Battle Arena Greybox

The first term of the 3D Art Production Course entails creating a battle arena. As part of this project we must create a grey box version of our arena.

The idea of my arena is an abandoned mining operation. A corporation found an incredibly valuable resource buried on an asteroid underneath an ancient alien structure. However, after weeks of mining and the destruction of much of the sacred alien structure, one of the untouched structures came to life. It sent a beam of light up into the sky and part of it began floating. A day passed and nothing happened. Just as the corporation thought they were safe gigantic spiked rockets fell from the sky, aiming all over the facility. They struck at enormous speeds, ravaging the structures and vehicles. The remaining workers went into panic and tried to flee the facility. They did not escape. From the falling ships came hordes of alien monsters which tore the workers apart. Although the angered aliens destroyed the facility they made a fatal mistake. The facility was on a remote asteroid, so they had to keep fuel with them. They stored it in large tanks which were designed to withstand a lot. One of the smaller alien ships went straight into the central tank. It exploded and the expanding cloud of fire killed everything still living on the asteroid. The sight of the decrepit mine now is eerie.

For now we are just grey boxing our arena. Later on in the course we will make a statue to go in the arena. I have left a podium overlooking the mine to put a statue on. I think it will be of one of the aliens that the structure belonged too.
I'm really happy with how it turned out but I think maybe there should be more in the mine area.
Here are several images of my arena. Starting with the mood-board.
