Busy with shirts and job stuff...

Here's a new painting I forgot to post that presently is in UnitE Gallery in Denver, CO.

 Drawing

Here's a master study of a painting from Brother Bear, I stopped after 2hrs of work, it was definitely tough trying to match colors and brush strokes but I'm happy with it.

Indian Speed-painting Study

Here's a painting study of an Indian girl I did after a long break from digital work. First I laid down a gradient and drew a girl sitting in front of the sun from some reference I found. Second was my initial block-in stage trying to match colors from a sunset. I used a lot of warm colors and neutral oranges and yellows. Then just refined and softened up edges until I didn't need the lines anymore.

Chromogenesis Environments

The first round of Environment planning and painting for my Chromogenesis game design. From Sharpe thumbnails to 20min speed paints and final paintings... Next up my new shirt designs, as soon as I can find somewhere to print my halftones designs on some clear vellum.

Player Map

Player map for Autonomous City in Chromogenesis. I wanted it to be more like a futuristic scroll the player would open and use like a touch screen, highlighting points of interests with a finger. The next step is to design the underground map area and interior maps for when the player enters a dungeon or a building.

Onto the Villains

Here's the first two Villains I designed for Chromogenesis. First is the main Antagonist of the story Anance (Latin for Control, Control over fate.) She needs color to survive, she can't manipulate it but rather just takes it all for herself. In the game she is the most de-saturated (besides her throne room).

Variations of Make-up Designs

Two other costume designs before coming up with the one I picked to use.

Silhouette Studies

Second Villain is Stain, another color manipulator but for own selfish purposes. He uses a cybernetic arm to take color to become more powerful. He stores it into his tattoo. (The more powerful he is the more colorful  his tattoo.)

Chromogenesis Heroes

Here's the first 3 heroes I did for my Chromogenesis story. The first one is the main character Hue, who has the power to manipulate color using a futuristic airbrush called a Chromograff. I did some call-outs for it and of a mask he would wear while painting.

Chromograff

The next two heroes are supporting characters that would be playable in my game. They are Amp & Bass and are twins that manipulate sound. One of my first digital paintings I ever did was of Amp, but it took me forever and is pretty horrible, but hey it was my first time painting in Photoshop. It's a crazy improvement in my digital skills since then, so I figured that would be worth it to see.
