Layout - battle screen mockup

Just a mockup, obviously -- I took some shortcuts to throw this together before the meeting tomorrow. I'm going to finalize the character portrait borders, and make the health bars more legible. Possibly with outlines of some sort. I do like outlines.

Concept - Nebelmeer

Quick concept for Nebelmeer! It's hard for me to make plains look interesting, so I'll come back to this design later and try and think of something more interesting.

UI Layout

Possibilities for layout, anyway. Never done this before! Kinda fun. A little too much like graphic design, though.

I like the idea of scribbling out things when the characters are dead, or can't use a specific option, or something like that. Not sure why that's so appealing to me. Also, I feel like this game needs a less precise and pristine look for the options, because that's sort of the feel of the game to me, I guess? If folks disagree, I will redo a cleaner look. Just let me know!

Concept - The Splintered Shore

One of the regions for Wanderings. Only seven more regions to go! I want to do one of these for each of the regions, and then work on specifics of each region, if there's something particular of note. And then go back and redesign, if the group deems it necessary.

..and then I might do more of this region on my own time, because I think it's pretty cool.

Concept - Wanderer Sprite

First attempt at sprites. Sprites are pretty difficult for me. Also, back in the game! I'll actually be able to work on art again, which is super exciting.

Concept - Lattice Caverns

Concept of some caverns in the (semititled) game I'm working on! Someday, I'll concept in color again. Maybe. 2.5 hours.

Concept - Untitled Map

Map mock-up one, for untitled. 2 hours.

Thinking of adding sea monsters and a border sort of like (but not as complex as) this one: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcRQ2Gmy9CebQYjGS-7gYnHbrru6hy3WzoxD6pLtOTZGDhEAN6a4NIwbAJMp_OpZvzZuPvPOVBtrJCJ1-ITr8XDYaKBKoKLLEFeQCeFeWeThEViMas9psYUkUipOmZqrtidcQ0cCmCnEg/s1600/Old-World-Map.jpg . Also, possibly latitude and longitude lines, or something like them. Because they look cool. But I don't know that they'd work for this continent, because it isn't globular.

DS - Map Silhouettes

Beginning stages of the map for untitled. .5 hour.

In other news, I started inking hands: matters of the heart. It's so much fun, I may just do the entire thing and if I feel like it needs a redraft, I'll go back and redo pages or chapters! I don't know how else to tell if it's going in the right direction. And I'm impatient. I may post some sneak peeks here if I can get my hands on a scanner.

Concept - Caravaning

Quick concept for untitled of a panoramic of some caravans traveling in the deserts. Next up, some village or bustling city! This took approximately 1.5 hours. I've been working like crazy on the Ninth Circle and the planning of the other graphic novel, so this probably won't get updated much with anything other than concepts for untitled.

Concept - Desert Arena

Concept/potential in-game background for one of the battle scenes. It's a crystalline cavern that formed in the ribcage of what the new desert giants are going to look like -- or something.

Concept - Cloudwalkers

Wow, I haven't posted in awhile. Been working on other (art!) stuff, planning a couple of other graphic novels while trying to get enough ahead in the Ninth Circle so I can travel this summer. Here's another post for the untitled game.

Concept - Hills & Bones

Very, very rough. I was trying for something else entirely, but it wasn't working out at all. So I said, forget it, drew on top of it, and came up with this. More of a palette/general feel concept than an actual environmental one, I'm afraid -- I'll have to think of more interesting things to put in the hills.

Concept - Coast & Bones

Just a potential conception of the coasts for this game.

Concept - Sand & Bones

Quick concept piece for an untitled project I'm working on with some other folks. This one's of the desert-scape. Deserts are difficult. There isn't much in them that's interesting. They're just sand dunes!
