This project done in a mentorship with Vinicius Pazian(Catatau), the focus was to portray a message or feeling through design principles and composition. Huge thanks to him for helping me bringing my crazy ideas to life, I really learned a lot.

The first idea was to use indigenous elements, but using mayan elements gave better results to what I was looking for
I made some entrance modules to give a general feel of the shape language and base design
Some thumbnails were made in 2D to find a general mood, after that made a 3D base
With the colors I was looking for a feel of mystery, ancient, and a supernatural touch. Went with option 07
Painted over the 3D base
