Spiderman WOS DS concepts

cparrish

Thought I would share some of my sketchbook from when I was working on the game. These were mostly lunch sketches to get things sorted before starting on the models, I was up to 1 level a day for about 5 weeks including concept, modeling, lighting and textures.

Most of the environments in the finished game are mine with the downtown area being done by Paul Marshall and Kate Kuttler.

Those concepts are really awesome man. One day per level must have been stressful!

Tumerboy

Loving the trailer fella, looks really fun to play- shall be keeping an eye out for it

Concept work looks great too, nice solid style lots of mood and atmosphere to them Always been a sucker for inked work like this though

Just noticed the comment about the 1 level being made a day: how big was each level? It's pretty impressive to get that kind of workflow going

cparrish

Thanks for all the kind words guys. The 1 level a day thing was pretty tight but they wern't very big, essentially 1 or 2 of the rooms. I ended up needing some help near the end but it was pretty cool to be able to set the art direction for myself and carry them all the way through.

also another trailer went up, better image quality: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QkPOu7CzLw"]trailer[/ame]

Really cool stuff! It looks like it would be fun to play! I was up until 2am this morning playing it on the 360. I LOVE the shader that is used for the costume. It reminds me a toon render almost.

I like the sets more than the overall feel of gameplay and animation itself, congrats!

Japi

Is that possible to know how many tris you've used for the spiderman character in game ?

rollin

MoP

haha thats awesome, the spiderman's moves are almost like the marvel vs.street fighter rapid combo moves - i almost expect him to go BESERK MODE! - i like the fast paced action + web slinging = win - not so sure about the console/pc higher-end versions of WOS - just looks like the're gonna make it a fan's gallery whit the whole introduction of black cat and others - i mean, wtf is a girl in a furry catsuit (no offense to furries or catwoman) gonna do against an army of symbionts?
"i 'll use my wip to....errrr... swish them into submission...'

Fantastic work, I'll make sure to check this game when I buy a DS soon

soulstice

love the marker concepts! Great job!

Nice work, cparrish. The game looks great + Spidey's animation is fantastic!

Steve Schulze

One level per day? Thats insane. Some of those levels look vast when he's swinging through them. I can't begin to imagine how you could have knocked them out so fast. Care to give any tips on your DS environment workflow?

cparrish

Thanks guys.

Shepiro - Yeah I havnt been posting much for awhile anywhere. Mostly I'm spending my free art time working on educational and promoting internal art community stuff at work.

Japi - I dont know offhand i'd guesse 6-700

rollin - Because eating and drawing at the same time is easier than using a mouse and eating. And I can do it away from the office.

Jackablade - For the most part it was just reusing everything I could and automating as much as possible. This was only possible since the game was sidescrolling. Most of the areas that seem to have alot of depth were actually easier than many of the enclosed rooms since I could rely on more painted or simple distance models.
