The bath house is located within Bahaara's Temple of Dreams, the location of the bad guy's stronghold.
In the Death Dealer book there isn't too much of a description for this environment, so I figured I had a bit of free reign here. My initial research came from a quick Google search of temples and church interiors. After a glimpse of some of the resulting images, I set to designing my own environment, choosing to not rely on reference for this one. Rather, I tried to let my visual memory guide my design.
Although the brief states that this part of the project should be a line drawing, I decided to go ahead and use Google SketchUp to produce this image. In hindsight, this may have been the wrong choice to make as I might be marked down for not following the brief accurately. On the other hand, time was a deciding factor on my decision; although I could have drawn an image such as this - with some difficulty - I wanted to present as detailed a design as possible with the resources and time available to me.
My focus was on creating a relatively simple design for the set, focusing on bold shapes and atmospheric lighting potential.
After rendering out the final image, I sketched in the 3 characters who would be present within the scene, to show their general placement on set.
