Building Background #2

And here is building number two for the backgrounds I am working on. Hopefully, I will finish buildings three and four in the next week.

Building Background - Original Idea Sketch

Here is the original sketch that I made as I was coming up with the idea for the building background.

Building Background

So, I am working on an idea I had for promotions. It would be used in places where I would have more than just one table for our mission display, or I could also use it behind me as we speak. Basically it is a vertical banner, or rather four vertical banners. Each one is to look like a different building. Buildings in Italy are often several stories, multi-colored and consisting of apartments and businesses. Many businesses will have the bottom storefront door and the rest of the building is composed of either apartments or offices. Here is my first building for a banner. I am posting the three final stages.



1) First is the final before texturing...

2) Second, texturing is added...

3) Finally, shading is added for the final look...

Italy Mosaic Finished

Here is the final, albeit lower resolution, Italy Mosaic. This is one half of our banner that goes behind our missions table. It is compromised of about 750 pictures, all taken of people, places or things in Verona. I added to my own photos, those taken by Rae Bubp, April Kilgore, Jason Casey and Charles Lawyer. Thanks for helping take pictures everyone!
