Final concept art of 4th trial Castle in “Death’s Hand in Mine”, arguably the best episode of the series.
Early versions of the Castle started out as a more traditional medieval castle look. John Collins wanted me to take it into a more “stylized” realm, to have a Disney Princess vibe, with big towers and conical roofs. We went through a few iterations with more fantasy lighting and color. We finally settled on the central Tower as a prominent element that reflects the interior setting of the trial along with a moodier vibe in term of lighting. It was a pleasant surprise to see that the final shot looked nearly identical to the concept. Really like how it turned out!
