Ending Gangway concept thing




Im totally not in the zone for concepting tonight, I had an image in my head and i didnt manage  to produce anything remotely good that depicts it visually, so I will resort to my grasp of the english language to describe what I had in mind while i was failing at photoshop ;)

Basically, I was thinking about the end of the level, I was imagining having spend a good chunk of time in dingy dark, dank, depressing, cold, (but beautiful) level environment, and to have finally overcome what I thought was the final puzzle or boss or whatever of the level and now have arrived at a long runway with the beautiful light of day 
at the end of it.  Although ofcourse there would be something more.  Like maybe the stone swans on the wall nearest the viewer of the concept (yes thats what they are supposed to be, 
in the dark.) come to life and break of the wall and attack or something.  I dunno, whatever thats not the point.  Its late and ive lost all control over yabbering on about unnessasary crap. The scene was supposed to be wet and cold with a warm light at on side/corner, with the water crashing about underneath, and the plants littering the walls (vines etc) 
would seem more lifefull if you know what i mean.  hmm this is hard... its late... cant talk...

ok my thought process:
BIG SCALE - i like that idea
Water - cool idea, has a lot of potential, water is cold and can be eerie etc,
if there is water then theres usually life, but life is generally not eerie, and not having much life or dead life is someone more unsettling.  If theres water and no life then somethings wrong.... very wrong....

end of the level, hopefull end, a bit more life, thus crashing water, more life in the plants, LIGHT!

of course i wouldnt imagine the game to play out that easily though, its not the end yet... mwahaha.  

Um, yea, with this concept i was trying to create a gradient between (life, light, and love), and (darkness, death, unnatural stillness) etc.  

the red man is in there so show some scale.  

gosh, if you read down to here well done :) GOLD STAR FOR J00!
