Virdale - Village Concept Art and Vis Dev
Hey folks, Inspired by Misha Oplev and his great world-building, I've decided to follow some of his tips and processes to create something I already have in my mind for a while: Virdale, the village of my little world-building called Mysteries Among The Waves.
Before starting this project, I'd already done a couple of concepts.
Initially, it was to gain a better understanding of house design for another purpose.
Then, I decided to get a little further and push the design a little bit.

Top view of Virdale. There is the "market street" in the harbor, houses, and mountains behind. At the bottom left, there is the lighthouse which needs its own study. It will be the lighthouse of the village and Miradalma's house as well.
Here the shapes of some villagers
