Concept Art - Illustration 2023

Our brief was to redesign a new ‘How to Train you Dragon’ world, either for game or for film. I decided to go with designing for a game and incorporating a bit of spookiness. The tavern is set in a spooky fantastical world, at the foot of the dark forest where traveler's may take a rest or gear up before venturing forward. In addition, the tavern keepers were deeply inspired by dragons that they have built their pub inspired by the creatures they worship.

Interior - Asset creation 

Interior planning - Layout and composition 

Extra critters designed for the tavern owners pet 

An optional project that I decided to push it further. The task was to re-design ‘The Goonies’ movie either for a game or film. The Goonies: The Game is an action adventure fantasy game where the main characters go on a quest to explore hidden treasure on a unique washed up ship while encountering problematic traps. This project was inspired by Borderlands unique wackiness, I wanted to push the whimsical vibe of this project by incorporating organic elements within hard surfaces. It also gave me an excuse to use deep sea critters in my project ! The title was supposed to be a place holder but my mentor found it funny since most of my designs are unhinged and so I went with it. Thank you David for encouraging my wackiness in my projects, it’s really pushed me to be a better artist and come out of my shell…..  crab shell  more like it

Exterior compositions 

Exterior concepts and sketches - I was trying to figure out the layout of the ships environment and what colour scheme felt more coherent.  The traps are supposed to be scattered around and in the ship to prevent intruders from raiding the treasure. The steering wheel holds gas, when spun the gas is released into the intruders face

Interior final

Original final - This was the previous interior illustration before my final design. I ended up pushing  the newer versions lighting more, but I couldn’t scrap this one out. The Easter egg pear is dedicated to Simon for the fruit bowl in the student kitchen 

Interior compositions and colour grading

Interior layout - I cherry picked some elements I liked from each layout to compose a final sketch

Asset creation - Some designs for the interior treasure room. The coins contains little Easter eggs in my language which I used to fill up the negative spaces

Class project was to combine My Hero Academia and Bobs Burgers crossover
