Old shopping mall
This project started out as a simple doodle, gradually snowballing into an environment art concept and finally to a fully textured scene in Unreal 5. I worked on it whenever I had free time. It was little bit of a passion project for me.
This environment was inspired by the first generation of old finnish shopping malls. They often have a modern flat look with occasional turn-of-the-century element like a round corner thrown in. They are an architectural oddity, that has always intrigued me. These buildings also bring up memories of the carefree summers of my childhood: The sweltering summer afternoons walking downtown in the city with friends. Time is sort of standing still, and there is a half melted popsicle in my hand. I wanted to capture that feeling.
