More Concepts!*

Hey, guys. Here's my concept bundle I did in my last graduate class: Concept Design in Sequential Art. Nolan Woodard, our professor, made it a great class where our studio mantra was 'idea over execution'. So here's what I produced (for the most part).

Character Design



This character who I call a 'MoonClan' creature was joy to create. From the weapons and why he has bandages on his body, it's probably the most 'visually' invested character to date.

The idea was this once peaceful creature is now bent on vengeance after it's home was burned down by an industrial civilization trying to uproot the forest for their concrete city. The bandages are due to burns afflicted during the foreigners deforestation.

The part I enjoyed the most was the weapons. The most prized of them all is the 'organic shield' where it creates a special bond with its host defending it even if the host is not aware of an attack.

Vehicle Designs


These two vehicles above were derived from a story I created entitled Heran Koles. It was a story of a world-renowned hunter forced to hunt mythical creatures for the exchange of his family that was kidnapped by a world-class criminal. The first place Heran goes is the swampland of Louisiana, where, the dangerous Hydra was known to be found. The vehicle on the top is Heran's vehicle, equipped with an enormous spear gun and cage. The vehicle below are the native's means of transportation. The part I'm most proud of is the wood texture that I made by making a brush in Photoshop.

Environment Designs




These environments are my first real steps into environmental concept design. The first 3 environments were both located in Sequoia National Park where the enormous Redwood trees are found. I figured if there were any trees that can be lived in (arboreal) it would be these.

The last environment was part of the Heran Koles story. This the nest of the mythical creature Hydra found probably in an uncharted part of the swamp.
