Artist Takeover Post #2 - Week 11

aka; Artist documentation that she actually does work post.

aka; Artist procrastination post.

aka; Artist can’t sleep because she’s nocturnal post.

So we’ve decided to skip ahead a bit in our game dev to the area in which the thick of action and suspense takes place, which SPOILERS it’s the city. To get a rough idea of what we want the level to look like, I did a rough paint over of one of Ben’s sketches of what a potential level may look like. Following that is an early days concept art of my idea for the city area and some of the possible assets we may use for doorways and windows, platforms etc.

Basically  I wanted the city to be very vertical, lots of thin skycrapers, I envision Charlie leaping over balconies from tower to tower, clambering up ladders and such. I also wanted to incorporate sexy sexy parallax. So I decided to utilise the classic sunset city backdrop to emphasise the contrast between foreground and background with the skyline utilising the parallax to maximum effect. I also really like the mood that the oranges sets as it brings closure to the level.

As for the  city itself, I wanted it to feel communal and have some organic material to make it feel somewhat homely. I didn’t want it to be completely sterile and cold, so I plan to have some foliage within the city itself. Though there still needs a little more design work to find a happy balance where the assets don’t look TOO fantasy orientated but also not too bland.

Hopefully in the coming week we’ll see more of the 1st pass assets being churned out. Exciting times!

Hey look the artist finished something! Bree does Asunder icons/banners 2013; the blog; the experience.
