Botcon

Getting ready for Botcon tomorrow, here's a few more screenshots from the upcoming Revenge of the Fallen game.


This is a police car character I designed, Car #56 - my high school football number! Hopefully tomorrow I'll find out the official names for all these guys.


This is an F-18 Seeker character, the design I turned just had him painted the plain Navy gray, but we were trying to get Seeker colors, looks like Luxoflux - the developer - came through with this one painted purple and black to look like Skywarp.


And another of my characters turned to plastic, the little forklift guy from the first game gets released to the toy aisles tomorrow - go out and get him!

All right folks, wish me luck, I have meetings with IDW and Hasbro tomorrow to get more Transformers work!

Go to IGN.com to see more screenshots and videos for the game!

Concept Art - APC 02

Here's a couple of failed attempts at getting this APC drawing started.
This is kind of a hard one to find the angle for, this view omits some of the back end I wanted to show, and the wheels are just terrible. Scrapped.
So then I went with a tried and true vehicle technique (that I now feel dumb for not just starting with) and placed the wheels on a flat horizon line, and created the angles with the templates I had. Start that way every time, kids. But, again the wheels are wonky, and the sizes aren't quite right, and the body is sitting a little too high, so....scrapped.

But this is pretty close, so I'll do an overlay and redraw the setup, and take it to finish.

Here's the final.

And a comp of Rider and Bike just hanging out.

Concept Art - Scout 04

Here's the grayscale block-in for the scout bike. Some more detailing, then it's ready to go to the next step...

Concept Art - Scout Rider 04

Final. It's fairly monochromatic, I'm going for a more beat-down Road Warrior type look, like these guys are out in the wilderness of the front for a looooong time.

Concept Art - Scout Rider 03

Here's the blocked in grayscale for the rider of the Scout Bike. You can see I mixed and matched the sketches a bit to get to the final design.

Now on to the detailing and colors...

Concept Art - Striker 03

And here is the marker comp for this one...
