I did this in my Sketching for Entertainment class with Will Westont. It was fun researching different pirate products and toys and then putting it all together in a stylized picture
After getting inspired by finishing God of War( I know I'm late with the gaming, blame Art Center) I wanted to create a mythic creature. Using crabs and spiders for reference I wanted to combine crab with a slasher type monster. I wanted the silhouette to be a angular menacing shape from the instant I saw it. Enjoy
I did these while in Fabians Entertainment Design class. One design idea I like is the merging of of mech with insect. I think some of the best design ideas are the merging of nature with tech.
Mushroom world. A environment over run with mercury and overgrown fungi plantation I did a lot of research before painting the scene. I was aiming to get the feeling of that opening scene of when Neo first sees the real world. I imagined in my scene mushroooms and fungi have overgrown the size of cities. In this cloudy dead world a new type of plantation has grown over. The Mercury river runs through the ground the sediment deposits. It has just rained and the view is crisp with no clouds for miles.
