research for genre project - part 2 - the environment

For my Game genre project, I have decided, in the end to draw a street at night, with the entrance to a bight club, with a neon sign above it. So I have done yet some more research into this, and came up with these images.

I like the idea of having the Martini glass incorporated in the sign, as it was part of my character drawing, and I like the combination of red and yellow, which really stands out in the dark background.

This is just another example of a sign I was looking at. I have chosen this one,  as I intended to do an upright one (the writing to be done vertically). But I think this would be way too big for my drawing, as this will not be the main focus point.

I have changed my mind about the final environment piece, as the initial idea was to draw the skewered view of the blocks, but I felt that that image was not containing a lot of detail, so instead I have chosen the one above, with a neon light above a "club door". I really like the dirty look of the street, with the garbage bins just lying around, and a lot of stuff coming out of them. I will however, set at night, and change it into a corner view, with the left part of the image, being a night club, while on the right, I will do a corner of this street.
