Creating A Fantasy World

I started experimenting with different colours to see what kind of world I wanted to create. 

I took ideas from all the films i researched. Pan's Labyrinth has a dark blue colour to it, whereas in Paranorman it's green. Andy's imagination in Tory Story 3 is a sandy colour.

I also thought about what was going to be in the fantasy world. I want to create a vast landscape with little life in. So, for now, all I've put in the wide open landscape is a few trees. I also experimented with the shape of the trees, I didn't know whether I wanted a typical tree, or a strange, fantasy tree. 

Here are the experimental images:

All of these worlds have a different feel to it. my favorite one is the first one, the green world. I like the creepy, spooky feel. I also like the trees in the first one, they look a little like claws rising from the ground. the swirly trees of the orange trees are good, but they don't have the same effect. The last world is quite dark and spooky, but it also looks like night time. With the typical tree and blue sky, it doesn't represent a fantasy world.
