Lion Queen Re-Visited

Lion Queen

Processes from digital lineart to color (colour)

 Hello Everyone,
Firstly I am So Happy to see the amount of page views this little blog has gotten this year.

I am motivated to keep improving and as an example here is The revisited Design for the Lion Queen. I posted the rough illustration way back(image below) and was unhappy about how her face turned out, so after a continuous practice, trials and errors I have Managed to come up with a more desirable outcome.

Original illustration Circa: 21-06-2014

I realize the feline features are interesting elements but it didn't deliver on the beauty...so at the time i was doing this illustration I had an idea of having a series of illustrations of human/animal characters with story descriptions for the above:

 Lion Queen was a daughter of a traveling hunter who was cursed after her father killed an ancient African spirit "The Golden Lion."

THANK YOU!!!

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 

E'val

Concept

 HERO concept design and HUD Interface. Note: Lance uses blue energy for various moves as well as character moves. 

 Swamp Level concept (Boss battle)

Creatures eyes need to be blinded and they shoot lasers/energy beam for enraged move

 Creature Concept (Boss Battle) See-Monster. Note: Eyes move at same rate and looks at players orientation.

Quick Idle animation (Note: rough and short)

 Village Level concept (Mini Boss Battle)

These guys get common after you level up and pass these stages

 Dodge when he swings Meat Mallet and cut attack the rope on his back and drop his cauldron. Take too long and you will experience the mallet tornado attack. Note: not in scene but Grunts will be running at you.

 Creature Concept and layout Note: Character Jiggles when cauldron is removed.

Rough illustration of Various Grunts encountered in different levels. Note: Simple run and attack animation.

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.

Comic Book Test

Sketching

 scanned line

 rough tonal exploration

I have to say I like the expression. 

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.

Sorry for my absence with updating my blog. I have been hard at work with many projects as well as commissions. Recently I have been pushing myself to get better and work harder to where i was to be both as an artist plus as a person. Things are tough but being positive though some difficult shit really helps focus me on my goals.

Here are some prints that i sold at the LegionInk Artist Alley at the rAge Expo 2014.

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.
