WORK LOG – November 24th
Spent hours researching last night because I got mad at trees. Came to the conclusion that trees suck, but waterfalls are cool.

Not wanting to leave you with just that, so here's a bit of … Continue reading WORK LOG – November 24th

Completed Enemy – Griffon
Diving into a more traditional fantasy style character, we have a griffon as part of the enemies you'll face early on in the game. The griffon was one of the first enemy characters I sketched out in a truly massive sketch. I had to put together a couple of pieces of paper because I underestimated … Continue reading Completed Enemy – Griffon
Completed Enemy – Drumbo Dan
I've looked up many things over the course of this game's development, like examples of how to draw a tidal wave or how a quarry actually looks inside and out. I've even looked up the proper terms to use around driving 4-wheelers. Today's search tops everything. Today, I looked up Beavis's teeth. Beavis from the … Continue reading Completed Enemy – Drumbo Dan

Completed Enemy – The Quarry Gang
Today's project was finishing up some enemies that appear in the early game. One of the first villain factions your characters will face off with is a group called The Quarry Gang. The Quarry Gang aren't necessarily bad guys, they are simply not good guys. They are a gang of less-fortunate who have made an … Continue reading Completed Enemy – The Quarry Gang
