CREATURE SKETCH

I was reading a Article in the 3DArtist magazine on Ben Mauro. Inspired and browsed his twitter account on my phone and saw his amazing orangutan study.

WIP Concept Game Characters.

GAME DESIGN CONCEPT

MINIONS of

Thank you and I hope you like this. This project is just one of the many ideas that i want to bring to life. I have always loved 2d platform games and hope that one day I could entertain future generations and inspire would-be Game Designers and concept artists.

Sketching and Color Test

 So my comic book style is coming together nicely, Now i just have the colours to figure out. 

The problem is once I scan it in and adjust the levels I lose some of the detail and on top of that the grain muddies the image. Once i find a good alternative or process to assure a desirable outcome.

Scanned Lines

Terrible colors, not happy with this but gives me something to think about and improve upon.

Sketching Practice

Been doing a lot of traditional sketching so I haven't been able to post anything, these images are from my phone so the quality is not that great.

 I am however happy with the illustrations themselves which will be the basis of my comic book illustration style. 

If all goes well and I would be able to work on this personal project. I will have to adjust my patroen page to help my work towards funding this project as well as offer up some exclusives.

Character Exploration & Color Test - COMIC BOOK

SPOILER ALERT!!!

 This is definitely premature, but I Though it's best to show my characters for the comic book project that I am working on. At present I am still piecing together the story and plot. Most times its best to work the story first, then the characters, but in this case I kinda knew what my characters looked like and their nuances. Personality is very important to me when designing a character, you need to understand them and have a piece of yourself in whatever you make or create in this case I will just give a brief summary which at this moment in development is not set in stone.

 Helena is the oldest of the two sisters she is refined and elegant, proper in a sense of demeanor. The girls are daughters of an Emperor so Helena takes her role as being a member of a high honor to her world.

On the other hand Ria has a sense of indifference to her role. Being of noble or high honor she's treated differently, she is needed to be refined and proper of which she is not. She is quite the opposite.

(That would be all for now. But I will mention a bit about the image below.)

Through the course of the story, characters evolve and change. Of which I have given everyone a huge spoiler regarding the hair, which will explain in my comic/GN.

These roughs are really bad, but it's good to show processes... Even if it's embarrassing. 

The character's appearance is subject to change and alteration, the images portrayed here are preliminary images and do not reflect the characters to their entirety.

Color Study

I did a quick color study, rules where no color picking and just paint what I see. Aim of this was to gain a good sense of color without relying on sampling but observing.
