Goodwin - Gates of Hell - WiP

[Goodwin]

Hello, fellow 3d and matte painting artists ! ))
This is my first thread on these forums, though i have been attending them and looking at peoples work for over three years now. And finally i have decided to take part in this challenge.
About myself in short: i'm 22 years old, student, in UK , studying at University for Creative Arts in Rochester, and the course is CG Arts and Animation, year 3.

Finally i decided to take out my dusty wacom a4 tablet and take part in one of these challenges. I have 7 years of experience in artschool, that's why i love drawing and painting not only in PS but in general too, love doing fine art.

Well, here're a couple of ideas / concepts for this challenge.

The first one is an idea of a portal surrounded by walls. A lot of paths lead to this place,in the middle behind the walls there will be a portal or a gate which leads to hell. The sketch is not still finished, i'll try to develop it a bit more, after i give in my major project on friday )) I looked at Lord of the rings and World of Warcraft ( especially the Icecrown zone, if you know what i'm speaking about ).


the second idea: i wanted a gate of hell to be some kind of an abandoned scientific facility, where scientists did experiments with soles and discovered the way to hell, but due to strange things happening in there they had to abandon this facility and close it... or something like that... haven't made a clear story yet... ))





p.s. my english is not perfect, cos it's not my native language )) so don't pay attention to mistakes
