Theme: Concept Pages

Ryan and I thought it might be fun to take some of the items from the Legacy AET Items list and each sketch a mock-up index page or two.

Benefits of this exercise may include: actual item art, page layout ideas, sore thumbs sticking out, less work later.

Updated Tower

Here is an updated version of the tower.

Can you find the hiding band of Elven Assasins?

Playing around...

Here is an idea that I have been playing with for the last few weeks.  Its very rough and still needs some work, but its coming along nicely.

*Krshk* is something burning? *pshrk*

Finally got around to doing something new... Got a few good skill ideas from Final Fantasy Tactics too, actually... More on that later.

Artrage...

Just bought me a copy and this is my first experiment... not exactly what I was shooting for, but giving the dude a sword makes it more tolerable.

THAT DOES NOT COMPUTE

A week late, a dollar short, and clawing it's way up the slopes of the uncanny valley, here's my contribution.

Also, I hate the drawing of hair. In any form. From a well. From the J-trap in the bathtub. Pretty much anywhere. My pencil is always too big for it and my patience is always too small, stretched taught like a flying squirrel's armpits so as to make it difficult not to emote with wooden and graphitic projectiles.

To pencil marks on walls everywhere, and may you never have them!

Chris.

Sword Conjurer

Not much, I know, but I thought I'd better post something before the week was up...

Mystical Power...

This was an experiment I did.  I drew a small sketch of this on a mini sticky note and then used that as the basis of this.

Free Draw Week

Wherein we draw what we will.

Might be getting somewhere...

I've got these great ideas for some tech fortress type stuff, but for some reason they're very slow in coming out. This one seems a little closer, maybe one of these times.

a little less tech and a little more fortress...

Most of this was technically done last week, but since I've continued to mess with it so much this week I might as well post it. I'm still planning on putting up something new, but for what it's worth, here's this thing.

Last Week's Techno Fortress

Here's my humble offering from last week. Not particularly thrilled with them, but here they are none the less.

Nothing particularly inspiring. Naturally, the names and numbers of the people whose software I have been working on have been redacted. It will be nice to work with pencils again. I'm about sick of pens and lined paper.

Tech Fortress...

I was shooting for something a little simpler and less freaky-deaky, but this works too...

Staging Area

Here is my first submission as part of our renewed effort to post sketches and other art related material for AET.  It is a sketch of a vehicle repair / staging area set at night in a mountain valley.  Its nothing super special but was more just an exploration of some ideas that I had.
