Virtue's Islands

These are some ideas for an island that was going to be used as a background for a short animation called Virtue, which some classmates and I were working on. The idea was that the island would be floating and surrounded by other smaller islands. It represents Virtue's (the main character) state of mind, it's a place where she can be at peace.

These are some of the things I worked on

A variation of the island. The colors are more dull when Virtue's state of mind becomes corrupted.
