TLOTLL: Finally!rough Gloria Concept piece. (EDIT: new art 17/04/05)

DanClarke · Sat 12/03/2005 00:51:44

well it's been too long, but as ive said in the game production section I'm finally getting back to some sort of progress with the game. Here's a rough tablet sketch i did of the Main character (she's called gloria in case some of you may have forgotten. The plan is to clean it up and colour it up. Ill keep progress posted:

Krazy · Sat 12/03/2005 01:33:46

Looks great, can't really say any crits though until I see the cleaned up version

Snarky · Sat 12/03/2005 01:57:05

Looks good, but considering we've already seen Gloria in several screenshots, as well as your avatar, isn't it a bit late for concept art?

DanClarke · Sat 12/03/2005 02:06:49

yeah i guess 'concept' was the wrong word really, lets just stick to art then.

DanClarke · Sun 20/03/2005 00:52:56

Did a rough sketch with the tablet then just gave it a quick colour.

Wow, she looks alot older. In the previous sketchs and works I was thinking she was 10 or 12, but here she looks 14. I like the change, it will go well with the game, cant wait to see it finished. Only crit is the shadow on shirt rightbelow the strap on the left how it juts out, doesnt appear natural.

Yeah, i know what you mean, i did try to blow the size of the boots and the hat up a little to make them look as if they drowned her slightly, but she does look older.

As for the shadowing, there's a lot not quite right, the shadow on her right sleeve should really be on the left of the sleeve seeing as theoretically the lightsource is coming from the right. But as i said it was just a quick colour so i'm not too bothered. I'm working on a new BG too, so ill get the progress up for that soon and perhaps even make a tutorial if people would be interested enough?

NICE. I've been loving the stuff you've been doing for this game that I've seen so far -- it's SO close to what I'd like to be doing for one of the games I'm trying to work on. A tutorial of what you do would be just DANDY.

As far as the sketch, well, I find that her face ha changed shape a bit, and that helps make her look significantly older, too.

Scummbuddy · Sun 20/03/2005 20:26:14

come on people. how can you all expect a girl around that age to not look significantly different after a year without updates. Shes a year older now... she'll look different.

and yes, I would really like to see a tutorial on your backgrounds.

LMAO, yeah yeah i can take the digs :p good things come to those who wait i say! im working on a way to make how i do the BGs and techniques i use etc.

DanClarke · Sat 26/03/2005 01:33:55

BG is coming along nicely, although can somebody point me in the direction of a BG tutorial that was created previously so i can get an idea of structuring etc?

Got bored today, so i did another quick sketch with the tablet. Bit cheesy i know lol:

Shane 'ProgZmax' Stevens · Sat 26/03/2005 04:57:02

Nice work as always, Dan..One thing I suppose you could try (if you want to make her look younger) is make her eyes a bit larger and round her face a bit more. Looks fine as is, though ;>

auhsor · Mon 28/03/2005 06:35:39

Hehe nice. I love all of your art. It's really very good. The biggest difference for your pixel are I see is in the face. Just the eyes and the mouth.

DanClarke · Sat 16/04/2005 22:55:51

Ive been doing some sketcvhes for reference as I'm currently tinkering with the walk cycle, so i needed some side on drawings to make sure she looked right. Here's one oif them, which i coloured and added some lighting.

Comments welcome.

P.S: I just realised the hat lines behind her ear are a bit crappy, i was meaning to finish them but i forgot, doh! :p

P.P.S: The style doesnt really represent how she looks in game, i just like messing with different styles when i sketch, as you may know.

DanClarke · Tue 19/04/2005 00:46:42

anyone? $:-\$

The only problem I see is that the hair on the other side of her face looks as if its growing off her chin.

Al_Ninio · Tue 19/04/2005 01:00:07

It's a really nice piece overall.

(And the hair on the other side looks fine to me).
Two crits, though:
The ear is set a bit too high up, should be from about the top of the eyes to the bottom of the nose.
Also, the shape of the eye is... Weird. Looks like it's been rotated 90Â°.
Awesome line work, btw.

erm...i cant say i really see that myself lol.

Al_ninio, i see what you mean about the ear, but i think ill just put that down to a slight head tilt rather than anything else :p and im quite happy with the eye

Id quite like to do a full piece in this style, perhaps ill make some sort of promotional poster once the games closer to completion
