Spent hours researching last night because I got mad at trees. Came to the conclusion that trees suck, but waterfalls are cool. These are the kind of statements that come out of overthinking game design. Or to put it as a meme... 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
Development Update: A Busy Month of Background Work
Hi everyone, thank you for checking in on The New World Saga... Work on the project has not stopped, but some times are certainly busier than others. There's also some parts of the job that are really kind of boring to share, since they aren't centered around pictures of new characters and are mostly storyboarding … Continue reading Development Update: A Busy Month of Background Work

Site Scouting for Battlebacks – Part Two
More pictures taken on the road recently, as I left the art desk and computer behind for a little site scouting. I've been working on the ideas around the battlebacks for The New World Saga. Essentially, the backgrounds and foregrounds that are used for every battle in the game. Originally, I was debating on simply … Continue reading Site Scouting for Battlebacks – Part Two

Today’s Sketches – Moving Beyond Chapter One
Here's the latest from the sketchbook for the game. I picked up some new art books recently, so some of these creatures are based on trying out some new ideas from that. I'm also working to begin filling out some of the monsters that appear beyond the first section of the game. At this point, … Continue reading Today’s Sketches – Moving Beyond Chapter One
Today’s Sketches – Slimes and Mermaids
More sketches to share today as we continue to fill up that New World Saga rogues gallery. We're diving into the fantasy playbook this time around. Slimes, mermaids and a frost monster (what with how cold it is!) I definitely have an idea for a storyline around a slime monster in this game, as opposed … Continue reading Today’s Sketches – Slimes and Mermaids
