ReplyDeleteYou are in a strong position to move into the 3D world with the working out that you have done.
I think you need to finalise how you are going to resolve you art direction in regards to texturing and lighting. The shapes that you are using are ripe for an animated world and would benefit from a stylised graphical treatment, think "A Cat In A Hat", or "Horton Hears a Who!"
I will look finalize the art direction within the provided concept using the suggested design links you have mentioned and look to design textures that will emphasis the 3D models structural details to form a cohesive final matte painting.
