New World, Old Traditions

Challenge

An entry for the Minimalist Marvels contest by Textures.com. The task was a minimalist structure in the desert that respects the way of life around it.

Approach

We went with night. The building is a single line of light on the sand, and camels and people nearby give the scale. The structure itself doesn't pull focus.

Result

Two night scenes and the sketch they started from.
