Final illustration

For the final illustration I decided to go back to traditional hand drawn style, I felt like with all the digital work I had done, I wanted to see the progression of my traditional work!

environment final

So here is the final shots for the environment piece that I worked on with Marchand Venter!

We ended up cutting scope quite a bit due to time, but I feel like we stayed true to the concept 

I ended up diving into substance designer to create the wall textures and the mud

We ended up taking a stylized approach, using larger shapes highlighted with flat color 

I ended up lighting the scene, and getting to understand how atmosphere and mood play into an image

Rocks

Here are some rocks I made and ported to UE4

The Thing

John Carpenter was the Director of The Thing. He's directed such iconic movies as Escape from New York, They Live, and Halloween to name a few. His use of blue and pink/orange lighting to illuminate scenes and show drama is incredible. In the end, Child's is most likely the surviving organism, due to him not being around during the final climax and accepting MacReady's drink offer so readily. Though if he was, he would have attacked him outright, unless he was waiting for him to sleep/die to assimilate him. Who can say?

For this assignment, I decided to repaint my old piece with color to show how the temperatures would work.

For this assignment I made a tiling texture from Zbrush to substance painter!

Beginning of Retrovania

So for this assignment, Marchand Venter and I have decided to team up to create a overall larger piece inspired by alternative future 1980's. Infusing a stylized middle class home setting with an open environment inspired by Castlevania. In this environment we aim to capture the feel of being immersed inside of a freshly bought game, and being melded with the excitement of adventure.

last assignment we had aimed to nail our aesthetic, a fun stylized look with flat colors and the feel of a technologically advanced setting of the eighties. For this environment assignment, when we created the concept for living room, we wanted things to be rooted in appropriate design and function. In this world, the tech while more advanced, did not effect the overall look of the time. While the game system may be able to project an entire digital world, the design functions are rooted in classic console and projector fabrications.

This will help to contrast the medieval and wartorn feel of Castlevania's world. With large bevels and stylized textures, the world will capture the feel of the old platformer while maintaining the overall fidelity of  the piece. We decided to take inspiration from from titles such as Firewatch, Fortnite, and the feel of Martin Teichmann's Sunrise.

Current Progress:

We are currently setting up a schedule and time frame for output of assets.

with this assignment I actually used it as an opportunity for improving my label work with a current job. So I set up a one point perspective piece!
