City

I created a concept for a futuristic city that was based around the Hilton in Manchester. My idea was that the Hilton was a citadel found in the center of a city that is visible from nearly everywhere in the city itself. I first created a model in sketch up of what my city would look like and then used this as a guideline and painted out my city adding texture and layers of detail as I went through the painting.

character turnaround and emotions

I created a really simple character turnaround that can be used to model a character and also created an emotions sheet of the same character. However the emotions sheet could have been beeter as the jaw itself doesn't move between the emotions.

Armour

My Armour concept is based around heavy armour sets that can be found in games such as Dark souls and the elder scrolls series. I think the pose could have been better but overall the set has come out very nicely. I later went back and adjusted the shadow as it was not right for the pose.

Driver and vehicle

I created a vehicle and a driver that match together. I looked into steam punk and how the movement uses steam engines within there work. I went down to the museum of science and industry in Manchester and took some research photographs of the engines inside, with these images I took certain parts to help create the carriage on my art craft. The driver I designed to fit the vehicle I didn't want to go overboard with cog and mechanics so i used the colour scheme instead and made her look like a pilot from the past.

Weapons

I designed a set of medieval weaponry that ranged from a longsword to a siege cross bow, That used Celtic symbols and architecture pieces within the metal work. Sadly my memory stick broke and i lost the file that contained these illustrations.

Photoshop Image

At the start of the year I first created a image in photoshop based around a character called tyki from D.Gray man manga. This is the first illustration I did.

I went back afterwards as the proportions were out and redid the character design to look a little less like the character from the manga this turned out alot better than previous and the line art is more solid.

Ethnicities

The ethnicities project was based around drawing people that were of different ethnic origins. For this project I drew 2 different races and textured there clothes accordingly, I looked at the different styles of businessman that are seen around the world.

Styles

This project revolved around creating the same character in 3 different styles, cartoon, semi-realistic and realistic.

The cartoon style was based around Christopher Uminga's work. the character as a whole was based of the race of dark elf from the elder scroll series.

Protaganist and antaganist

These characters were from another project I have done earlier in the year

My protagonist is based around death however i did not manage to finish my concept for him, I looked at the witch king from lord of the rings for inspiration.

My Antagonist is called Dark heart and is a massive demon. The original concept was that his mouth opened in 4 places to show his mouth. This was difficult to illustrate.

I went back towards the end of the year and did a speed painting version of Dark Heart, this looks better as his mouths open but doesn't open in 4 places.

me as a character

My first task was to draw myself as a character, I originally did this in my sketch book baseing my design losely around the dark brotherhood from the elder scrolls series.

later on i went back and redid this illustration in Photoshop using Photoshop textures
