More concepting

Working with previous concepts I've been taking various parts of them in order to try and create a more solid design for the character.

7 foot purple goat person-thing treasure diggerer person.

The idea is that she is an archaeologist who whilst working uncovers an artifact dating back to to to a time when ancient extraterrestrials inhabited the planet. Removing the artifact from the site triggered a security protocol causing those who possessed the artifact to be sought after by sentinels of the lost race as well as dark forces as old as the artifact itself. The correct amount of fun for an archaeologist.

Character Concepts

For my 2D project I drew some concepts of the main character. Although she comes from a race of traditionally nomadic hunters I had the idea of making her an archaeologist who fights with a shovel.





Moh'wes

Two Mohh-Way both over 7 feet tall.

I've drawn two Moh'we standing side by side just to get and idea of their proportions and anatomy.
They don't have lower legs but I'll work on the mechanics of those separately and then mash them together. 

2D Project

For my 2D project I have decided to do a Moh'we adventurer. Moh'we are a large hooved species who's main habitat are large open planes. Despite their nomadic origins the influence of neighbouring races and allies has brought more modern technologies and ways of living to them.

Moh'we are a race of creatures which I have been drawing for some time so hopefully this project will help me cement ideas for them more.

2D Robot

We were given a picture of a robot in which to copy in order to practice getting a good concept using only 3 to 4 colours  and minimal line-work.

Glowy-eyed robot with machine gun and perma-friend.

The picture actually went better than I thought it would but it required a bit of tweaking colour-wise to get everything to look right.

2D Specialisation

For our first 2D class we did two 45-50 minute drawings; one character, one enviroment.
For the character I roughly sketched a fantasy warrior and for the enviroment I tried my hand at some sort of science lab.

Room of science.

I definitely enjoy doing characters more than environments but I need more practice with environments anyway. In both cases I just need to work a little on perspective instead of trying to make the excuse of 'I'm better on paper'.
