vague idea of volcano concept

This is a vague idea of the whereabout of layers in my volcano concept. I have decided to opt out of doing the previous volcano concept in which Captain Nemo and Arronax are looking up at the volcano and have instead decided to show them looking down at the volcano. I believe this change has allowed me to explore new techniques such as creating lava and using lighting techniques on the inside of the volcanic rocks.

images that influenced my volcano concept

These two images have helped me progress my volcano concept. The second, allowed me to get an idea of the various details that are present on the volcanic rocks, aswell as observe lighting as the rocks slope inwards. The second allowed me see the different colours present in lava.

vague idea of volcano concept

This was another concept that I thought about pursuing, however I have decided to do the same passage that this was painting based on, but alter it instead. I will not be pursuing this any further, but will instead be working on a concept based on if Captain Nemo and Arronnax reach the summit, but instead looked down on a volcano, instead of up at it, as I believe it will create more of a visual impact and allow me to explore other digital painting techniques.

images that influenced my horizon concept

Both these images helped me create my horizon concept (approaching Mannaar Island). The second image really helped with understanding how light appears during a sunrise and how it hits the sea and the rest of the surroundings. The first imaged helped with adding light effects effects to my silhouetted Captain Nemo.
