Environment Concept Design - Art Brief

Introducing an art brief set by my friend who is a Principle Concept Artist, I was given a task to design an Environment piece which showcases a bleak and slum-like aesthetic with a focus on a key focal point. I was also asked to add to the level design, where the character is able to traverse to a higher level as there are obstacles in the way. The crane is used as the focal point for our character to use and traverse on to the lower levels, due to an unusable road. Drawing inspiration from impoverished slum buildings, landscapes, streets, and neon signs in Asian countries like Hong Kong, this project explores the dystopian world of science fiction. With a keen attention to detail and guidance from my mentor I was able to stick to the brief and think about level design also.
