FINAL Concept Art for the buddhist temple atop a mountain, with a vivid sunset shining onto the mountain and it's surroundings.
(Close-Ups Above)

Stages of First finished concept art, from the line drawing, brush strokes, making a brush and filling in minor details and altering the end image to create the result I wanted

Two great photo images I found online with really interesting angles, looking high up at the buildings which seem to dominate the scene.
I am considering using these in the previous concept art that I uploaded photos of and altering them to fit into the piece.

Reference Photo

Really nice shot of a buddhist temple. I'd like to use this as a reference for one of my concept arts.

Inspirational Character Sheets

My favourite one that I found, Unfrotunately it will be hard to reach a concept art of this level for the characters, but the layout and idea for the poses and extra pieces inspires me a lot.

Really nice, stylised character sheet with the static views and also a bigger, whole pose on the right. This also has a nice description with sketches and poses to go along with it.

Simple, clearly not professional, but nice front, side and back views with a range of different facial emotions.

Post-Formative

It was clear at my formative assessment that I have been spending a lot more time on concept art work rather than Character Design. By the end of it, it was decided that I should swap my primary role with my secondary role so that I would be doing 3 concept arts and 1 Character instead of the other way around.

First Concept Art

Line Drawing with a better perspective.

Adding some vivid colours for the sky/background to create the chaotic, destructive feel to the piece.

Colouring Continued.

Filling in the building space with black and adding a sunlight to get a general idea of how much these buildings will loom over the scene.

Finished/Improved fireplace.

Adding the building photos with overlays and filters to make them fit into the scene.

adding extra buildings to create more depth and fill out the image.

Idea for Concept Art

Inspired by a Chaotic concept art for DMC: Devil May Cry. 

Initial Character Analysis - Hank and Richard.

Equipment belonging to Richard Jones

Rough Copies of Concept Art

Really trying to focus on creating something beautiful just with simple brush strokes and different shades for the lighting. I think this one went well.
