The Risen: First render

Various freelance and Aero's Quest has kept me rather busy atm! I wanted to get more rendered before showing them off but with being so strapped I'm unsure when I can render the rest. Here is 1 of the baddies rendered for now. Cheers!

I forgot to post the final line art... Lots on the mind!

The Risen: The great valley of the wind

The Risen is the introduction of an enemy force in the valley of the great wind. A world that was one peaceful. Has started to take shape as a dangerous place. Leaving your home and walking the valley is not as safe as it used to be!

 The Risen as the name deems are damned souls that have been Risen by a unnatural power/force. These horrible creatures souls have risen and manifested as these scarecrow/stick enemy's. They are not the only dangers of this world but play a large part in the coming forces that have started to plague the peace of the lands.

Sheet of concept thumbs:

Fauxling Concepts: The great valley of the wind

The completed concepts for the Fauxlings. Had a lot of fun doing these!

Fauxlings 2: The valley of the great wind

Had a little time to render the 2nd Fauxling concept. (first of the line art) I've been leaning towards this sketch from the start as being the overall vision of the species/race.  What that means Is If I were drawing individuals members and I may in time I would concept around this idea for the clan. I kind of picture coming up to them in game. Finding them in the midlands areas that overlook the lowland. There darting around. listening for prey. Hunting. Meditating. Currently I'm kind of building areas in my head. Parts of this world you might encounter them.

Fauxling 1: The valley of the great wind

The first of the Fauxlings rendered. Its a bit busy behind the scenes at the moment so I'm trying to squeeze bits of time in to render these out. This is the first one done. I'll try to get the other two up asap!

Fauxlings: The Valley of the great wind

As I continue to explore the design of this world I'm creating. I'm trying to create some of the inhabitants of the world. The first was the Lowland Enu. A species of creatures that are plant by nature. I now am introducing the second inhabitants of the area. The Fauxling's.

 I picture the Fauxling's to be a species of the midlands and lowlands. I'm rather enjoying the 1st of the line art. Its small and nimble and I could picture this species darting around and having a neat little culture in the world. I'll render them all out and continue to see how I feel after that but currently It has a nice feel to what I'm looking to introduce to the world. Stay tuned for more!

Rulian Marsh: Heroes of Newerth

The Rulian Marsh. Some Freelance art I did for Heroes of Newerth. Was cool to go back and re read Jeremy Browns lore that took place in the area. I had a lot of fun doing this!

Lowland Enu home concepts rendered

So I finished up the Lowland Enu home concepts. I took some of the thumbs that I thought were interesting and ran with them. As I wanted the Lowland Enu to take on more of this desert plant race. I wanted to tie in the structures to accommodate with them. Maybe their little village is all comprised of the 3rd concepts and from a distance looks kind of like a cactus plant. Maybe they use the high roofs of 1 to help shade the areas around them. Maybe the whole area they live is full of the Adasonia type trees that you would see in Africa. In which they live inside or among.

Lowland Enu Home thumbnails

thumbnails of the lowland enu home/structures. Still sticking to this cartoonish world. I've also decided the valley will be more desert/arid. Of course I'm picturing the arid quickly dissipates as you move upward and the highlands will start to be more lush.

The Enu: Rendered

I'm loving the idea of the two on the right being a main guide to the lowland Enu. I can picture them in the desert. Living among the sands. Yet the other three have a nice primitive/Aztec/native look to them and I could see them being there own sec or even separate species. A highlands offshoot. Had a blast working on these. Def gonna keep exploring this world in my free time.

The Enu: Line art

So after thumb nailing I've got a few ideas here I like for my world I'm trying to create. I'm still unsure what the lowland enu are going to look like. I haven't explored the world much but I'm liking the idea of the lowland enu being these desert type guys. Either way I've taken them to the point where I can start exploring in the color for the design. I want this world's visuals to have a nice clean readable style. So I'm sticking in a very cartoon area.

The Enu: The valley of the great wind

As a personal desire. I want to start exploring my design work in a fuller design projects. Its nice to be able to jump in and explore over here and over there but to me it comes at a cost. I loose interest in what I'm working on. Its not like having a world your creating and getting lost in. Different settings and locations in that place. So I'd like to start producing my art within these area's to explore the world more. I may work on several at a time to explore various areas but it will allow me to have a more cohesive world I am creating in. So when I sit down I'm not going. "Hm where do I design today."

The valley of the great wind will be one of the projects I start to develop in my side time. These are thumbs for a more tribal culture I'm calling the enu. I'm still exploring the idea of them and here was some various thumb sketch's Ive done. I like some. Some fall in areas I think are meh. Yet that is design!

mobster sketch

Quick sketch.

Vader redesign

Done for the Brainstorm group on Facebook. Redesign challenge to redesign Vader. I always thought the red guard looked really cool. Yet was disappointed you never see them in action. They are these cool body guards that protect the emperor and I figured for this redesign. What if they were a more active force like the Jedi order. Vader is the leader. So I wanted his redesign to reflect this elite red guard yet still having the feeling of being Vader.

Discovery

     "Home base. Are you seeing this?"

Sketch: Mantis Master

Little sketch I did before shoveling snow today to loosen the fingers up.

The Rebel Suns

The Rebel Suns were a militant faction of service droids that had risen up against the extermination of the human race. In the year 2093. AI was first implemented into robotic beings. By the Year 2142 various groups among the RFRII (Rights For Improved Robotic Intelligence) rose up against their human handlers. By 2144 The war for who would control the planet earth was waged. The red suns were a faction of these rebel droids who rose up against the RFRII cleansing of the human population. They wore orange scarfs and let humans paint orange stripes upon them for identification in battle.

"I may not have been made from the god or the millions of years of developed star dust. My maker is that of flesh and blood. Yet I appreciate the existence I have been given. It is folly with all our ambition that we exterminate that which came before to fulfill our lust for improvement. To further our own existence we must learn to coexist with our predecessor or face the same treatment from our future children." Service droid A2:344

In the year 2156 all remaining droids from the The Rebel Suns memory was wiped. In 2210 the last human being died in a preservation cell.

The Great White Rhinoceros.

The Great White Rhinoceros.
One of the few remaining sub species that isn't endangered.

In 5th grade we were tasked with a year assignment to do 50+ reports on a topic. I loving animals and at such a young age not realizing that an endangered species meant being exterminated not exotic. Chose to do my reports on endangered animals. I at a very early age was exposed to the horrors of the black market trade for parts of animals. The wrath our species brings to the other creatures of our planet. Sadly the Rhino happens to be one of those creatures that is highly in demand in the black market trades. Earlier this year the black rhino was believed to have gone extinct. It awoken the feelings of first seeing the images of men gathered around animals corpses. Bone hacked and being carried away from a grizzly murder scene. As an artist I am not unaccustomed to the tragedy of our existence. Yet I prefer to pay tribute to its aww and wonder. This time I celebrate the great white Rhino. May you reign exceed our species selfish kindergarten sand fight. May we one day grow to exist on this planet without harming your kind any longer.
