Pearl Diver

Here is another project done here at work. It was fun working with new subject matter: underwater. I did most of the environments, the title screen, logo, icon, character design, and general art direction. Here is a link to the game on iTunes It's free so no excuses. The game is also getting a serious revamp in the coming weeks so check back then.

Anatomy of a Character design: ScaleO

Character Name: ScaleO (Pronounced: Scaly-O)
Use: From Sale Ella a super hero inspired animation about scale and proportion.
Description/requirements given: I was told to do a visual design for a small statured, tights wearing super villain, who is also a magic dwarf. Character is brash and nasty. Character needs to to be easy to animate and be reproducible by other artists of various skill levels.
Process:This was my first attempt at creating a character strictly out of shapes. All my previous work had been done with lines that defined everything. As far a animation went the lack of line art helped keep thing easy to animate and thus gave the animation a cleaner look. The downside would have to be that I'm not used to constructing characters out of shapes so there was a bit of a learning curb.
