Building the references

We chose the piece by Katie Nobel and her NightScene  for our setting, in a medieval style.

Our ideas were set in medieval Transylvania for the houses and the lore surrounding it with vampires and werewolves.

We planned our simple wooden buildings and village, and started our research into how we’d make it all.

Skyrim Inspired:

The small villages, wooden houses and shacks are perfect for inspiration for our little village to model. But to some extent they are a bit too basic for a medieval Transylvania, so I started looking at other inspiration to suit the style.

Fable:

The houses in Fable are more suited for the old fashioned buildings and have a nice mix of the fantasy and real life that gave me a few ideas for possible houses.

Pinterest Images:

Aside from looking specifically at Fable, Pinterest also had a wide range of images for medieval, fantasy houses that were both fun and useful to look at.

The Fable games also have great castles in their games that can be great inspiration for our castle with some nice designs and simple topology.

Bringing this into effect I started modelling out my house model.
