When coming up with ideas for creating an interesting door, I looked at already-existing doors for inspiration:
A basic wooden door
A church door
A sci-fi door
A cartoon/cel-shaded door
While making a conventional door with a twist would be ideal for the task, it seems far too easy and simple. Since I wanted to set myself a challenge, I came up with something very unique to try:
I had the idea of creating a door that could be used in a world of food or sweets, similar to the classic 'Hansel and Gretal' fairy-tale. The door itself would be a Jammie Dodger biscuit, while lollipops would sit on plinths on both sides of the door. The archway would be a spiralling Marshmallow and the step a marshmallow wafer.
This is a very ambitious project I'm attempting, but I believe that, if I can get it right, it will look fantastic.
I also gave the door a very rough colour scheme, as seen above. Upon finishing this, however, I felt that the finished product might look a little bland, so I thought of adding another twist to the piece. I conceptualised the same door, but abandoned and creepy. I thought by taking away some of the brightness and joy from the door and adding things like Happy Faces moulding out of the wall like lost souls would give it that extra edge I felt it needed. All I needed now was a neater image of the biscuit, etc. and I'd be good to start modelling!
