Concept

Ok, I have had one picture in the pipeline for a while (I'll upload asap), but after a lot of thought, I need to make this project more me. I have had the sketch pad out all day, and have been putting together some shapes for each building I have listed. Its coming along great, and I have basically been sketching out some bits and bobs so I can focus individually on each building.

These buildings/features include:
  • Wand Shop
  • Broomstick Store
  • Cauldron Shop
  • Stationary Store (quills, etc)
  • Food Store
  • Sweet Shop
  • Book Store
  • Rundown Shops
  • Art Gallery
  • Stairways
  • Bridges
  • Random Doors
  • Tunnels

These ideas are brimming out of my brain, so the next few posts should be frantic scribbles!

The general atmosphere:
  • Lit lanterns.
  • The time of day when the sun starts to set and it smells like night time, all the windows look really warm and cosy inside, with glowing light.
  • Embers floating through the air.
  • Smoke chugging out of the chimneys.
  • Slight fog/mist, but nothing eerie.
  • Higeldy-Pigeldy buildings all fighting for space. (Like when plants fight for sunlight!)
  • Alleyways, bridges and stairs appearing from all over, joining anything and everything.
