Follow by the story brief this week I mainly find some references on Artstation, these images would lead the whole visual effect and art design.
The very first thing for searching these references is that confirm the basic scene enviroment. So I quickly think about some key words about all the elements I want in the railway station. I searched some station’s images which happened in night and have mid fog weather which is quit good. Besides I prefer to have some crowded and tall building in the behind area, cause the rich usually live in a big house and not nearly the railway station, it will lend credibility to my narrative.
And I also find the character’s reference especial the pose of smoking, cause this pose would lead the audience to this man’s story which happened in his trip before. So I searche this and find Mads Mikkelsen’s pose is a really good reference for me. Besides I wanna this man’s action keep low key and it would make the man more mature and looks reliable.
Finally I also search some images about the train. Cause it happend in the early of 20th, the train could be like steam train.
