Junk!

Because I don't create any new art (non professional that is) I thought I'd put up some stuff that didn't make it into Battle of the Bands.


This was a quick pre-vis model I did to establish mood and scale for a Train Graveyard level (one day I will work on a game that has one!) based on one of my concepts.



Before we came up with the insane asylum idea for the goth band we were going to go with the tried and true gothic cathedral idea. The model never made it past this point in the process, but I was pretty happy with how it was progressing.

Due to time constrictions I "kit bashed" (i.e. stole from) an old model I had made that had some gothic windows. I was actually able to salvage some of this model though and use it in Hongs Castle Ballroom.

Putting on the Ritz

Ok so here is the last batch of artwork I will be posting for Battle of the Bands. There is actualy more I have but I don't have the paitence to render it out

So basicly it bears saying again, this is the most pride I've ever had for a project regardless of what critics, or people in general say.

The work I've posted here shows a lot of growth in me as an artist and it also shows the process a game goes through in it's development. If that means something to you I hope you got something out of these last few posts.

So without futher adu here is the last of my Battle of the Bands art...

Battle of the Bands art dump 4

More Art! The Heavy Metal Band Sinisister was a company favorite. One of the first bands brought to completion. I got to come up with the devil character as well as name him Von Steel!

A homage to my favorite band Type O Negative (the lead singer is Peter Steele) Von Steel is probably my favorite character in the game.





I created this concept for the witch Lucretia, which was then taken to final by my art Lead Thomas. You can see that concept in the magazine spread a few posts down.
