When I decided to upload a version for Sketchfab, of course things changed. I started this project with the intent to create a Fan Art Trailer (see below), so at first I wanted the mountain ranges to be just long enough to cover the panning and zooming of the camera. Now that I had those, I first started by modeling the Tower which is obviously the main focal point of the piece.

Luckily for me, I was able to obtain the separate layers of this image and then with a few changes, fill out the colours to suit my needs. ( It was simple, absolutely stunning and gave instantly brought me into that world. The first image I stumbled across, totally blew my mind from the second I saw it. With those things in mind, it was no suprise that when I heard that Olly Moss (one of my all time favourite designers) was doing concept art for the upcoming game Firewatch (currently in development by a studio based in San-Fransisco called Campo Santo), that I immediately jumped onto the web to find images. It is for this reason I have a strong passion for indie game development. I love that so much can be said with colour and strong design, and you dont have to go overboard to create something that can totally capture the mood or emotion you are trying to achieve. Having a lot of graphic design history, I am appreciative of Flat Colour schemes and I have a strong passion for simple and minimalistic art styles. I also work as a graphic designer for a small company close to my home. I am currently a student at the Academy of Interactive Entertainment (AIE). Hi, my name is Tim Vizesi and I am from Newcastle in Australia. In Art Spotlight, we invite Sketchfab artists to talk about one of their designs.
