Reconsider Artistic Approach

After going through a few of the past examples. I was considering if the absolute realism of the environment is needed for this experiment. In terms of realistic environment, I thought it should be related more to the creature than to the viewers, spore creature tend to have that cartoonist theme to them, and to put them in a realistic environment will be contradictory.

Therefore, I am reconsidering my artistic approach to the environment and perhaps creating a more natural, outdoor, simplistic habitat with a video game feel in a fantasy genre as oppose to a photo realistic environment like crysis with buildings and more complex constructs. I believe environment with buildings is a more human environment than the creatures environment.

This approach could also be a lesser load on the polygon count.
