3D Computer Modeling images

	This painting was the inspiration for our design of the wharf scene in act two. We were intrigued by the use of green moonlight in the painting.
	We adapted the ideas in the painting for the scene. This image is a rendering of how we envisioned the wharf where Brant is murdered. The result can be seen in the production photos above.

Paintings to convey initial lighting ideas.
