Some ghost and monster designs I did as part of this years global games jam. 

The game I worked on had you walking around a dungeon whilst trying to avoid ghosts you couldn’t see. 

Some character designs I did this weekend for a game similar to ‘Werewolf’ @FuseJamBristol.

Thanks to my team and everyone who helped out, but also to @aardmananimations for hosting the event. 

Been busy working on some character and armour designs, the character here has an aerobatic disposition, so I associated her suit with a monkey. I started looking at Images at of Sun-Wukong and Buddhism which is how I came across the lotus and decided to try and incorporate it into the armour.

3D work for my project, I developed one of my armour designs in 3D software Maya and Zbrush.

Here I made a base mesh in Maya in order to use it later in Zbrush

Mesh Wire-frame

For the helmet design I modeled it around a base head in order to make sure the proportions were correct.

In Zbrush I carved out the finer details of the suit that would be more difficult to do in Maya

Further revision for my characters was required so I redid them and focused on adding colour to them as well. 

First revision of my characters in line-work

Practicing values in grey-scale

Taking the grey-scale into Photoshop I played around with various filters and values to get an approximation of matching colours.

Further experimentation in color values

Experimentation in character designs led to me simplifying and exaggerating certain aspects.

The second aspect that is key, next to the characters is the armor designs, I wanted them to be synthetic, not quite artificial but not quite organic. For their designs I looked at animals and vehicles such as cars, aircraft and construction vehicles to give them personality to be shared with the respective character the armour belonged to.   

The initial designs had too many straight edges making them look too constructed and man made.

I resigned them to give them more organic shapes and smoother lines to seem more organic.

The helms I did not redesigns as I was satisfied with their designs

Characters being the most important part of any story require the most work, so I began redesigning them to try and give them more personality in order to differentiate them among one another.
