Above are my initial thoughts on the mood and style of the world I will be building. I have taken inspiration from fantasy animations such as How to Train Your Dragon (2010) and Children Who Chase Lost Voices (2011). Also, the work of Kazuo Oga is extremely inspiring. He is the background artist for Studio Ghibli.
The mood and style I would like to capture is that of a sense of calm and a sense of warmth. The images above all capture the sunlight in a beautiful way. There is also a colour palette based mainly around green. There are areas of orange where the sunlight is strongest and cool pinks to represent shade.
