Not Much to Show

I was flipping back and forth between the two pictures I've been working on, didn't get much done on either of them and I don't really like what I did. :( Just one o' those days I guess.

What's-her-face has a red sweatshirt now, I have no experience drawing clothing and I think it shows, haha:



Started to test some different types of trees on the right side, meh:



I need to go stare at some amazing art and get inspired!

Working on It

Working on an alternate shot of the same scene as the previous Photoshop image I posted. I did some work on that one today too, but nothing worth posting.

I never even approached drawing landscapes until last term in my free time, it's definitely a challenge but I'm having fun. :)



Now off to write my Art History essay...yikes.

Environment Progress

Well, here's what I've been working on for a couple of hours. Not too sure if I like it so far or not. :-/

This scene is supposed to be when the main character is ported to the alternate Earth.

Obsessive Weekly: Atlantis

Alright, so this post has to do with my environment for concept art as well. I actually keep getting confused because I need to start conceptualizing ideas for my 3D environment in addition to the environment for concept art. :P

The animated film "Atlantis: The Lost Empire" has had a large impact on my passion for art, I'm obsessed with the character design and colors the creators used in the film. I'm mesmerized every time I watch it. In particular, I love the designs of the faces and hands of the characters, I don't really know why, but I love it.

This has to do with my environment because Nate and I started talking about the main setting that our character will be in for Project Null, which is the environment I've chosen to do for my assignment. We decided on a jungle-ish setting, just as long as it's really green because it has to be the opposite of the polluted metropolis that the main character originates from. It takes place in the not-so-near future so I might play around with creating some weird plants or something, haha.

So I just started sketching in Photoshop with some blue/green colors and I'll be posting some progress around 6 when my lab shift is done.

In the mean time, here are some shots from "Atlantis," tropical settings, and jungle settings:

Husk and Enemy Concepts

So I'm at the tail end of my lab shift for today and I thought I'd post some concept sketches that I've been working on for Project Null.

Husk:



This guy is supposed to be the main character's companion in Project Null.

Possible Enemy:



Now, obviously, these are both still in progress and I'm not even entirely sure if the Husk sketch goes with our original concept for him. I have two other sketches of him, but this is my favorite so far.

Project Null

So Nate and I are going to collaborate on a capstone project for our senior year. Currently being referred to as Project Null, it's going to be a platformer video game and we started to concept ideas this past summer.

I posted a link to the website I've been working on for Project Null in the section to the right. We'll be dumping concept art, updates, and hopefully a full description of our idea and the story line as the website and our work develops!

Oh, and because I'm using it for my web development class there will be strange things like "Lab 4 is over here!" and newsletter sign ups that don't really work. So don't be fooled!
