Gorilla Digital Illustration

This time, I was able to remember to periodically save out files incrementally to document a little of my process when working on this gorilla. You can see the starting sketch through the application of base values and then my applying more detail in some areas. I finished by pushing what I had a bit further with the dodge and burn tools. So one more creature illustration completed for my never ending game project. At the same time that I am working on illustrations, I’m also writing adventures for my testers so I guess, if they are paying attention to my blog, they are getting a glimpse of what is coming at them. Don’t tell them, but this time, it is an army of mind-controlled carnivorous apes. Fun!

Bluk the Frogman Digital Illustration

Again I forgot to get a bunch of in-progress steps for my frogman concept.  I did manage to remember once so I have a mid-way image and then the finished design.  I’ll try to do better on the next one I’m working on (I think it will be a gorilla.)  Maybe I’ll set some kind of timer if I can think of it.  So here is one that is about 60-70 percent done and the finished design.  Mid-way working on this one I decided to alter his clothing and accessories a bit.  I gave him a little more armor and some pants, cinched near the bottom to accommodate his leaping, as I expect he is want to do.
