The Hidden Paradise

Hello Everyone!

I’m excited to announce that I’m officially joining the Veiled Realms Art Challenge and wanted to share my first WIP with you all. I have always considered creating a rich Arabian Environment, and I think this is the right time to do it. I’ve decided to create a paradise city hidden within a vast oasis. The architecture blends Islamic and Sufi-inspired styles, featuring minarets, ornamentation, and colors like cobalt blue and turquoise. The people living here follow a peaceful, spiritual lifestyle rooted in humility, modesty, and love for the divine.

I don't have a direct concept, which means I will be building the world from scratch with the help of AI-generated images and different concepts that I'll be using for inspiration.

I would call it for now "The Hidden Paradise", I might change that name when I give it enough thought later. I spent a few hours doing some studies about all the aspects of this Environment and the people who live there, because everything is going to shape the final product, so I have to keep everything in mind, such as Society & Culture, like Why Are The people here? What do they believe in and what their Values are, etc.

I have already started building a Miro WhitBoard to write down all these information and gather references.

I'm planning to use Unreal Engine 5 as a game engine, Modeling will be done in 3Ds max, I will relay a lot on Substance Painter and Designer since my environment will have Calligraphy and colorful ornemants, I'll be using Zbrush as well for the organic stuff and vegetaion, I might use some assets and materials I created before by myself.

See you in the next WIP!
