April 2nd Update

The third Landmark, this is a pretty important one, Its the Team’s main base, Hojo:

HojoBase

I’ve had a really clear idea of this one for a while now, Its human made, but I wanted to make it look like there was an attempt to incorporate the rounder architecture of Altherkin buildings to make a combination of the two cultures. I still want to mess around with the scale of the building in sections, but that rough shape is what I’ll be sticking with.

Secondly I wanted it to match the military district, so I took some of my earlier colour schemes and used them for different elements and I’m very happy with the result.

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:3/15
    • Exteriors:39/39

Season 1 Background Buildings

My second biggest milestone after the background characters

I feel this puts me overall past the half way point with the concept art. These milestones are really important to keeping motivation throughout the boring parts.

Anyway until Next time,

February 19th Update

Nearly done with the background buildings, this week the third last, Mining structures:

The Mining Sector of the city isn’t particularly dense compared to the rest of the city so chances are I’ll only be using each of these once, Also since Mana, the resource they extract is so important to the story, I felt they had to be striking to an extent. Which is why I decided to make these structures similar to the Bucket Wheel excavators used in coal production.

Its not clear in the image, but I added small wheels to each pillar, the intent is that each excavator is placed on rails over a borehole as a near permanent extractor. I also wanted a common colour scheme for the more industrial buildings in the city, so I took the colours from the warehouse district.

Anyway that’s it for this week, keeping it short again, 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:0/15
    • Exteriors:37/39

That’s all for this week,
Until next time

November 12th Update

Apologises for lack of update last week, I was extremely sick and wasn’t able to work much, but this week we have the last government Buildings:

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Admittedly this design was the simplest, I’m pretty sure its still going to be imposing when paired with the other buildings, but my illness couldn’t design anything more complex than that.

That being said, that’s it for the government buildings,  I only have a handful of buildings for outdoor scenes left, these last few buildings will be interesting challenges, but I think I’ve learned enough to handle the last four districts

 

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:27/39

That’s all for this week,
Until next time

October 29th Update

Second Set of government buildings this week:

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

After sleep on the last week’s designs a while I’ve actually changed my mind about about them, once again I don’t want to distract too much from the main set pieces, and giving them a more foreboding look isn’t really a factor until later seasons, so I’m getting a bit ahead of myself.

One other thing that ties into this topic, which I forgot to talk about, was actually the colours I chose for these particular concepts, which is heavily based off of Russian buildings built during the soviet era:

xkremlin-pagespeed-ic-_jcvbwxgjw

I muted down some of the colours to prevent them from grabbing too much attention, and with the right lighting could be seen as both hopeful and oppressive based on the mood I’m trying to create.

Anyway, here is this week’s 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:26/39

That’s all for this week,
Until next time

October 21st Update

Onto a new set of buildings this week, the government buildings:

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

These buildings were tough to design, they had to show that the human’s were in charge without standing out too much, both impressive but also a bit oppressive, honestly I don’t know if I pulled it off with the look, I took a little inspiration from the Diet Building in japan for this piece, but I don’t know if I took enough elements from it:

I kept with the square ascetic of the building and the extruded pillars, but reduced the scale. I’m wondering now if I should have kept the gilded stonework along the tops of each section, but I don’t want to dwell on it too long.

Regardless, here is this week’s 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:25/39

That’s all for this week,
Until next time

October 8th Update

Second set of Slum buildings, I want to have a few examples of multi-layered structures:

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Eventually I want to have several layers of the buildings, like the tower from Let it die, but much much smaller:
Image result for let it die tower

This is a bit too huge,in reality it would look a little more the black buildings in the lower Left but stacked a bit more around the walls:

city8

It’ll be a little clearer when I’m actually building out the city again.

Anyway, here is this week’s 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:23/39

That’s all for this week,
Until next time

September 18th Update

The Final Factory this week, took a little bit of a different approach this week:

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

the Storage Tanks were something I think the district really needed, both from a world-building perspective and a way of adding variety to the scenes, I’m quite happy with them.
I think I’ve finally perfected drawing cylinders enough to move onto some of the more advanced Alther kin buildings, which I’m really looking forward to working on now

In other news, I have to apologise for the lateness of this update, I’m back to college this week and things are unfortunately up in the air with my scheduled, there may be another delay next week as well, but after that things should start getting back to normal with the updates.

Anyway, here is this week’s 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:21/39

That’s all for this week,
Until next time

September 10th Update

Nearly didn’t make this one in time, stuff is getting pretty busy going back to college, but anyway here is this week’s concepts:

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Like last week I decided to keep the shapes simple, these buildings are oppressive monoliths, the other reason I kept them simple is that I have quite a lot on my plate with college and another important project opportunity, I can’t really discuss it right now, but if it succeeds it may be just what I need to get Fade the boost it needs to get the pilot made. All that said I’m not going to get anyone’s hopes up by giving anymore details.

Anyway, here is this week’s 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:20/39

That’s all for this week,
Until next time
