Okay so original plan for trailer was to just keyframe everything and have "fake" gameplay for the gameplay sequences. Simply because this would be fastest. But for some of the scenes it is going to be too difficult, so I am working on getting a couple animation blueprints setup. Then I can get the gameplay back in action…
Okay a few things worth noting. got most of the teaser trailer characters rigged and made just enough stepped animations to confirm the timing for the entire trailer. I won't share the actual trailer until after I've premiered it publicly. I'll show a few screenshots though. Keep in mind the environments are very…
thanks @NikhilR height will be like 2.5 ish meters but I may push it more. have to get model in game and see. I just start from "real" size and then exaggerate if it doesn't feel intimidating enough in the game. I always disliked in games when enemies are so enormous but the fact is, I want players to fear him so if making…
starting to block in the scenes that will be used for teaser. will take a lot to bring this to completion but I think the basic idea is there. just going to get a blockout with color done like this for each scene, then do rough pass at the teaser trailer, then start refining environments and characters together. not a lot…
A couple more characters. I think I figured out a few little tricks to make this style look a bit better. The furthest right character, the Nubian, was created a couple days ago. Then I did the two satyr characters, and I think they do look a bit more refined. There is a few subtle changes: 1. I added thin borders of color…
First steps of the harpy taken care of. A basic model with focus mostly just on silhouette, and a rig. Animations over the next few days, and I probably wont bother with textures and refining the model until after the level art is completed. It seems much easier to make decisions about the design of characters after having…
the next illustration will be a bunch of character concepts. a handful of characters from each region of the game. To begin I've done line work for the hero characters, the Amazons. Although this is being made more for marketing art, I am trying to make this actually be useful for concepts in the future once its time to…
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…
Had to take a break from the enviro stuff my hands were hurting from it, so I knocked out a bunch of short coding task and also made a few additional outfits for hero, in addition to improving the textures. Will be working on second pass at enemy character models and then animations in coming weeks before finishing out…
@Fabi_G wow! thank you so much. you ever have that feeling like you know you have forgotten something but aren't sure what it was? That's how I felt about these illustrations. Like they were close to what I wanted but not quite sure how to bring it all together. Your examples make them feel completed rather than abstract…
