GTE: Finals Preparation

I'm very quickly approaching my final months here at Full Sail, and with that comes the aptly named Game Portfolio, or Finals, courses. To prepare for these upcoming three months, I have had to select either an environment or prop to create during each month. I selected three environments, as I very much enjoy building and texturing them.

The first environment I selected is an operating room located in Harlem Valley State Hospital, an abandoned asylum. In it hangs a lone surgical lamp, with the rest of the equipment long gone. I found this scene very eerie and solemn, and thought it a good starting piece for my portfolio.

 The second environment I'd like to create is a little more busy; a schoolhouse bedroom left to decay in the area of Chernobyl. I feel this scene is a little more spooky than the first, and since the town is one of the first places that comes to mind when I think of interesting environments, I thought that recreating this bedroom would be fitting for my portfolio.

And now my final environment, a nice, pristine corridor with an escalator and staircase. When looking for good examples of interesting environments that would test my skills, this one stood out to me the most. I love the lighting and balance of this photo, and I can't wait to start working on this particular setting.
