Chapter Logo's

 

Thought I would upload these I had a lot of fun doodling them out. While I was putting my book together I felt like the intro pages were missing something, they looked a little bland as a double page spread of writing. So I decided to make these little logo's, each one is supposed to be a miniature representation of each of the races. The elven one for example features skulls, wood and crystals and not a lot of metal, very much like the design of the elves. Nothing spectacular but I thought I may as well upload them. Few more days left of games proposal work and then I can start cracking on with my heroes of the storm contest piece, so stay tuned for that. Till next time!

The End

 

So the project I have been blogging about for the past eight months or so now is finally finished! The books all wrapped up and ready to be sent off to be printed. It only feels like yesterday when I thought I had plenty of time and the project started out as a sci-fi wildstar inspired world. Oh how things changed!

 

Above you can see the very last three character designs I created and they are up there with my nord characters with how pleased I am with them, especially the bird man, I had so much fun designing him. with these three I really tried to push the idea of them being different branches of a cult yet still retaining similar visual cues. These were in the form of the colour palette, chains and the inclusion of bits of wood, with the symbol of Odin crudely painted onto them. I hope the idea comes across to you guys. Till next time!

Pushing On!

 

 

Vey close to the end of this project now! As you can see from above I'm mainly adding polish, colour and finishing up final pieces for the book, I still feel no where near ready to hand in this project but then again I never do with my work, always room to improve!

 

The above pictures are from left to right a nord baron, huntsman, guardsman and shield maiden. They are pretty much a culmination of everything I have learned over this year, anatomy, colouring my pieces and getting away from line art into fully rendered greyscale paintings. I still have a lot to learn but I am getting to a stage where I feel like I am a lot more comfortable with my work. I hope you guys have enjoyed seeing me grow as much as I have enjoyed pushing myself. Till next time!
