Game Poster 1

So a few people asked why haven't I been updating? Besides working a freelance gig (which I cannot post about yet) I have been working on several materials for an independent project of mine. Short of it is I'm making an indie game and when I'm not occupied with the current freelance job I try and force myself to be productive with the independent project writing the design doc, doing character designs, working story out, etc.

I plan to use kick starter, its a great website where people can put up their unfinished creative projects for funding and sponsorship by anyone. Of course its expected the generous donators be compensated and as such I've been working on some promotional material for the lower tier donations, which in this case is some posters. I don't have my project up yet but since I know there's other artists who read my blog, you might want to check it out! Kickstarter!

Here's the first two stages of the first poster.

 

This poster was going to take a lot longer than the second poster because it has so many more elements to it. Most of all it has the main characters and some of the game related props. So in this stage I worked out a general composition as I worked through the designs.

Now everyone's drawn in and the composition is practically done. May need some minor tweaking. Then it's on to the part that really brings it together. Color. I'll need to settle the color choices of the characters and elements so that they work in the image's arrangement and then hash out an approach that will give the coloring style a vibrant feeling, which will probably mean modifying my brushes and layering things for a certain effect.

But the colors aren't done yet so for now here's just a little taste of the hero's color palette.
