Run Cycle

In the last post, I came up with a style that I liked for a side-scrolling type of fighting game. These are a couple of frames from the run cycle of one of the characters. I still haven't decided if he's going to have a mouth when he's running or not. The full animation is on the GIFs page.

Revisiting an old idea

This is the latest idea I've been working on that I have in a state that's post-able. And this isn't really anything great, but it might be interesting to see kind of how I go through different iterations before ending up at one that I like. The story is actually something I've posted before (for example, on this post), but I wanted to try making a side-scrolling fighting game, so I borrowed the idea. It'll probably take a while, but I hadn't posted anything for some time, so I decided to put this on here.

Android

It's been a little bit since I put anything on here. This is a continuation of concept art for my story that will someday happen. I kind of liked the idea of having an android doppelganger of the leader of the good guys, so I decided to draw a more detailed version. Aside from the concept, I tried to use some more dramatic lighting in this picture. It could probably still be polished a little more, but I'm going to move on to another drawing for now.

Comic book style

This isn't quite comic book style, but it's close. That's probably because a lot of the resources I used for this picture are from actual comic books. Anyway, this is another concept for my story. This guy is going to be the leader of the good guys. I haven't figured out what kind of power this guy might have, but I know I want him to always be well-dressed. My idea is that it will give him an air of leadership and might also allow for some comedy depending on who's talking.

Update: I added the second picture, which adds the android clone of this guy getting punched in the face. This isn't the best work I've done and I could add some more detail, but it works for now.

Soldier Ideas

These are the survivors of a battle to the death of 10 concepts for soldiers in my story. The others didn't make it because they were either crap or boring. As you can see, these are very rough drawings that I'll probably work on developing a little more.

Mech

This is my first attempt at drawing a mech. Obviously, this sketch is a lot rougher than some of my other drawings and it only took me about an hour. As far as context, this is part of the story that I'm working on. All the bad guys are going to be technologically advanced and the good guys will have a sort of magical power or something along those lines. I still haven't worked out much of the story dynamics, but this is a start of some concept art for the machinery of the story.

Some inspiration for this is the Thor from Starcraft 2 and the Mantis from Halo 4.

Story Idea

It's been a while since I've put anything up here. I'm not sure I'm satisfied with how this one turned out, but I'm tired of working on it. Anyway, this picture is of an idea I have for a story. The setting is kind of before, during, and after an apocalypse type of war. This scene is right after the war and the girl is one of the main characters.

This was more of an exercise in character drawing, though. I learned a lot about facial structure, lighting, and how to use color. I'm probably going to try doing some more quicker drawings (speed paints) to improve on these points. I tend to polish things a lot, but doing some rough drawings might help solidify the basics.
