Sketches and Concept Art

As part of level development and design, some sketches were drawn to give an idea what how the level might look like.  Here are three rough sketches of initial ideas for the level based on some images from developed mood boards on Pinterest.  The idea for the theme is industrial, Gothic, gritty, Victorian look.
