After finishing the skyline scenes, I went onto drawing shapes in a scene and began adding in detail. The below image is the result of these experiments, I have drawn the force field in a blue hue to illustrate what it and make it clearer to see, I have stayed away from any other colouring because I don't want to commit to anything, making sure the buildings are right before moving onto colour.

After feedback on Friday it was brought to my attention that the designs for the buildings within our game were too evil/sinister looking. I was then advised to try and mix photographs of architecture for shapes and ideas, this worked really well and has given fresh ideas on the style of the architecture that will be within our game. the images below were created using photographs that had been cut up in Photoshop then grey-scaled and finally made into stamps using the stamp filter, this allowed me to see only their shapes rather than details.

further concept designs and architecture research

after feedback last week, I went onto looking at unusual architecture and developing my concepts further
