Elven Enclave - Digital Painting

Elven Enclave is an environment concept art created in Blender and Photoshop. The interior scene takes place within the tree house shown as the focus of the exterior.

“This work was an exploration of environmental storytelling, composition, narrative, and mood. Within this elven society, there are two castes; the Wood Elves who live in the trees, and the High Elves, who live within the World Tree. I decided to focus on the more rural setting of the Wood Elves, focusing on their relationships and daily activities as displayed by the characters in the scene. I utilized a procedural texture on a 3D render to create a more painterly style and then painted characters into the environment.”
