Stumped | Viking Environment Production Thumbnails

Here are three production thumbnails for Stumped's environments. I really tried to flesh out the world more, and tried to make sure the environment had a consistent style. I also was trying to push for more depth and in the third one I think I'm starting to achieve a bit more of what I want. Eventually one of these thumbnails will be turned into a digital painting. Got to keep refining. Composition, depth.

Also, I'm going to start labeling any art pertaining to Stumped as "Stumped |" followed by whatever the content is. That way I can keep Stumped's art and my other stuff separated.

Viking Winter Environment Sketches

Some design sketches I'm doing for my Stumped's environment. I've decided to place the story during the winter, where cutting wood makes more sense and adds a bit of urgency to the need. I'm also trying to take a more definite stance on style. Just some sketches, but ideas on paper nonetheless.

DrawJam Week #2 | Rome | 10.3.13

Here are the drawings I did for DrawJam Week 2. The theme was classic Rome. I decided to draw a quick gladiator as well as a classic Roman army helmet. Fun to draw with friends! Don't really like either drawing but hey, practice is practice! Hopefully I'll be able to do more for next week!

Character Design | Roth the Viking Boy

Some character design drawings I did for Roth, my viking boy character. I really like the top right one, I think I'll be using that as my character, but I still need to do more exploring with facial features, the helmet design, and of course a body/clothes.

And speaking of helmets, here are a couple I did after my initial boring ones. I still have so much potential I could do, it's exciting! Can't wait to see where my character ends up.

Viking Boy Doodle

Just a quick doodle I did in class today, gearing up for some viking boy character design. I have to design a character for my upcoming short film, Stumped. Already have a name for him, Roth. 

Hat Value Study | Digital

I forgot to post this a week or so back, but since I'm still in the early stages of digital painting I found it relevant to post. This was a value study based around the planes of an object. As far as a study goes, I feel confident that I showed a decent amount of form and dimension with just value. Good practice.

Stumped Environment Attempt 2

A second attempt at my Stumped environment. I focused on trying to tell a story, show depth, and get perspective more correct. I think I achieved some of those goals, but I'm going to work on rendering it out further, and pushing my shape language and style.
