CyberPunk 2088. 

This artwork was created in anticipation for CD ProjecktRed's new title : Cyberpunk 2077

The main goal was to create a bustling city district, Neon signs and tall buildings. Below is a sliding process of how i achieved the final image. 

The Magician and his Assistant.

This was created for the Circus challenge in the Rookies 2019.

The brief was to create a character in any shape or form and from any time period with the main theme being "Circus".

My first plan was to come up with some rough sketches and concepts as seen below. 

I decided on the characters quickly as i was on tight time constraints for this project. 

The next stage was planning out composition and base colors. 

Through out the rendering process, i decided to make a small example of how i achieved a certain look to the characters clothing. 

Image variants,

When i complete an illustration or drawing, i like to add one final color adjustment and image grain over everything. It gives the final work a nice finishing touch, while also correcting minor color changes.

Character Concepts.

The goal for the following character concepts was to create a page full of characters , that, could all exist within the same universe but still be different from each other. 

I had a main theme for majority of the characters which was : Scifi , alien, Cyberpunk

I have selected a character for this page to further the concept. I have called this character: The Mechanic. As seen below.

After completing these additional concepts, i took the second concept to a more rendered out version.  

The next concepts where not for anything in particular , more of an expressive study. I gave my self simple themes, the only purpose of these concepts was to find unique shapes, experiment with texture

The Hunter.

Concepts and designs for Alien Hunter creature. 

Environment conceptart

This environment was created during my time Animal Logic Academy whilst undertaking my master degree in Animation. 

There was no real goal for this environment , more of a spur of the moment.

The Artifact .

Theme/story: An early civilized group find a mysterious alien artifact while venturing into the world.

Under the spire.

Theme/story: A small fisherman's village has built its town under ancient spire.

Environment exploration and thumb-nailing. 

Vehicle designs / concepts.

Sun Scarab.

The goal was to have a large mechanical vessel that would slight hover above the ground - but could move at impressive speeds if needed. 

I really enjoyed creating this and the world that this vehicle could exist in. After creating this, I created another concept that goes along with this.
