Obi-Wan Kenobi - Mapuzo Imperial Spaceport

Mapuzo! One of the favorite locations I worked on for the Obi-Wan Kenobi TV show. Unfortunately it didn’t make it to the end and we only saw a fraction of these designs in the show - the comm tower (seen briefly for a few seconds in the bg). Even the landscape changed to a different look in the end.

So in these concept designs there is a lot going on. First I designed a town built on a mine, the houses are favela-like built on that terraced quarry to the left in first image. Industrial elements, pipes and and a funicular is leading up to the top of the mountain, which has been terraformed and stripped by the Empire to build an imperial base. They basically just cut the mountain top in half.

I helped design the imperial base and the communication tower, I worked worked on a new unmanned transport ship in a similar style as the cargo shuttle from Rogue One.

The mountain is sculpted in 3DCoat, everything else was put together in Blender. The background is mostly photoshop, painting and photo textures.
