Hello and welcome to my first Steemit post for April. Here we have the second concept illustration for the DCL University. 

If you haven't heard, [Decentraland](https://decentraland.org/) will be a massive Virtual reality world built on The Ethereum blockchain. Imagine putting on your VR gear and jacking in to the Metaverse much like in Ready Player One.

Please see my original interior concept post for more DCL University details - [HERE](https://steemit.com/art/@jameshsmitharts/decentraland-university-concept-art-the-observatory)

Now that I have designed the observatory, a 3D modeller can create the virtual one for DCL :)

<h1>Right, let's get straight to the design process. From concept sketch to Vector art -</h1>

**I hope you found this one interesting and informative. I'm really looking forward to seeing my work come to life in VR. I'll have to get an HTC Vive at some stage :)**

I don't have any DCL concept art lined up at the moment. I will most likely do some original Steemit art before the next DCL job comes through. Stay tuned!
