Castle in the Forest - Game Environment

Created this environment based on a concept painting by Ioan Dumitrescu for Environment Creation for Games class run by Jon Arellano at Gnomon School of Visual Effects.

I wanted to replicate the moody feel of the painting similar to that of Souls games. I learned a great deal from the class and developed a lot of my technical skills as a CG artist as well as my artistic skills in sculpting different materials. The class was amazing and I highly recommend anyone remotely interested in environments to take it.
