Wheel World: Art Vertical Slice
During the pre-production of Wheel World, I mocked a couple of vertical slice maps, then did some paint-overs to detect which tech we'd be needing and settle the art direction.

This was the first "Art Test" map I built. There's some paintover for the fog and outlines.
Concept of the player's workshop based on a blockout scene. Dann Beeson later built the scene up.
The vertical slice map, I did the modeling and worldbuilding, many of the town assets are by Dann Beeson. 10% is paint-over for mood.
