WORLDS | 3D | Submerged Gothics | Yudist

Hi Guys,
This challenge intrigued me and thought i can learn plenty from this experience, and hopefully finishing something for once.

Anyways, for this challenge I decided to create an underwater scene as I've been wanting to try something along those lines for quite some time now. The setting for this scene is that sometime during an alternate 16th century, a major catastrophe /earthquake happened and sent areas of Western Europe to the depths of the sea. That same earthquake created an opening in the seabed where an ancient yet highly advanced race of amphibious humanoids had lived. Having a curiosity towards the newly submerged ruins of cities and towns, they created facilities within and around the ruins to further study them without having have to expose themselves and stay hidden in the safety of the ocean.

I've created a basic sketch and a mood board for this challenge. I'm not much of a concept artist so do mind the sketches. hehehe.

What I hope to learn from this challenge is to finish a project, something that seems to be so hard to do for me as of late. I also hope to be able to further learn techniques to streamline my workflow as well as touch up on skills that I have 'left unused' for quite some time now.

I'm excited to see what you guys come up with for this challenge. Good luck guys, and have fun

Cheers,
Yudist

Hi guys,
A bit of an update on my part. Haven't had much time to work on this but been trying to spend a couple of hours every now and then.
I've made a few base mesh for the Gothic architecture, but haven't made variations of them, especially the destroyed versions. I put the assets all into UE4 and made a very simplistic material of just a grey color just to see if the assets work well together as well as testing out the scale. The mesh I've made so far are still in its basic form, I haven't even unwrapped them.
I plan on sculpting some details once I feel satisfied with the pieces, then I'll start making the variations for the ruin pieces. Anyways, here's a few pics of the work in progress so far.

Cheers
