End of year sketch dump 24

More sketches of Kaiga from a personal project. His signature shape will be the overlapping chevrons and triangles. This is suppose to create the feeling of dynamism and speed.

If you look at the ghosting lines on the armor, you can see that I'm trying out some sort of plasma wing design. I might revisit the idea in the future.

Some armor and cloak sketch studies in a medieval setting. Trying my hand at some non-sci fi genre drawings.

End of year sketch dump 21

Some character sketches based on references found online. One thing I looked for are some interesting repeating shapes such as the chain of circles or the scalloped fan.

Some Firefighter concepts for the We Exist game by Black Haze Studios. In the game you have some cultists dressed up as firefighters. I played around with a mixture of future tech, modern tech, and primal shapes.

Power armor sketch and a control center for the mech that the suit can plug into similar to what is seen in Evangelion. The power armor also functions in combat if the pilot ever ejects from the mech.

End of year sketch dump 1

Here are some sketches from my 2016 sketchbook to round out this year. 

More Armor Sketches

Some armor sketches using shapes and forms taken from a wasp. I like the idea of a compound eye in case one is taken out in combat. Having triangular shapes with dynamic curves gives it the feel that it can be aerodynamic. The springs added to the feet act as shock absorption when running at higher speed or landing after flight.

Standing Rock Altar

Tried a quick sketch of an altar/ritual center that you can find when traversing the campground. I based its designs of the Dolmens and Stone Henge as well as the art of stacking stones. It's shape and presence is creates a sense of mystery that compels Jack (main character) to dig deeper into the mysteries of the island.

Image released on facebook for campground scene. Main character Jack enters the campground in a shot reminiscent of Fall Out with a lone wanderer. A big part of the game is feeling the isolation in a man made world reclaimed by nature. Last of Us and Silent Hill have been a huge influence for this scene.

Speed paint of a reference for a campground with modified elements. The idea is to use debris and discarded trash as a commentary on mankind's waste affecting the environment.

Gas station practice using heavy mood lighting. Tried to give it a hazy dream-like quality.

More lighting practice, this time with water reflection.

Tried a tunnel alley look with a sulfurous yellow to create an unsettling feeling. Maybe at this part of the game the lights start flickering and shadows start appearing at the end of the tunnel.

Another quick 10-20 min sketch to practice chiaroscuro lighting effects. Did some quick photo textures just to give that grungy feel.
