Concepts Round 1 - Silhouettes & Thumbnails

This week, I was assigned to work with a wonderful group on an illustration idea featuring Carnacki and Fantomah. So far, an additional character for this includes the Crowned Hog, who is a villain. We were assigned to do thumbnails for our characters, and this week we chose to focus on the Crowned Hog so we could flesh him out. These are the thumbnails I created:

Bringing It All Together - Illustration 2nd Pass

As a conclusion to our two week assignment in creating an illustration based off of a story, with our own twist, this is the final result for my piece on The Cask of Amontillado.

This week, I had to make a first pass at an illustration for the story I chose, "The Cask of Amontillado", with my own twist.

Bake Maps and Digital Painting for a Prop

This week, I was able to digitally paint my cannon from the past week.

This is before painting it in Substance Painter:

This was the final result after painting it:

Story Choice

The story I chose to recreate is Edgar Allan Poe's The Cask of Amontillado.

Basic Lighting

This week, I had to take a picture of an object I had and create three point lighting, then recreate it as a painting. I chose my Garnet figurine from Steven Universe. This was the original image:

This is the end result:

UV and Digital Sculpting for a Prop

This week, I UV'ed last week's cannon.

After doing so, I created a high poly version of the cannon.

I then converted to smooth mesh.

Finally, I took the cannon into ZBrush and sculpted a few more accents, then exported it as a .obj file.
