Oppidum Prototype

Motion concepts are something I've toyed around with for a couple years now, though until now I've never taken one so far that Photoshop couldn't handle it properly. I've spent the last week or so learning AfterEffects and though I doubt I'll ever excel with animation, I've really enjoyed myself and have learned and grown a great deal. It's proven to be a great way to explore, plan and prototype game designs as well as otherwise force me to think differently about illustrating and image making in general.

Please have a look below, and make sure you select HD ~!

The two below were a struggle, the one above was a joy. 

Funny how that works.

More visual brainstorming for a personal project.

Nearly bit off more than I could chew on this one above,

Now I know why I don't usually detail so much ...

A few quick paints from post-it sketches:

Okay, more soon ! Thanks for dropping by !

Thrown to the Wind

A rejected cover illustration, wish it had ended better but, I don't know ... I still like it.

I've also compiled a raw format of the PSD to Refuge, So if anyone is curious to see the process it has every step used in the final product. Click!
