Hero Colour Use




In the film Hero, they use the different coloured environments to mark different themes and stories in the narrative. It creates a very bold, original effect.

NatGeo

Desert reclaims buildings in Namibia

I am increasingly finding that National Geographic is one of my favourite sources for real life inspiration. This photo is just incredible, I'm not sure whether to believe this is natural lighting or not, but it makes for a fascinating environment nonetheless.

Deep Sea Creatures 2










The incredible Dumbo Octopus; uncanny faces of the Hatchetfish; surreal-mario-style Predatory Tunicate, glass-internal-organ-looking Tunicate and huge floating colony of Tunicates.

Deep Sea Creatures





Recently, I have been looking at deep sea creatures in a good portion of my spare time and have been a little obsessed with them for a few years now. I think that they can provide incredible inspiration for very original art, in environments, characters, concepts etc. It is one of the richest design resources I have ever come across, and looking at some of the cliches that appear in many games and films, seems to be relatively unexplored.
The surreal deep sea cucumber, Enypniastes; a group of ancient-looking Isopods and a mugshot; the transparent-headed Barreleye Fish; the ridiculous Blobfish.
