphere.




I have started to practice some basic ideas in photoshop using my tablet. As my text is 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth' I am practicing creating some rock ideas to use. I think so far, I have the basic shape and colour, but i'm hoping as I learn to digitally paint, I can make it look more realistic.
