A Quick Game Concept

Heres a quick game concept I did for a project I'm working on last week, The Forgotten. I can't wait to see the game made eventually!

Whitby Digital Painting

I was asked to create a room that could have been built in the tower that used to exist on top of Whitby Abbey. The idea behind it was that it was a room that Dracula had built for himself in the tower before it had collapsed, using artistic licence and altering the time periods slightly. I created this room with that in mind being some where that Dracula could bring his victims that wasn't his bedroom, because that was to be in his crypt, but just a general living space. Theres a lot of improvement needed on this piece and I struggled with the perspective, but I did something out of my comfort zone which I have never done before and I'm fairly happy with the results. Hopefully this is the beginning of me getting back into digital painting...

Final Whitby Assets

These are the final assets I created for the Whitby projects. There are a variation of objects that could be found across the map and placed to add interest to the locations.

Whitby Tower Model

These are several views showing the final model I created using Google Sketchup to help me with my lighting and perspective for my photoshop paint up. I chose to use the top image for my final paint up as it incorporated three of the walls and the floor and ceiling. The model isn't fantastically made but it's the first time I have used Sketchup to create complicated windows etc.

Gun Designs

Here are a few guns I was asked to design that would be left over from battle. I thought they could be scattered across the miss en scene or possibly be guns that you could use within the story.

Candelabra Designs

Here are some of my quick Candelabra designs, I wanted to incorporate the gothic feel along with the idea of the church and Dracula, so I made several designs that could be used within the final game.

Marsh Area Assets

Whitby Abbey is often surrounded by a marshy bog. In many of the photos and illustrations throughout the years you can see there is often a body of water depicted at one side of the Abbey and the surroundings also fill up with water depending on the weather. I decided to draw a few things that could be found around the marsh area of the Abbey to add interest and believability to the setting.

Grave Designs

These are some quick grave designs I created for the out skirts of the building. I created a variety of designs so that the group could pick if they wanted to use all or any of them.

Brief Change

So far the group I'm currently connecting for has been working towards a brief based around gothic terror. Now the entire brief has changed and they had the choice of three options. Out of the three the group has decided to go with Whitby so the next few days are going to be spent researching Dracula (as Carfax Abbey which is featured in Dracula is based on Whitby Abbey), the history of Whitby and the structure of the Abbey encompassing how it has decade over the years. Best get cracking then...

Laboratory Jars Concepts

Here are my initial sketches for the jars in the Laboratory. I created a variation of Jars in the form of thumbnails so that there was a variety of shapes and if needed there could just be liquid in some of them to save time modelling. For others I created more detailed designs so that the lab would be more interesting as the gamers explored it.

Strange Plants Concept Sketches

In the greenhouse it was specified that there would be an array of strange plants that had taken over, with broken pots and smashed glass. These are some of my initial drawings of the plants that could inhabit the green house.

Fountain Concept

Heres a quick fountain concept I created for the games collar project. It was created fairly quickly and although it looks a little bit unfinished in places I'm pretty happy with it.

Games Art Collaboration

Over the next few weeks I'm going to be working on a different project for games art. I'm going to be creating a range of concept art based around the theme of gothic terror from the asset list I have been given. I will be posting up my sketches and paintings so keep checking back for updates on my work!

Jimbobs Space Adventure: Background Object Development

Some ideas I came up with for the objects in the different areas Jimbob will travel through.

Jimbob Character Design

A sketchy turnaround for my new character that will feature in a game I'm currently working on.
