HA5 Task1 - Reference Research

This task is going to include visual and written reference images that will help me with inspiration for the concept art which is going to be created for the setting, character and equipment. 

Setting
The setting is going to be based in a Castle dungeon during medieval times. The Dungeon is going to be dark, gloomy, dirty, damp and is going to be brick heavy walls with a lot of objects including torture and interrogation devices. 

In this image I like the layout of the dungeon and the colors for instance its easy to see the shadows. I also like the torture devices In this image as well as the bones and cages hanging from the ceiling. 



I love the detail of the walls and the torches in this image. I think it gives an creepy but interesting effect which I Personally think will fit in well with my setting for the concept art.

Im going to use this image as an reference image because I do like the layout, I like how the gate and room looks because it gives an great effect for the shadowing plus it gives the room more of an interesting look. I think It does this by giving the gate and a room both attention in detail for example not making the room just the main priority but also showing how dark, dirty and gloomy the dungeon rooms are.http://www.kingkostasart.com/work/




Although I do prefer the look of the shape of the bars from this gate because I like how chunky the bar is.

I like the layers in clothing in this image although for my character I would want the colours to be more bright to give the look more dimension and look more like an 'traveler would do'

Below is more reference images which Is helping me generate ideas for the clothing for my character.

FaceIn this section Im looking closly at the face detail whether that is for the bears, eyes or even just the face structure. These images are inspiring me for the facial part of the character.
