These speed painting tutorials really helped me create my environments. The repetitive structures really come together in the end to create futuristic scenes.

I was inspired by the cold vastness of brutalist architecture. I felt like it met the requirements of having a modern look, but also not being over the top. The vast use of concrete creates a cold atmosphere, isolating the subject form the environment and portraying a separation that I want to convey between the character and the environment.
