Nothing finalized but just a quick experiment actually placing my character in his lair, I'm quite pleased with how it's coming along. :)

Experimenting With Colour

They're a bit extreme, but I was just playing about with colour in Photoshop for my lair's concept art. I am aiming to keep the vibrant, graphical style :)

UPDATE:
After speaking with Jordan, he suggested it would be best to keep the colours limited and not to apply the level of vibrancy to the whole lair otherwise it comes across as too fun and happy. I want a slightly more sinister feel as it is for a Master Criminal. It was also mentioned that I remove the kind of panel/desk object in the foreground as this is distracting from the focus and disrupts the sense of scale. In my next paintings I am going to start with much more dull colours and add elements of brightness and and glowing feel by using some tools and techniques that Jordan showed me, I think this will be more successful.

Maya: Secret Lair Experiments

A quick play around on Maya, adding textures / colours to my idea for my lair. I quite like how it's coming along, just wandering if the colours are too playful for an 'Atomic Master Criminal' ?
Any suggestions / opinions ?

Thumbnails to Maya Development

I painted these thumbnails in Jordan's Photoshop class, I'm happy and confident in keeping a vibrant colour palette for this project and my secret lair but I struggled to get a good sense of scale in my concepts - they all felt quite close-up. So Jordan suggested that I go into Maya and create some basic shapes in a scene for my lair and just to play around with scale and the camera angle as this will then help me create more exciting thumbnails with interesting shots. This is what I've created so far...

 They are mainly inspired by thumbnails 2 and 3;

Thinking of making a sort of 'sleeping pod' that protects and energizes the Master Criminal.

Influence Map - Atomic Lair

In my OGR feedback, Phil suggested quite a few images for me to look at inspire me, most of them I've included in this Influence Map as I really liked them and they are helpful for my lair design. I've included a few others too relating to what was said in Phil's suggestions. I hope to include the vibrant and exciting colours again in this project.
