Alien Chrachter Design sheet

Last school period I worked on a character design that needed to be made on a several design specification. In the sheet the progress of the beginning to the final illustration can be seen. The process of making and learning from it was very resourceful.

The assignment was made in Sketchbook Pro 6 for the line-art and Photoshop for the rendering.

Concept Illustration

Final Model in Zbrush

The last weeks I've made this model for the 3D lessons. The idea was to design a character and work it out to a 3D model which is identical to the concept illustration. The low poly base was made in Maya while the sculpting is done in Zbrush.

Balloon in the Sky

This environment was made after the concepts for a game pitch I did earlier last month. The castle and the sky where taken form a earlier concept, but rendered to a more detailed and fitting scene.

Level design sketches

These concept sketches where made for a project where I as part of a team, needed to make sketches of the mood and design for a 2D adventure game. The story was about a girl who searches for her identity. As the person who needed to design the mood for the game I focused of the different levels we had in mind. The visuals where used during the pitch that I gave last Friday.

It's quite icy in here...

Seminar Dynamic Sketching

The last three weeks I followed a seminar Dynamic Sketching. The seminar was given in the first weeks of the second semester of the second year @ HKU.  I really enjoyed these weeks by drawing a lot of thing which where based to improve the fundamentals of drawing. The above image is a overview of some of the pile of work that I've done.

Other than that, here's also the sketches I've done the last weeks:

The rest will be posted soon... ;)

I Feel the POWER!

Did this illustration somewhere very quick in the morning... Can you feel the power? :P

Mario and Luigi sketches

These two where done in the first week of the vacation. The two illustrations where done as a practice with styles and coloring.

The Front Gate...

The Front Gate is a illustration that's made for a lesson in ConceptArt, where the subject was to make a illustration of a dark fantasy theme.

Dark Mage refined sketch

For the lesson ConceptArt I needed to make a whole set of thumbnails for a character in a dark fantasy style. The above sketch is a more refined version the one in the set.

Mega Man Legends x Blade & Soul

This mashup is made for a school assignment to mix two different games. The character from Mega Man Legends is done in the style of the MMORPG Blade & Soul.

Speedpaints Homework!

These speed paints where made for homework, each of them is made under 30 minutes.

Kamen Rider speedpaint

Kamen Rider was one of the shows that I watched when I was still an innocent kid ;) It inspired me to do a speedpaint of this show. A photo was used as a reference, time spend on it 1 ~ 1,5 hour.

Some simple speedpaints

Two speedpaints that where made as two paintings in one screen, it was a good practice to switch between two, when making them.

Hero Animal Squad concepts

During the first project of the second year @ the HKU, we got a project to develop a concept for a tablet game. The game itself became a runner game with animal super heroes.

Warplane sketch

This weekend I decided to draw some kind of vehicle, it turned into a deformation of a warplane. The inspiration for this illustration came from WOII warplanes and some details found on sport cars.

Artwork ISA first year @ HKU

These designs where part of a series and made for the ISA project which I did during my first year. It was a mainly based to practice rendering of artwork. The designs where all styled to a somewhat sci-fi based setting that lives of the green energy that all the designs contain.

I don't know what I should do for my coming ISA this year... hmmm ;)

The cyclops in the city

Factory @ sea

Retro Shooter game impression sketch

In the first Semester I had a lesson called "Thinking of Art", in this lesson it was the goal to make a illustration of a game bounded by rules and a target group. My task was to create a illustration that would portray a game set within those goals. And a certain artstyle, the style that I got to work with was Geometric shapes. The game was based upon the shooter games like Ikaruga, Raiden, DoDonPachi and Space Invaders.

Some vehicle sketch

Last week I made this sketch while watching TV, so I just sketched without thinking what the end result would be.

Sketching a Wha.... uhm Submarine

Just a quick sketch I've made this evening. The idea was to sketch a submarine, but at some moment I decided to add some smirking/evil looking face one the submarine, just like those old fighter planes had. At the end I didn't wanted just a grayscale sketch, So I decided to tone it a bit to give it some extra touch.

Seminar: Character Design @ HKU

This work is made during the Seminar Character Design at the HKU. The first weeks of the new year opened with a three week long seminar session, I really enjoyed the seminar and the things I've made during these weeks.
