Ostium Orci

I am considering changing my direction to a cave scene. I want to keep dramatic lighting, by using fire, but I thought this would be more interesting to work on. I did a quick sketch, and started modelling. The concept for this is a gate to hell (Ostium Orci). More sketches are coming, but the concept is basically a short walk up a mountain to the Ostium Orci, located in a cave surrounded by magma. Stalctites and stalagmites are used to create archways, bridges, stairs, and blockades. There is a wooden bridge over the magma because...who would want to walk on something so flammable over lava? Sounds like a death trap to me. Scattered around will be bones and weapons of people that failed to reach the gate.

A little creepy and morbid, but I think it will challenge me to improve my skills, and will require a lot of work. I'm excited!

    Hi Allie,

    This is fine too, but I would like to see some more detailed concepts, and maybe hear some more about the environment.

    Great start on the modeling!

      I updated the blog, and I will definitely add more detailed sketches as my concept develops further. Thanks for the input!
