Ok, first of the landmarks, this week its the Argrows Shopping center:
For the most part I’m happy with this design, its an important location, there are a few things I need to tweak, for example it needs to show it can transform into a bomb shelter for civilians, but the shape and colour scheme I’m pretty happy with, I chose to use a blue-purple colour to make it stand out from the other buildings and a Red for the Logo to show a warning of the conflict which will happen there, luckily Red is a pretty common colour for Logos so it shouldn’t look too forbidding.
A huge inspiration for the protruding segments were based off of the Scottish Parliament of all places:
I Love this building design, I plan on taking a few different elements from it for different buildings in the future.
These segments however were a bit awkward, so I decided to experiment with a another method of planning my concept art. I made a rough shape in 3D first and drew over it:
The finally product turned out well, but I’m very glad I practised a lot doing perspective in 2D first, it made things like the pillars much easier to draw correctly.
