June 3rd Update

Welcome back, its been a very long time since the last update, apologies for that, I needed to get college work out of the way and I lost track of the updates. But now I’m back now, and this week we have the landmark of the Focus Training Dojos area, the Temple:

The Main influence for this was the Wat Rong Khun or the white Temple in Thailand:

I would have loved to have added something as striking as that mass of stone hands, but there were a few factors that stopped me, the first was time, I was behind on updates and swamped with college work, the second was style, I want this place to stand out, but I don’t want it to look jarring with the high amount of detail.

So with the final design I desided to simplify it down, round it to make it fit the Alterkin architecture and replaced the lake of Hands with water, but I still quite like this concept in spite of all I removed.

Anyway that’s it for this week, the progress list is as follows:

• Character Concepts
  • Background extras:42/42
  • Main Characters: 13/13
  • Main character re-designs: 5/5
  • Secondary Character: 14/14
  • Secondary Character re-designs: 5/5
• Weapon Concepts
  • Main Characters: 12/12
  • Secondary Characters: 7/7
  • Weapon Redesigns: 4/4
• Scene Concepts
  • Interiors: 0/24
  • Landmarks:7/15
  • Exteriors:39/39

 

November 28th Update

A little late this week, but here is the second skyscraper for the Altherkin business district:

I’m steadily working up the detail in these buildings, the hollowing out of the top is something I’ve been trying to figure out for a while, I think for the most part I’ve gotten it correctly, but the shading might need work.

Other than that I need to point out that things are getting quite busy with college and Christmas, so there may be the occasional late post like this one, but come January things should start to even out again

Anyway, here is this week’s Update list:

• Character Concepts
  • Background extras:42/42
  • Main Characters: 13/13
  • Main character re-designs: 5/5
  • Secondary Character: 14/14
  • Secondary Character re-designs: 5/5
• Weapon Concepts
  • Main Characters: 12/12
  • Secondary Characters: 7/7
  • Weapon Redesigns: 4/4
• Scene Concepts
  • Interiors: 0/24
  • Landmarks:0/15
  • Exteriors:29/39

That’s all for this week,
Until next time

November 19th Update

A fairly simple one this week, the First of the Alterkin business district buildings:

These buildings were a really important experiment for me to draw, the next two will be a bit more complicated, but this design helped me to work out a lot of the process, for example, the squarer human skyscrapers required far less planning because they were simple boxes

However in rounded buildings, extra angles mean added complexity:

Up until now I’ve been designing very simple rounded structures, single story houses or smoke stacks, so a multi-floored buildings presented a challenge, one I’ve honestly been procrastinating on until now, but now that I have this method I should be able to come up with some interesting designs, and I’m looking forward to getting creative with it.

Anyway, here is this week’s Update list:

• Character Concepts
  • Background extras:42/42
  • Main Characters: 13/13
  • Main character re-designs: 5/5
  • Secondary Character: 14/14
  • Secondary Character re-designs: 5/5
• Weapon Concepts
  • Main Characters: 12/12
  • Secondary Characters: 7/7
  • Weapon Redesigns: 4/4
• Scene Concepts
  • Interiors: 0/24
  • Landmarks:0/15
  • Exteriors:28/39

That’s all for this week,
Until next time
