UC'09 "END GAME" | ThomasVeil | 2D
polycounter lvl 8
Hey, so my team gave up on finishing the 3D part. There were some job-deadlines cutting our time too short.
I'm moving all my concepts over to the 2D contest - and hope that I'll have time to finish the whole thing. The good part of the mess is, that I've made some detailed studies, that might help the 2D result.
Plus now I have more freedom to change and add things, since I don't have to think anymore if one can build it in 3D.
The topic idea is that a nice medieval town is attacked by Dig-Dug-Style robots, that dig the earth away under the town. Leading to its slow demise.
Done!

First started with quick idea sketches:
From that I went to gather ideas for shapes of the landscape and so on:
We decided on a piece - but we wanted to get rid of the landscape, to safe texture space. I might bring it back later, as now it woule not be a problem anymore.
After the decision I did 2 somewhat different pencil drawings:
Big version of Overview01
Big version of Overview02
Again we decided which design to take. I went on with
...reference callouts...
overview02_ref big size
...and detail sketches:
landscape_shards01 big size
church01 big size
...and a 3D blockout:
And I did the first color blockout.
Big version of Overview01
The last thing I did was the closeup of the drill:
drill02 bigger size
So there I am ... harsh comments and critique are totally asked for
It looks great so far, didn't expect anything else.
Go and kick some ass!
Especially as killingpeople says: the bottom many people don't get on the first look. I have to clarify that - maybe someone has ideas about it.
I'm also really shocked about the lighting - good thing I had some time to lean back and get a fresh look on it. I'll make it better next time
Well, sleep is overrated anyways
I think also having the drill in the foreground is a good idea, it helps understanding what's going on under the castle.
Good job!
One day more though would have been sweet.
Anyways - note to self: Keep the final resolution in mind. I spent way too much time on things no one can see. Would have rather used it on other stuff.
...time to go sleep.

Obviously the changes are not for the contest, just for myself.
