Task 3 - Initial sketches for environment

In this Task I am going to be sketching several  3D Forest environments idea's using my concept board for my main inspiration. The Sketches will be annotated and labelled to help explain each individual Idea.

Sketch Idea #01
For my First Idea I decided to Create a environment which includes having Hill's on either side of the 3D project and In the centre there will be a mud path leading up to a waterfall. The waterfall is on a rocky/Muddy Mountain which has a dense Forrest on top. Although in this environment you will only be able to see the trunks of the tree's. The Main attention of this environment will be the waterfall and the mushrooms which are located more towards the front of the environment. 
Initial Sketch Idea No:1

Sketch Idea #02
My second sketch Is one of my favourites although I personally think it might be a bit to busy. In the centre of the environment there is a pathway which leads to a bridge which is going over a small river. The pathway is going to be made out of a old, destroyed stone texture which has a small dirt path going slightly off it into the dense tree's to the right of the environment. On the right you will see a big, densed Forrest which includes A lot of tree's with a few mushrooms just to add a more enchanted atmosphere. On the left Hand side you will see 2 standing up trees and a bush with a lake, bridge and another dense forest in the background. In the far back background I've decided to add mountains just to give the environment a bit more depth and more eye catching although like mentioned before, I am afraid this might make the environment to busy and overwhelming. Behind the mountains I am going to give the sky a blue/red effect to make the sky look like it is at dawn and the environment is set early in the morning. This will give the environment a reddish glow caused by haze or clouds.

Sketch Idea #03
For this sketch Idea, I've decided to make everything a bit more simple. On the ground their will be grass and a mud path leading to a bridge, similar to the previous sketches. Although, the main attention will be on the mushrooms which will be standing up on the right and left side of the 3D environment. One of the mushrooms will be tilted up and have a unusual texture as the underneath the mushroom to help create a more unusual, enchanted, magical forest.  In the background of the environment you will be able to see tree trunks with a sunset background.
