Concepts made for a personal project where I wanted to explore world building and how I could work with an epic sense of scale. Modeled in Maya, rendered in Blender and post processed in Photoshop.

"For many years the planet has been at the outer regions of its cyclical orbit around its sun which has resulted in a drop in temperature. The following ice age and the expansion of the polar caps caused a significant sea level drop. Massive corals, otherwise buried beneath the sea have surfaced and have become a refuge for a primitive fishing people and gifted climbers who built their homes directly on the coral walls, safe from the dangers below."
