Project 1b

Mini Viz Dev Project 1b

Due December 28th

Members: Jose, Izzy, Alvyn

goal:
Take the idea you had in mind and push it even further, after christmas, we'll be doing some quick black and white studies of our characters, but still flesh out your idea and make sure it's unique. Try to think about what game they would be in, the world they would live in. Obviously Alvyn's world has magic involved, so you can push that. More shape variation, more costume variation.
One thing we could try is grabbing your favorite character that you've done so far, and print out/photocopy 3 versions of him very light, then draw ontop of that to add new things to him. (Or just use a lightbox)

Due Next Next Friday (Dec 28th):
-More developed thumbnails of the character, at least 2-3 more developed sketches.

Friday Project 1

So my story is basically about the huntmsan the King sends into the forest to find out about the crazy wildman. I thought maybe the huntsman could be from different parts of the world, and then I thought mongolia and how they are great hunters and that's basically incorporated into their lifestyle. So my hunters are basically nomads that travelled to the king's city, and offered their services as freelancing assassins, basically..

The hunter I had in mind that attracted me was one that had a bit of a wild-side to them, they live off the land and become one with nature when they are going out into the wilderness. They use animal parts, animals (pet eagles not drawn yet) and other things to help them finish their goal. The one I particular idea I'd like to expand upon is the concept of a wild-woman. But that's still in early stages.

FF14 artwork

Heya everyone!

I found a website that has concept artwork from FF14. There are some really nice building and environment designs. The website actually is devoted to concept art in video games also in-case anyone is interested.
