worked on logo for store. I built this in maya, lol. I use maya so much and image editors so little, I just found it easier to do it in maya. I'll likely replace the gorgon silhouette once I update that model. I think the hair could look better. It's a small detail but I think the marketing art is worth getting just…
yeah that is something to think about that i hadn't got to yet. His silhouette should work well during his common locomotion and attack animations, and also communicate how he will move/attack. I hadn't got that deep in the character, more just thinking about art style in general, but I should probably back up and maybe do…
Okay finished an experiment to go for more stylization with the characters. I built a new model for the main hero character. This time I only did basic low poly modeling and just flat colors for materials. Just push and pull vertices in maya, no sculpting or complicated workflow. The minotaur model is the original sculpt…
Okay, no update on this project for a minute because been working on an update for an older game and it takes a lot longer than I hoped. But its nearly complete so I have been returning to this. I have been working on scheduling more than anything. After preproduction and then actually doing production task for awhile,…
These are going so quick I added some extra characters. The male centaur is extra, figured i could make a variation pretty quick once I had the horse base mesh to go from. A prehistoric red deer vibe for him. The females face feels a little off, but doing faces takes as much time and energy as the entire rest of the thing,…
Working on design for a minotaur character. This is also part of ongoing general art design work. I want to try and get character iteration time down by like 50% so I need to look at some ways to get away from realism. The struggle is is that realism is pretty much the only style I ever enjoyed. The minotaur will be a boss…
tried to finish up the persian temple scene and here was the result: it's certainly something I can use, but I don't think it's right for a trailer. it's okay but I don't think it's that captivating. I think there is some artistic things to fix up like balance of contrast and detail, but even besides that, I think the…
okay got most of the persians major animations a first pass. Feeling pretty iffy about the timing of the melee attack. It seems to go a little too fast, but if I slow it down like 10-20% then it feels sluggish to me. Perhaps I ought to keep same length of time, but hold the extreme poses for a couple more frames so then…
