Stylized Environment Concept Art

I illustrated this environment concept art as part of my personal work.
Process:
First, I imagined a world and sketched it where each house has its terrain. However, I realized in the coloring stages that you cannot get anywhere with a car. Therefore, I added a plane which felt better for the house to be alone within a large forest. The house was the hero. Hence, I felt this layout made it pop more.
Inspiration:
I was influenced by minimalistic illustration, a spark from old-school Looney Toons, and Disney concept art.
Stylized cave environment

Created this stylized cave environment concept art using photoshop. I blocked the composition and layout using grayscale and silhouettes, then overlay colors and finished adding lights using color dodge.
