Honours

As I mentioned in my previous post, I have started my uni honours now! This project is a year long and is worth pretty much a third of my overall grade so I can't balls this up. My proposal is to create my own IP, specifically on mmo. Above you can see some very rough initial sketches of my first race, the " nain" ,trying to get a humanoid/lion look going with these guys, so far getting some pretty good results. I will be posting a lot of this over the next few months so you will get to see the evolution of this project. Till next time. 

Getting Frustrated!

So it's been a while........I do apologise been a bit busy lately (no alcohol was involved in this distraction...shifty eyes). So last Monday I started back at uni and I got to start planing my honours project, more on that in another post, so to prepare myself I thought I would do a little character design study. I have a always loved the look and feel of the British Napoleonic uniforms so I thought why not create a character based on it!? The actual line work for this piece was done weeks ago, it's only just now that I have gotten around to actually applying paint on it. This might get finished but at the moment my uni work is going to take priority over any personal work. Till next time.

P.S: The title is because his face has been causing me no end of problems! 

Into The Fires Of Mount Doom!

Another environment study for you guys today. This one is obviously looking at a much warmer colour palette to the last one, again though it's only a small little snippet of an environment, still not ready to do a full landscape. This one was 1024 x 1024 though compared to the last ones 512 x 512, so I am getting there. The painting itself came together pretty well, the smoke was the only thing that really give me any issues, so overall I am pretty happy with how it turned out. Till next time.

A little tease

These are far from finished but I thought I would throw them up here as a little taste of what's to come. I don't usually design weapons, so I thought I would take a break from the character design and started doodling these today (although I do have an idea for a dranei shaman in my head ;)). I was trying to keep a loose theme to all three of the weapons, not sure it really shows though. Passing these over to a friend when they are done because he wants to model them in maya, so you never know, you might see these fully built and textured! Shocking I know. Till next time.

I am alive!

Sorry the blogg has been a bit dead recently, what with being at home for a week and then a few of my house mates moving in, I have been a little preoccupied. So today I decided to kick myself in the backside and  crack back on with some commission work, above you can see the waves/water asset, which is done, well unless the client wants something changing and you can also see the background to the game. Struggling with the background a little but it's slowly coming together. Till next time (I promise next time wont be two weeks!)
