Freelance Concepts (Unannounced Project)
Some rough concepts for a fun project that I've been collaborating on with a really awesome band of guys. I wanted to evoke and help envision what they described to me in a brief. I think the experience overall has been fantastic, I'm not great with depicting or creating animals - it's one of my weak points, but I think this is helping me grow and develop as a concept artist.
My final task will be to make a full size sheet of all characters.
What I can say is that this is for a 2D animation, which is an entirely new thing for me - I've tried not to go into too much detail as it would be a pain for the animators, but it's a learning curve for me at the end of the day. As these are still pretty rough, if any of the concepts are passed then I'll clean up once it's good to go. It's also a possibility these concepts may not pass, which I'm okay with - the experience is most important and fundamental as growing as an artist.
This is the final line up, still under revision.
Already have variations of this character, but he's still in development.
Llama beast variant
They want a curly-type beast, so I'm exploring ways of getting the maximum curl-age. :P
Female lizards are difficult
Early stages, size comparison to main character. Lizard dude is my favourite from what I've concepted, I was influenced by the bearded dragon lizard.
(A) was chosen
Rough helmet process
Final, although I have polished him up regarding the messy feet.
Alternative designs A
Alternative designs B
C was chosen, they wanted him to look more royalty and less rogue-like.
His character was described as a sly-varmint, a meanie possum dude.
Anthropomorphic dog
Main character (far left) Anthropomorphic version of the possum character with his four legged appearance. And a king guy!
