This is one of the early concept sketches for the "Smooth Flying" game environment I created in the Blender Game Engine. A strong influence was an image by Jason Stokes for Arena Net/Guild Wars called "Land Fishing" (Spectrum 15 - page 127). This depicted a rickerty wooden structure atop a rocky outcrop which was being used to 'fish' for some sort of animal on the ground. I loved the image and the concept ... well not the idea of living in such a place myself obviously.
