Aldamont - Concept

I don't normally do character art but I love doing it. This guy is kinda cool. He is part of a world I've been coming up with in my free time that ties into my more recent work. I'll probably model him when I get the urge to do some character modeling.

Tower - Texturing Progress

Still going on this.
The banners will use 3 different opacity maps to add more variety.

Tower - Early Render/Texturing

 It's been a long time since I last updated but I have been working on things!~

I've been slowly working on this scene whenever I have a lot free time, the process has been pretty iterative. I'm pretty far from finished but I've been having a lot of fun with it so I'm in not in a rush.

Also I've been doing a basic armory that has become part of a larger project that involves the previous scene. These are really fun and quick for when I don't have much time for a lot of back and forth on the environment.

The Tower of King Osric - Wall Texturing End Cap

I don't like the compression that blogspot upload is giving me so I'm gonna try to use my own webhost for images.

The Tower of King Osric - Wall Texturing

Long time since I updated. This is a texture I painted for a wall. 1024x1024. I love hand painting stuff.

Tree things in UDK

Just messing around with some ideas and materials in UDK.

The Tower of King Osric - Test Update

I got some friends suggested I add some silhouette to the handle.
ANNNNYWAY. Back to concepting.

The Tower of King Osric - What started as a simple test.

So I started doing some simple things just to kinda test run a pipeline and I ended up getting a bit carried away. I'll be back on concepting things soon.

The Tower of King Osric - Weapon Size Chart

Before I forget! This is a scale chart current for the weapons.
I think spear needs to be larger.

The Tower of King Osric - Flail Concept

Last weapon in the set!

The Tower of King Osric - Mage Staff

TIME!

The Tower of King Osric - Shields

Shields. Two sizes, which reminds me to post my weapons size chart when I finish the last one.
The tower shield is called The Ghost Hull. I wanted them to look really really solid. The first few designs I did had the bladed edges like most of the weapons but it made them feel flimsy. I ended up going for the more "bashy" look of the mace. One more weapon (maybe two, I really like making tons of work for myself) to go, then on to the vehicles.

The Tower of King Osric - Katana and Spear Concept

Simpler design for this one. I think in total there will be 6 weapons, 2 shield, 2 vehicles, and 2 soldier types.
An enormous amount but I think it's worth doing. I've been having a lot of fun painting these.

The Tower of King Osric - Mace Concept

I really don't know how many of these I'm gonna make...

The Tower of King Osric - Hand Axe Concept

The Tower of King Osric - Bastard Sword Concept

Concept for one of the many weapons that will be scattered around the tower. One of the reasons I've been really excited for this project is that it gives me a chance to create an array of quicker assets with a general goal/style/color palette in mind.

Updated the hilt.
Updated the blade.

The Tower of King Osric - Concept *UPDATED

This is scene I've wanted to do for quite some time. It's based off a Samurai Jack Episode: Jack and The Three Archers. I've already done some production art for the scattered armors, weapons and rock formations. I'll post them when I gather them all together.

Updated: Added some snow to the tower. 

Abandoned Security Checkpoint - FAQ

So I've gotten a couple of questions regarding the materials that I used for this project.
The materials are very, very standard as UDK goes. Screen cap below.

So to give a basic overview I have a diffuse with a reflection lerped into it and basic normal and spec with some control values for instances.
Most every object uses this set up with exception for the glass eyes, sky and other odds and ends.
As far as the ink on the object silhouettes I'm using the sobel edge detector posted on the UDN website.

Most of the look and feel is obtained through texturing and lighting.
If anyone else has any questions please ask in the comments!
