Elevator for The Last Child: Valdoria

Elevator concept art for the Last Child: Valdoria. This is the second version of the elevator. The main goal was to make the concept simple and interesting at the same time. The first version had ropes and it made it difficult to animate it. Also the whole mechanism looked strange. So I as a lead artist got the task to remake the elevator. I found a new idea with one vertical pillar and flat platform moving along it. It provided an oportunity to integrate the concept in the game rapidly avoiding many problems with the animation.
