Inheritance Art Breakdown: Entry Hall

Got another piece to show all of you from the same artist who did the master bedroom.

So, this particular image has an interesting evolution, and was actually started about a year ago.

About a year ago, we had three artists working on Inheritance related art.  One of them started this image and went missing on is.  We made use of their early sketches as a starting point for the image.

Original sketch:

Now, with that as a starting point, since the original artist went missing, I commissioned the piece through another artist.

New artist first sketch:

Overall it looked alright, but I emphasized to them the need to add a bit of curve to the stairs.

Second sketch:

This second sketch looked much better.  I gave them the go ahead to continue.  We also discussed the chandelier and how it acts as a kind of centerpiece to the image, as well as  how the lighting will work for the image.

Third sketch:

The artist decided to take a  different approach to the image.  They changed the angle to shift some focus toward the chandelier and did a bit of a redraw of the overall image.  I was very pleased with this version of the piece.

Flats:

I loved the chandelier in this.  And the overall feel of the image was coming together very nicely.  I asked the artist to make the walls pale while emphasizing woodwork for the rails.  We also talked about the murals on the walls.   The last thing we discussed was that I wanted a bit more detail work for the statues.

Final Day:

I was really happy with how the chandelier seemed to fill the room with light

Final Night with Lights:

The illuminated chandelier was impressive.  Loved the way the lights within filled the room with light.

Final Night version:

The artist took some liberties with how the lighting worked in the night image, but I'm not complaining at all.  The result is far better than anything I'd have thought to ask for.

Very happy with the end results, and they're currently in the game.  Can't wait to see what you all think of it being in the game!
