Helios

I've started with exploring the art-direction for my personal project; Helios. A number of sketches on my blog are from the same project but I finally started to take it more serious now. I hope to have some more work to show soon!

Emperors - The finished ones

Remember those sketches from last week? Well, I finally got permission to show the finals. They're going into the update for Empire, a deck building strategy game on IOS and Android. They where quite a rush job because I only had about a week to do these... It was a lot of fun to do though!

Just to be clear, this was done before I started working at C.A. I only just now got permission to show them.

The Emperors - Approved Sketches

Here's a little teaser for stuff I've done for the Empire game on IOS and Android. These are the approved sketches that have already been made public. I hope to be able to show the final versions soon!

Disclaimer; This work is unrelated to my current job at the Creative Assembly, this is a freelance assignment I did before joining C.A.

Beric Dondarrion

Beric Dondarrion, the Lighting Lord. I've been listening to the Game of Thrones audiobooks while working and it's taking over my imagination. This is a portrait I've done on the side that was never supposed to be finished. But some how I finished it...

Substrata - One of the Three Undead Elven Lords...

This one is a failed sketch that isn't going to make the cut. Still thought I'd share it anyway. I thought about giving him a more sultan and pharaoh look, which backfired.

Killzone Inspired Sketches

Whenever I do character speedpaints I often end up with a bunch of Helghasts. For some reason the character designs from Killzone stick with me. Must be those glowing eyes or it's just a part of Dutch pride. Anyway, I thought it was time to do some proper Killzone inspired sketches to get it out of my system.
I went for a desert setting with these ones, mainly since it hasn't been featured in the games yet. However, I did want them to be more heavily armored, so I guess they're sporting climate-control in those suits. The desert setting kinda went out of the window along the line although some features may be reminiscent of it. I really enjoyed doing these and I think I might do a couple more in the near future. Of course this is by no means a job application...(or is it?!)
