These screenshots show the different aspects of the level; from the street view with all the houses and the inn, to the interior of the steam power plant. I want the look of the level to be quite heavily populated by bursts of steam erupting from pipes and cylinders.
These images are used for the inside of the steam power plant that acts as the second component of the level. When the character nears the door they enter the power plant.
The top image shows the sky background used in behind the houses, the bottom image is a variation on the house design depicting an inn just to break up the rows of houses. The midle image is of assorted extra objects to go around and in front of the houses. They include a statue, a well, a barrel, a crate and a tree.
These are the houses that I have drawn for the level digitally painted using corel Painter. I went for an old look to it with a combination of the steampunk elements like the brass pipes. I like the slated roofs of the houses because they give a lot of minute detail to them.
