Walls


The universe in which was needed had to be consistent. This meant using a method of texturing walls the same along each set. Due to the fact that the scale was much larger than I am used to I had to experiment with acquiring a convincing brick texture. This came about by cutting hundreds of squares out of cardboard:


I then applied these squares onto a base of cardboard:


I experimented with different sizes and spacings between each brick. I then applied paper mache onto the whole thing to try and blend those spaces in-between each tile.


I realised that this made it look quite 'pillowy' which would suffice for outside walls that would have countless years of wear. but the inside walls I decided to just dry brush straight over the top of the cardboard tiles. 


The effect worked! The ground was simply painted grout to add that little touch of texture to make the set look a bit more believable.
