Clowning around...
Designing some zombie circus freaks/workers for a friend's game.
I feel that the original version is a little too girly and is just weird and not in the good way. So I changed some things up a little. It's still in the ugly phase, so...
The clown, making some things more simple for the team to model, I decided to put most of the details in the texture and color of the character.
A few ideas for the zombies for the game project, some are deemed too complicated for the current student team to model in a short period of time.

Concept thumbnails and then some
Today marks the official day that ends my career as a student. To be honest, I'm afraid of the unknown future. I know I got a lot of work to do before I can stand up tall in this field. Not only did I get a late start on concept design and illustration, I started off as an anime artist originally. Reflecting on my past 3 years, my style practically flipped from what it used to be, and not only that I'm taking the chance, and finally face environments. I'm still very afraid of completing any particular piece as it was the main issue form the last portfolio review.
This summer, I would like to see how far I can push myself, and catch up to the guys in the industry.
I'd like to...
More developed version of the frog palace from last week.

I'd like to...
- Finish at least 2 pieces of work, I mean really polish them.
- Study the anatomy of everything.
- Work with color and lights.
- Re-make my online portfolio site.
A couple of quick random concept thumbnails.

Quick concept brainstorming session
A bout almost two years ago, me and a couple friends started this concept brainstorming session. Each session consists of several rounds of quick firing concept development topics. The topics includes random combination of words and scenarios, and our job is to create some sort of conceptual output on paper within a given time. When time is up, we share our works to each other and give/receive feedback.
Each set is done within 20-25 minutes.
1 & 2: Obtaining Tim-burtonesque Train
3 & 4: Deserted, conflict with a god, fireplace
5 & 6: Frog, fish out of water, industrial

Carnelian: Winter Newt
The Winter newt is usually found in the northern region’s
forests. They hunt by attracting prey with its spine and tail. Because
of the scarcity of the food resource in the winter, their prey generally
consists of small games. Their tails releases poisonous spores that
paralyze its prey, because of this, often children of the northern region
would fall victim to its spores. The poison can only be cured by using
a winter newt spore sac.

Carnelian: Korre nomad settlement & Almai settlement
The nomad settlement:
The look of the nomad's houses seems to be what I had in mind, but I'm not sure if I am a fan of the location...

Carnelian: Korre Fire Sisters
The Fire Sisters
Impala, Protea, and Mundii are mercenaries as well as fire dancers. They are originally from the tribe of Korre which primarily dwells in/on water.
When their village was destroyed, the surviving Korre become nomadic. Some re-settled near new bodies of water, but the rest travels as performers. The three sisters are fire dancer in the troupe, but their act is just a front for their merc business.
(Yes, these were the "Valkyries" I wanted to do a while back, some of you might have seen the silhouettes before. I wanted to take on the Valkyries in a different direction :D )

Study: Cate Blanchett (2hrs)
There are a few actress/actors whose looks I really love, Cate is one of them.
No matter which movie she is in, I enjoy each and everyone of her role :)
So I decided to do some painting studies as I've actually not worked with color for quite a while.
This is actually the 2nd version, the first version was scrapped because I just really couldn't stand it, and I know it was not going the way it should, so instead of finishing then re doing, I just scrapped it to start over.
My painting however, the more I look at it, the less it looks like Cate anymore. Maybe it's just me.
