Initial Conceptual Designs

I spend a while looking at various work and started on trying to depict the first and final scenes to get the contrast right. I wanted the first scene to be extremely morbid and to perceive Hayle as a complete polar to how Winnie saw it. I looked at characturizing the scenes to do this. The houses had to have character so did any trees. For the initial concepts of these 2 I drew out loads of different settings but all focussed around a bench from which Winnie would be reminising from. The above are some of the inspiration for the morbid scene.
