I spent most of the last year working on a student game called Fig as the lead concept artist. I'm finally getting the some of the work I did for it all organized and set up for presentation (as I have a graduating portfolio to prep).
These versions aren't the final files I'll be using for my portfolio, but as I wanted to post these up anyway. This blog needs more love!The watermark you see is for Broken Mind Games, which is the company we created Fig under.
Here are some of the characters:
Ben Franklin and Robo Ben

Guardian of Gravity, Serena

Guardian of Density, Old Faithful

Guardian of Electricity, Nimbus

Some robots!


And some of the assets for the levels, both mechanical and natural!

lalalaaaa

Holy crap. More than a year since my last post? I need to change that, and I will, once I get my files all set up again. Finally switched over to windows 7 and getting readjusted!
But that doesn't this will be an empty post! I'm finally working on Praesidium a bit more seriously, so here's the WIP for the first chapter cover!

Also finally "wrapped up" the year long student game project I was on. I'll post some of the concept art I did for that soon along with some other stuff. Really gonna aim for a weekly update schedule!
Thanks :>

Some RO stuff

Posted these to the LJ RO fanart community, so I figured it was a good time to update this place with them as well!

A messy WIP of a friend's High Wizard as a Warlock. Was playing with my own version of character colors!




My Lord Knight as a Rune Knight. Was trying to make my own version of the sprite!



A gift for a guildmate of his Champ and Scholar!



Something for a friend of his High Priest inspired by his kettle headgear wearing ways!

Sketches and sketches

Just some sketches I decided to scan up from this last quarter. Not much to say, just misc creatures, some sketches for my Mythology final, and some sketches having to do with the Praesidium remake.

I can never think of good title, why do I even try.

So, remember that WIP from the end of the last post? I wound up scrapping it fairly last minute to its due date and sketched out new poses for the characters. The original WIP was purely digital, this one started out with a pencil sketch. I really need to work on my control with a tablet, I think that's my biggest issue with working purely digital. Actually, I need to work on my control with a lot of things. I think it's part of why my original pencil sketches always look better than everything else. *adds to New Year's resolutions*
Decided to do some birthday art for a good friend of mine. The first was a failed attempt, wound up going with the second after I got fed up trying to fix the first. Both are pure digital, so starting pencil sketch on either. Need to do more thumbnailing and come up with more dynamic poses... Both were practice with cool colored lightning. Second could use more work with reflected light, though.






This was a gift I made for my dad. Decided to break out the sculpey I had laying around. Something fairly simple, an insence burner. I wonder if I made more of these if I could try selling them on Etsy or something. Hmmmm! (and that's a stick of Nag Champa, one of my favorite scents <3) style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI9Zl8qTod8x_qv1Oy_mvufLGOJkBEhXiymwEDjY6_g4fhPvH96dNbwHgXuCSI_qQwTVkRytCZurhad46u-q85UOCz44LKOrG30nnLgb2VpeVrXpKJNc9saUOZ5wPMaMgJ4Cp4iH7KSCD6/s320/PICT0117.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289408993307643986" border="0">
Working on another birthday gift for a different friend. He likes mech stuff, so I did some thumbnailing for it. I liked these 2 the best, went with the second. A bit more fun to be had with it. Still should get in the habit of more thumbnailing. Fo' sho'


WIP for it. Wound up just blowing up the thumb to a larger size, and "inking" and fixing it. I'm debating using a more cell shaded approach to the color? Make it look more like an anime screen shot or something.
Break is almost over *sob* Don't feel I was quite as productive as I should have been... ah well.

Ooof...

Long time no post, I know D:
Here's a few WIPs and misc class projects from this last quarter~ Also gonna start cross posting these on LJ. I gotta stop being so lazy about this sort of thing :D;

Anyway~ some traditional style stuff I did. All 3 are pastel and colored pencil. Acrylics used for the white highlights. My scanner kills my traditional work... tried to fix it a little in photoshop, but still... ugh D:

Scooby Doo and Shaggy ;D This doubles as an Xmas gift for my younger sister~


Ugh, this one was so large I had to scan it in 4 pieces, and couldn't mesh them all together that well >: This one was pretty last minute, as I wound up scrapping the original the day before it was due and doing this one c_c;

This one seems to get a bit of attention... I do plan to go back and add something more to the mountains. Blah, the scan just makes it all look so... dirty D:


A silly self portrait done for my computer painting class...

And the WIP for my computer painting final. Just wanted to do something somewhat simple, since I have a lot of work to do. Speaking of which, time to get back to it! D:
