| Initial idea - the room would consist of lots of light, green and yellow to give the impression of vitality |

| Plant life |

| Native American dream catcher inspired |
East/West blend focusing on china's Temple of Heaven and Native American patterns
Floor tiles - dream catcher pattern also to reflect scales as well as perhaps roots relating to the Earth/natural theme *
 |
| Wyvern mural designs based on Native American animal paintings and Japanese Mon symbols |
I made the level with my characters Sparrow and Kunic in mind, thus made the temple his shrine
Earth also represents the body/heart in some cultures so I kept that in mind to create more temples based on other elements and body parts
The three legged crow represents the Sun in Chinese mythology and guidance in Shinto as a messanger from heaven
I liked the use of shapes/patterns and the colours in their prints, the colours are rich and earthy but stand out. Many cave/wall paintings are a reddish paint - the colour may add to emphasise age in the level
* The idea was to have different temples reflect a dragon/wyvern like characteristic, the tiled floor of the Earth temple for example, Earth being the body, would represent the scales, the lack of openings and the pillars to in a way stand as the chest/ribcage.
