Save Bunnies

(Sparkypants Studios) This game went through many iterations. While working on Save Bunnies I developed several art styles from fun and cartoony to more dark and realistic and even a MAD MEN inspired theme. Many of the characters I mocked up in 3D and played around with in Unity. The environments were interesting as well having to act as puzzles with various keys and consoles.

Here I took a pass at exploring a range of visual styles for the main character.

Here's a more cartoony take. The whole team brainstormed ideas and sketches to come up with the themes for each child.

Design wanted to try a Breakfast Club type vibe so I made this test.

A simple 3D scene with some characters and furniture I modeled and textured.

I did this mockup to test out some saturation of the lighting and desaturating of the environment.

Testing a 3/4 view.

A test of the characters in a hallway environment .

I did this to test the readability of the different pipes and wires that connected the puzzles.

Trying a slightly darker tone/lighting.

This shows how I quickly mocked up these characters in 3DS Max with some heads I sculpted in Zbrush.

This is an older lineup sketch with some Office Space influence. "That'd be great."

Here I was testing other characters in a more extreme stylized look.

Here's a brighter, grownup, more hopeful take on the characters.

Here I was trying out a more realistic 80s style with some iconic style influences from that time period.
