This artwork is inspired by Blizzard’s Diablo series, which shaped my love for dark, moody, semi-stylised environments. I began by sketching in Photoshop with large, textured brushes, focusing on clear shapes and composition rather than details.
At this stage, I avoided using pure black or pure white values, which makes it much easier to introduce colour later. I recommend pushing the greyscale phase as far as possible – almost fully resolving the environment in values first.
