Art of Red Scanlon

Red Scanlon is our arcade bullet hell shooter that we made for the GiantROM game jam. It's up and playable here. The current build was made in 9 days by Myself and my brother Lucas who did the coding. Music by TheHamsterAlliance.

Here's some of the art for the game.

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.

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.

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.

Gadget Punk Update - Boss Enemies

Using my hatred for insects as inspiration, I decided to make them the enemies in the game but as robots. I designed each boss after a specific bug (except the snail). 

I decided to use a different technique; Blue Pencil, Prismacolor Markers, Prismacolor Watercolor Pencils.

Gadget Punk Character Concept

 Gadget Punk is the scrappy little robot who is the star of his own rogue-like sidescrolling adventure game!

Design inspiration came from small scraps and tools you can find around a mechanic's shop or in a toolbox.
