This is my original approved concept idea sketch. Its inspired by Alice in Wonderland in a crazy maze city filled with sofas and furniture and Christmas decors.

After the idea was approved – I worked on the various components to make an interesting fantasy city for hiding the objects filled with details

At the same time I was also working on a detail sketch of the city, setting the scale and how the city will look like and highlights the important areas to make the theme stronger. Planning is very important to make the work go smoothly. As usage a copy of the detailed sketch was given to the programmer to work on the game backend/ programming and to test it on a dummy interface to ensure that the illustration can work properly in the game.

Once I am sure the illustration is all sorted and heading the right direction based on my detail sketch, I start planning how much Christmas decor I need to convince the client on the Christmas look of the game which is important for the festive mood of the campaign already active.

Having gotten’s client’s approval, I proceed to fill up the city with all my components. Changes were made along the way to ensure the pieces fit well.

Notice that I do have a basic isometric grid (light blue tiles) to guide me along under my sketch

After all the pieces were filled in colour, the final step is to hide all the required objects in the correct number in a separate layer.
All hidden component’s position were then shown to and approved by the client before the final illustration is exported and used in the game.
