Fantasy Weapon Concepts

I realized that my portfolio was lacking any sort of prop/weapon design stuff so I decided to create some. These are fantasy weapons possibly for my Papercraft game. I wasn't sure which background popped the designs best, so I included two of them.

Portfolio Revamp and some new stuff

Please go check out my new Portfolio. I cleaned up some stuff, trimmed the fat, and organized it so it's a bit more presentable. I've also added some new stuff that I forgot or was too busy to make a post for. I recently moved up to Seattle and that kept me kinda busy for a week or two.

Down below is some new stuff I've been working on. I think I'm really starting to hit my stride with this art style. At the very least I'm really having fun with it.

This is an overworld map that is post-inspired by a project my brother worked on for his class. I wasn't a part of the project at all, but I really liked the idea and felt compelled to express my own vision of what it could have been.

Down here are some of the character/unit types that would be in the game. The Runts are the slinger units, or salesman. They stand on corners and sell the candy. The Nerds would invent new more valuable candy to sell. The DumDums/Bullies are used to take over enemy territory, you send them to corners or streets you don't control to conquer them. Lastly the Peeps are used to boost sales numbers; send them to a territory you control and the value of the candy being sold will double.

Still working on my Papercraft idea, these are some of the bigger monster types you might fight. Silhouette art is some of my favorite stuff to do, so these are very enjoyable to make. This is more focused on creature rather than character.

Papercraft Fantasy Creatures

There be dragons

Papercraft Fantasy Villains!

These are the villains of the game. They were especially fun to make because of all the pointy triangle shapes. Their designs were made to mirror the original three characters I made; The Rogue, Knight, and Mage,  whom the player controls.

Papercraft Fantasy again

A King and Princess to maybe drive the story

More Papercraft Fantasy

These are some of the possible NPC's the player might interact with.

It's a Papercraft Fantasy

Take the Three pinnacle archetype fantasy characters, give them a highly stylized 2D paper cutout look, and then dump them into a 3D side-scrolling environment and what do you get?

Papercraft Fantasy

a side-scrolling RPG adventure.

Character Concepts by yours truly

Some Vis Dev portfolio stuff

Here are some of my Visual Development pieces I did about a month ago when I started sending out Job resumes to some animation studios for vis dev / concept positions. As you can see there is a major emphasis on character design, as that is my main interest.

There's been a lack of posts recently on my blog because I'm currently writing a story, outline and script, for a graphic novel I'm starting. 

Inky Sketch Dump

Squids Unite! Fun with inks...

Big Sketch Dump - Gestures

So i haven't posted in the last couple weeks because I've been working on some portfolio work that I'm not sure I can show yet.

So here's a bunch of gestures and figure drawings I've been collecting. They're only a small fraction of what I've been doing lately.

the drawings range from 30sec to 2min each
