METEOR FALLS



Background & Layout Design



The final piece done from a collection of Background and Layout designs. These pieces focused more toward Game Art Design and Animation. It’s another illustrative piece that I feel my skills can shine through.

The premise of this illustration was to focus on any layout we desired, it could be from a game, story, movie, real life, or our imagination. I chose to illustrate my interpretation of an area called Meteor Falls in one of the Pokémon series games.

I focused my attention to the detail and lightening used in the most recent games. The light blue coming from the water and the yellow color of the rock are just examples of how this is implemented.

I based the area on a real-life location of the entrance at the caves in Inks Lake, Texas. I needed a real light source and based that into this work.
