I've decided to invest in environment design, I am forever in love with character design, the clothes, the little details such as small scars, motifs and visual values a person or creature can carry, but it's starting to feel like comfort zone, and as such I need to expand, to grow, I'm not sure how much of good quality these next environments may be, as Im still learning, but growth is something that happens to you, growth is not necessarily good and as long as we stick to good, we'll never have real growth.

The concept just really came to me, I chose an image that inspired me to do this concept but it was the concept I liked the least, or felt drawn to the least, I notice that the bar is often set too high when doing these, I go over ambitious to make something really really cool, and I get crippled by it's possible awesomeness when it's not working my way. I guess I'm afraid I can't pull off the ambitious or really good idea I have, so I went with a lesser one. I still get bothered when this happens, when I'm crippled by how cool a briefing is, but I guess it's just natural as Im not used to do environment designs, if it was a character or prop, I wouldn't have these worries.

I need to teach myself to find better reference, reference that works with me instead of agaisn't me too. I find that it does 80% of the job when I find the right element. Pinterest seems the best ally, as it suggests many other similar images based of one that I deem really good, into a narrower search.
