 May 1, 2010 | category: my work March 17, 2010 | category: my work A video game studio asked me to come up with concepts for a tower defense game. This is one of 3 concepts I came up with, “Zombie Farm”. Basically the game took place in a post-abarnalyptic future and involved the defense of Farmer Dell’s homestead and all its stored food with weapons fashioned from farm tools.
I developed five zombie animal classes that had become infected and five defense tower objects with their own range, variables, etc. The thing that I wanted to introduce as a new gameplay mechanics was the alternation of attack paths from them (zombies) eating barriers blocking paths, and different combinations of spawn points/patterns in levels. Believe it or not this was before Plants VS Zombies came out, so it was cool to see a studio take the zombie tower defense concept and delivered it in an exciting way. That and the folks that work there are some nice people to begin with!

Some of the sketches are actual designs, others are a combination of a few, but all are based off of real tractors. Yup, even that one on stilts.

I’ve done some sci-fi themed work before, never with more humanoid characters. I tried a different approach where I isolated local colors out before building lights and darks.

January 12, 2010 | category: my work Turnaround drawing and a 3d prototype from a toy project a while back. The modeling for the character was done in Maya by the talented Joe Brogno. It was then cut in a 3d printer. The prototype was handpainted by myself using Cartooncolour vinyl cel paint. I had this whole mythology, numerical, alchemical, cultural, and prehistory written up. The bird is one of many, and was part of the story of the alchemists having all these lab birds which were used for experiments. Maybe one day I’ll post some of the other work I did for it.

They are explorers from Xarthean, ready to probe the moons of Jupiter. I’m going to make some adjustments to the droid’s angle, and other things that I think can be refined in the final image. I’ll be using a red palette with this one.
