Project Kefka - Sabien Exploration

So my friends and I started working on a 2D fighting game in unity last month. We are trying to come up with and finalize ideas on characters. Currently we have four characters in the works to of which are more are less done esthetically

This was an expansion on the thumbnail below. This fighter is a magic user with a "great sword". For this round I am straight interpreting a great sword as a literal sword. So I was toying around with what the sword might look like. I'm not really digging any of the swords at the moment.


 This was the first thumb of one of the fighters I did. I liked the large ornamental headpiece.


These are some exploration sketches to look for a new body. Of the sketches below I liked number one, eight, and thirteen the most. The more I feel out the fighter the more I lean towards a top heavy character with some kind of shroud wrapping around the shoulders like eight.




If you would like to see the other fighters for this project you can find them at my friends portfolio blog. >> here <<

Chibi Guardian Angel


  I started a project the day before last to create Chibi conversions of females I consider to be heroes from games and movies, with some relatively small design alterations. The character below is based on a character that isn't really a hero but she has saved my life more than once. She is the Guardian of the Gateless!
  It's been a while since I modeled. So while I was thumbnailing I thought why not model these as well? I'm not totally happy with with the model yet. The hands, legs, and feet in particular. I think I might change those bits to be more like bubbly not sure.
  I've been toying with a few different color schemes but I still do not know what I'm going to do. I would like an analogous purple, or perhaps gold black and white?

Triumph of Ferocity Redesign August 11

At the Wizards of the Coast grand prix in Portland the other day and was having a chat with a lady about the portrayal of Liliana and Garruk. She thought the design of the storytelling was lazy. So I got to thinking, how else could that cards name be interpreted? Here are my first couple of ideas on the phrase.

Working sketches for a redesign of the magic the gathering card "Triumph of Ferocity"
