can't spend to much time reviewing all the new things but like the 1st img & i feel like that belly/baseball dive hurts a lot even to look at sometimes, every-time i see it i say to myself that must hurt. :) i wouldn't know what to do for that atm but worth mentioning from an outsiders perspective. Cool to see it coming…
Before sending in enviro art I've cleaned up the materials. Using material instances it is possible to basically use inheritance but for materials. So I have a few hierarchies so that I can easily tweak value, color, and other parameters for various groups. For instance, I have all enemies sharing a common material, all…
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…
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,…
@jStins thank you! I'll add these notes to my todo, completely agree with all of it. In same boat with the font too, I want something that is a little bold and readable but also has an old world quality to it, but kind of rough and primitive, not ornate. I am gonna finish the last couple illustrations first but then will…
Okay, finally making some headway with modular environment kit. Much indecision because this is my area of least experience, hence posting about it alot, lol. Workflow will be to only use maya to make the parts, but assemble them as Packed level instance in unreal. This means I got to do the snapping in unreal which I…
Few notes on harpy progress: https://youtu.be/0aH5A_DNM7c Last time I fought harpies in a game I think was dragons dogma, whenever that came out, like 2010 or something. I was very excited about them - dunno why just seemed like a super cool enemy to fight. Unfortunately they were just a fodder enemy in that game and not…
@teodar23 all valid concerns, but this is my third game. This was winner from several prototypes I did because this project is more aligned with my favorite disciplines in game dev. Also bear in mind, I've put about 3 weeks of work into this so far. @sacboi It is a lot of work but I enjoy it.
Okay finished this one and it took longer than all the others combined. had to come up with a new workflow and style. for this one i wanted to hand paint a lot with the gorgon character - e.g. not relying on just overpainting some photobashed stuff as much. But then it becoems a problem if I cannot paint to same quality as…
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…
