Thief 4 Environment
polycounter lvl 4
Working on this small environment in Cry Engine 3 based on concept art from Thief 4 of an Apothecary.
So far this is what I have. I'm Experimenting with a more dramatic blue color palette than the original concept right now and obviously not all the assets are finished or present in the scene yet. Feedback and comments appreciated.

The space between floor boards is quite wide. It's also unlikely that a single plank would be as long as the room; it's more likely that they would be irregular lengths 4-6' long.
Given this, wireframes of the scene might help reveal other balances.
Also the large watermark is distracting.
The Thief series has had electricity on occasion, oddly enough. But regardless, a cliche orange and teal or yellow and blue hue/contrasting lighting would look better. Assuming the concept is being used as more of a vague idea than a style guide, as there isn't a whole lot of color in it. Which lends the image to feeling darker than it really is nicely.
Id really recommend doing that awesome cash register next, that will be a difficult prop in itself.
Also are you planning on including the spiral staircase in the concept? because im not seeing it in your shots and that would be a sweet opportunity to throw in some fill light.
Keep at it!
