Tuesday speedy

Heya!
I forgot to put this up yesterday! It was my Tuesday lunchtime and afterwork speedy! Guh.



And the initial image:



Still playing Halo Reach. Just did a big vehicle section - one of the few game series where I actually enjoy those sections :)
Bye for now!

Off for more Halo!!

RUN/CHARGE!!

New pic! Depending on whose point of view, it's either "RUN!!" or "CHARGE!!"



Made with help and suggestions from my wonderful co-worker Mihai at Crytek :)
My copy of Halo Reach arrived!! I plan on co-op with my sister, but FIRST I must experience it alone...
Cheers!

EDIT: Uploaded a newer version with suggestions from another coworker, Silver :)

Skull entrance - the happiest place on Earth!

Hi all! In an updating mood :) First pic was done in just over 45 minutes, playing around with shapes really.




The second image is a wanderer in a slightly ominous room. Am undecided - which is better, the darker or lighter?




Have had a splitting headache/migraine for 3 days straight, yet somehow it's prompted me to do more free time drawings. It makes no sense!!
Cheers!

Now off to play the Alan Wake DLC!
Cheers!

Another environment!

Hey all!
My quest for better environments continues! This here is something I would never usually draw, but is also the sort of thing an art director will ask for ;) (As mine did, as a free time task!). Definetely more work to be done, but it's definetely a start!



And the thumbs for your viewing pleasure ;)




NEXT: vehicles! ;D Any suggestions?

Dino man!

Hullo! More pics :) First is a sort of dino guy concept, and the various layers of clothing he has to wear to deal with the harsh landscape he wanders.




More environments at a small scale! A proper one coming in the next update, that's taken more than an hour ;D




In other news, I finally saw Toy Story 3, and absolutely loved it. Certain points made me wanna cry *sniff*. Pixar know how to pull on the heart strings :)
Tschuss!

More!

Ullo!
2 more environments drawn at this exact scale, around half hour or less on each.




I'm still playing through Alan Wake at the moment, it's pretty intense at times! The moment I see the wind pick up in the forest, I'm like ohhh noooo!! Can't stop collecting the coffee thermos, to the point that it almost ruins the game...
Bye for now!

Mix of stuff

Hi all!
My back is finally on the mend :) I can properly sit at a desk again (my life is complete!). Have been doing some 1 hour or less studies recently, here are 2 of them, drawn at that exact scale with no zooming in (I might just start posting them every few days now) Thanks to Dennis Chan for getting me on to this practice!



Also been in a black and white outline mood, so here's another environment, minus the humans who have caused the destruction! I'm thinking this here is about 2 months with no humans living there.



Aaaand a cleaner, who would have to come and clean up the mess (the area is highly toxic):


The game I'm working on (Crysis 2) released some of the multiplayer footage! Have a gander :)



Bye!

K NAUUUUUT

Ullo all!
Bit of a K NAUT fix going on at the moment, so some more sprites here:



And just a random drawing of K NAUT commanding soldiers in a battle (looks like it might be going wrong!). Maybe one day I'll colour it.



Other than that, am still healing. Who knew a broken back took so long to get over? ;) Catching up on lotsa games (Arkham Asylum, Puzzle Quest 2, Apollo Justice) as well as tv shows like Rome, Human Target, and anything else that looks interesting ;D
And orf to sunny Devon in England the end of this week to eat eat EAT!!! And sail ;) (maybe).
Cheers!

K NAUT sprites

Ullo all!
Sorry for the lack of updates, I went and broke my back ;D And bruised some ribs. It involved jumping off a cliff into water, and let's leave it at that, heheh.
Ok, so am back in a K NAUT mood again! Jesper drew me a pic of K NAUT to cheer me up, ad it got me inspired to do him as a sprite. It's been suggested he'd make a cool character for an iphone/XBOX Live game, so here's a mock up! I'd like to have a load of alternate sits, so the first version here is the initial suit, followed by an upgrade (there would be quite a few!).



I plan on having a whole sheet of his diff suits, weapons, enemies, etc. But this is the start, my first ever sprites :) Oh and an extra pic of K NAUT after a target:



For anyone who doesn't know K NAUT, here was a very basic animatic of him:



Cheers!

More Cthulhu!

Ullo!
More on my Cthulhu entry at CGHub! I went with the idea of a guy fishing, ooh he catches something and uh oh, it's Cthulhu ;D I need some opinions on the colour versions, whether I should keep the outline there or not...








So which version?
And here's the original idea I was gonna go with, - plain ol Cthulhu popping outta the ground, destroying a city, blah. Wanted it to be a little different.



Bai for now!

Cthulhu fhtagn

Ullo!
Am thinking of participating in the latest CGHub drawing jam, based on my fave elder god, Cthulhu! So I drew up some rough sketches here:




Deciding on which to go with, and then what to do with it ;D
Have a good weekend all!
