In the Clouds
ENVIRONMENT ART
In the Clouds is a stylised 3D environment project set among floating lighthouse islands guiding airships through cloud routes.
The central lighthouse acts as both a navigation beacon and travelling trade hub, while a neighbouring island contains a mechanical weather station providing storm and route data. Rope bridges, docking platforms, suspended machinery and rock formations reinforce environmental storytelling.
Inspired by fantasy and steampunk aesthetics, the scene emphasises atmosphere, exploration and world building.

Charlie Dutton Year 3 Graduate 2026
Passionate about games design and starting university with no prior experience in art, the beginning was challenging! However through the support and guidance of inspiring lectures I was able to develop both my technical and creative skills.
I enjoy creating realistic art styles and exploring the full process of 3D modelling. One aspect of the creative process I am particularly interested in is analysing references and studying real-world textures and details, as I believe observation is an essential part of artistic growth.
