Game Illustration WIP

An illustration for my 3d sidescroller game.
It still needs a lot more work, cuz I believe this illustration is going to have the title on it, so I need some title space. Not to mention, I'm going to remove the dood in the middle. But I actually like having a character in the middle. :(

1st iteration looked like this:

3D sidescroller level Tutorial Map!

 

I made my setting in somewhat a cave like location. Ofcourse why is there moving platforms in a cave? ...You tell ME and Ill let ya know if you got it. ;)

Below this point are 3 illustrations that show how to interact the physics obstacles.

And that is all for this part!

Boss Character Drawing!

Meet my Level Boss Character, Tzarr!

Latast WIP pics of sniper chick

Not no way, no how near done. But this was just to show off my color scheme and design for the texturing process. Still needs more modeling! ALOT more. And shes only asian FOR NOW. I tried to fix her face last minute, and it turned asian on me.

More coming!

3D for Games Semester Project!

 

Here is my character that I will be spending the semester on!

 

I've redesigned her since then, and still trying to add interesting details onto her body. This is still not the finished concept, but getting there!

Modeling is fun! Especially when it starts to become like a puzzle, and you have to figure out how to reach your goal. (ex. just the right curve in the model)

Below are some of my WIP screenshots of the character now. Still need to model her face, and her armor ofcourse. But coming along nicely!

More to come!

Winter.... and Break!

Things I wanna do (right now): Do more sketches. Start drawing up designs for a small game I came up with. Read more of the Game Design book. Draw megaman, for a megaman book art request. Animate in CS3's photoshop. Play more Assassins Creed (somehow).

...And, as I segway into another topic:

And this book so far has been giving me understanding about what it is that I enjoy so much about games, "A Theory of Fun for Game Design"

3D updates will come next month, because I poorly transferred any screenshots I had of my work with me.

I most likely will add my game board documentations to my Game Portfolio Blog!
