Hell Of A Project

So roughly a week ago I met up with a friend who wanted to start a project for her portfolio and thought it wouldn't be so bad of an idea to go along as I was at the stage of no motivation and was needing some sort of project that will keep me going. So the project came after talking about game environments and how a scene would be cool to produce, plus my portfolio needed some more concept designs in it. So we went off on our own to find references to start the project and hell came into each other's mind and decided to follow up on that, so many games and matte paintings were looked at, and so I went on the trusted Internets and my resource book for a spark of how I would go abouts doing this. A few ideas were exchanged between myself and my friend and this sketch or stages were produced from that, the idea over all is that this is hell and the environment in which it rests in but I didn't feel that the area was described well as hell so i added a layer on top in which is a giant crack in the floor of earth and a fellow crack in the floor of hell I may add something like a gate to explain it more but so far this is the process of the concept design.
