Concept 3 - Valcor: Lost Souls Project



Here I'm going for the gothic gargoyle look for Valcor, but I'm still not sure about the style here... I'm still deciding whether Lost Souls should be realistic or cartoon in style. Still, I enjoyed experimenting with this. I'm still working on an animatic which runs through the opening scene. The movment looks ok, but will need to make it 24 frames per second rather than the 16 I was originaly going to have, to make the movement more fluent.

I'm still running through cloth tutorials for Maya.

Dealine to decide on Main character 14th April.

Valcor Concept - face



Concept for Valcor, face:

This is just a quick experiment, but there is something I like about it... just not sure on the style.

New Concept Art - Lost Souls Project Update

Over the last few weeks I've still been thinking about various styles. I'm still exploring line, colour and composition. Here is a new concept idea for the main character. I've also been working on a character model for the main character "valcor" I have some rough sketch work which I still need to scan and post. I'm undecided on the textures and I think he looks very plastic and robotic even though I was happy with it to begin with. So I'm going back to the drawingboard and this is one of my ideas focusing on a close up shot of the eyes.



Please feel free to comment on the work... I'm always looking for feedback. In other news, I've been working on a new website which is nearly there, just some of my best work to add. All in all, it's been a busy few weeks.

Fluids and Particles

I decided to work on a couple of tutorials on fluid and particles on Maya. Think the result looks ok.. just need to keep working on it... I'm thinking on using a mysterious looking ocean scene with the boat slowly moving to start off the lost souls story...

Environment Concept One: Lost Souls

I'm Still working through some rough ideas, but think this could be a possible environment for "Lost Souls" (Working Title)... I'm going to try and encorporate this into a short storyboard and look at some research on working with organic shapes. This does have the potential to look quite good in 3D, but I think it will be the texture that would make it look more interesting...

Abuse Campaign Poster

While coming up with character designs for Lost souls I thought this concept could also be suitable for a mental and physical abuse poster campaign.. Here are the two concepts I've come up with so far...

Concept One

Concept two

Charcater Concept One - Lost Souls

This is a rough idea for an animation/game called Lost Souls. I worked on a script and mini rough prototype for a game called Soul Swap which I'm thinking of joining together with this idea. I'm also currently looking at various tutorials on working with cloth in Maya to experiment with.
