Final Photoshop concept art

when I created this concept I first decided that I wanted it to be in the morning so I could use the sunrise in the back to highlight all the edges of my scene and I tried to mimic some of the bright sunrises/sunsets I found in the research of different films and games in a fantasy setting.

I had used one of the unique tree concepts I created with a twist in the trunk as they were different but not too striking that they draw too much attention from the centre of the scene where i put my main eye catcher which was the bridge, I made the bridge a contrasting colour to the surrounding scenery so it would stick out more, I also created vines that were growing underneath wrapping around the supports to make it seem very old and the plant life is growing around it making it part of the natural scenery.

bellow the bridge I created a creature that was a cross between a bird and a reptile because I thought it was an interesting and unique idea, I wanted there to be some animal life in the scene to make it more interesting to look at and imagine how they would live within the scene.

I origionlally planned to add a lake in the back ground but I decided to remove because I was struggling with the lighting and making the surface of the water reflective, I decided to instead leave it as an open field so its not so distracting from the foreground.

Having done experiments creating rocks i used what i had learned to create a more realistic looking attempt, i did this by focusing more on the shape and shading of the rocks instead of the texture like i did with the experiment
