Island concepts

Something of a different style to what i normally do. I've been really interested in old styled platformer games recently (like Crash Bandicoot, Banjo Kazooie, Jak and Daxter etc) and decided to try my hand at that visual style - giving enough information to make it a strong concept, while still leaving room for interpretation by the viewer.

New concept and studies!

Recent environment concept piece. This idea has been in my head for a while - like my ancient castle image a few posts back. While the outcome is not entirely how i see it in my head, i just felt i needed to get the main idea down in some visual form. "The concept is that it's an old village which is uninhabited. Travellers who pass through the village stay there for a short time but are freightened off by stange events which occur. It is said that the land is cursed and haunted by the dead"






Some head studies based off the Loomis text books.

Steampunk Robot Girl

Character concept I did today of a steampunk themed robot girl.

Final Piece...

...for now

Castle Ruins - WIP

Scene i'm currently working on. Really a detailed study for understanding and applying lighting theory. Ive worked to try and create a good balance in lighting between the forground and background information. The colour palette is inspired by Stone Tower temple from Majoras Mask.

Market town - take two

The last few weeks i've been looking over old portfolio work. I've chosen some pieces which i feel are still quite strong but are missing something in terms of the concept or technique. I chose one of my more successful environment paintings and decided to re-work it into more of a narrative concept piece. The end result is much stronger. Its good to be cautious when re visiting old work. Most of the time its much better to scrap it and start a fresh piece.

Blackbeard

Added the final touchups on my Blackbeard character concept. The overall style is very much inspired by Blizzards character proportions and over the top weapons and accessories.

Environment concept pieces

Some environment concept art pieces i've completed recently.

Beware of the Four Horsemen

Final Four Horsemen designs rendered up using Illustrator and Inkscape.

Four Horsemen of the Apocolypse

Some concept designs from my Incubator project. Its to design the four horsemen in a cutesy chibi kind of style. Really challenging project, but heaps of fun!
Hopefully will finalise the details and start rendering in illustrator soon!

Also below is an abandoned concept as the shape was getting too complicated, but i reckon i'll finish it up anyway for fun.
