New World: Ancients

Here’s a collection of concept work done on the Ancient ruins for New World Aeternum. Early on, we knew we wanted to capture a cyclopean form language of massively built blocks to the constructs. The structures themselves are enormous, often being seen from great distances. Their origins and masonry techniques evoke mystery & awe. At twilight, striking silhouettes with glows of bluish flame can be seen flickering from its braziers & torches, often with its protectors patrolling the roads & gateways nearby. I contributed early designs in the form of sketches, mood paintings & schematics that helped shape the poi’s & the environment kit used throughout the world.
