Revendreth Castle Nathria

These are concepts I worked on for Castle Nathria in Revendreth. This was really fun and I referenced one of my favorite classic animated films for inspiration. Kevin Young did an amazing job building the castle in 3d, check out Shadowlands and Revendreth to see the castle in all it's glory!

I went more stylized to inspire and echo the feeling of Revendreth, which was darker and had a classic Transylvania vibe.

Some ideation for the castle tower. I looked for ways to make it stand out. This is how I normally start a concept, with a bunch of idea doodles.

This was a very early concept of the Revendreth Realm. I referred back to this image much later for inspiration to make the Castle more iconic by adding a giant gargoyle on top.

Exploration of how the Gargoyle could be integrated into the castle, along with possible paths for the players.

Further development of the structure. I wanted the wings to wrap around the castle and be structural, almost like supporting walls and buttresses.

Here I refined the line art and designs further and start to add color and mood.
