West-Worlds

Week 1

1 The sculptures engraved in the centre of the archway show a statement of powerful figures, and I could implement this type of design within my dungeon, reflecting the religion, beliefs and symbols from the Warhammer 40k.

2 The symbol on the top of the entrance shows me that I could use iconography within my door design.

3 I added this image of Siena Cathedral as its shape and colour palette gives off a steampunk aesthetic and reflects the Space Marine design.

4 The image of the pillars and columns connected by the cut-out arches is a great inspiration as it is sculptured in the Gothic style, and I could create a design in the arch that uses Warhammer symbology.

5 I chose this image as it is a good reference for size and scale for when building the level environment.

6 The pattern on the window seems in a gothic and regal style, which would be great inspiration for the window in the dungeon.

7 Angelic design of an organ with a stature which I could see would make great inspiration for the shrine.

8 This shows a Gothic window cut-out, which would hint to the player of the world outside.

9 The gothic rose stained glass window draws your eye to the centre. It uses strong symbolism, and I am considering how to use this feature in my scene.

10 I chose this as it represents the way that buildings deteriorate over time.

11 The cathedral shows that each layer has ornamental detail, with the idea that there’s a reasoning behind that. Warhammer

12a The picture was chosen for its imposing structure, and I want to reflect this feeling and powerful look within my dungeon design.

12b I also chose the picture as it has the stone workings of the cathedral with some metal scaffolding, and this mixture evokes ideas of structures being preserved, evolved and built on just as they do in the 40k universe.

13 I am interested in the light beaming through the windows; the windows would have been designed to allow a ‘godly light’ to beam down from above, and I want to implement this type of design in my cathedral.

14 The design of the cathedral has prominent curving shapes in a symmetrical, industrial feel. Similarly, the metallic reflection from the top spire gives me an idea of a metallic-stone material.
