Outpost

 The final project for my Introduction to Concept Art. 

 Based on the Cruik Fortress from Ace Combat 5, I had the idea that the base was set into a crater, which is why there are two secondary craters. What you see is merely the runway and hangar bay, as well as doors for land vehicles, which are connected to a variety of corridors, some of which lead to the surface. There are also emergency doors at the end of the runways that lead to the surface, though I didn't do the doors for those on the landscape, figuring they wouldn't be visible from this angle anyways. Same thing goes for strategically places weapons hatches. Or I just didn't have enough time to do them.

 I was sort of channeling Ancient design when designing the comm tower in that crater. Hopefully, you can't tell that I didn't really put a lot of thought into the design.

 I learned the hard way that I really need to learn how to draw terrain and mountains, because as you can see, I have no idea how to. That is something I'll have to address before my next class starts. I also need to work of perspective, since I had a hard time wrapping my head around that.

The grade I got for this project is a C+, which I guess is okay for my first environmental concept work.
