When starting any CG project, I consider that it is very important to have references. As this project was personal, it was easy for me to find them, since I had the freedom to choose the topics that motivate me.
The landscapes of Taiwan, China and Thailand are very inspiring. They are wonderfully surreal and exotic places, with steep green mountains, mirrors of water from the rice fields and lush vegetation. All of these natural elements, helped me to establish a relation between the architecture and the landscape.
Looking at the selected references, I was able to guess the color harmony that would helped me create a particular mood and atmosphere in my project. The choice was an analogous palette, with cyan as the central color, selecting the blue for shadows and yellow for highlights.
