ROME
(Sparkypants Studios) This was a strategy game where I had the opportunity to try different visual styles. For visual influences I looked at ancient carvings and statues as well as modern artists such as Eduard Visan, Geoffroy Moneyron, and Satoshi Matsuura. Most of this work was done in Procreate and Photoshop.
A concept for a mounted unit.
Two characters with little back stories.
Exploring very different looks to see what the design team liked.
An archer concept.
For the art style I was looking at photos as well as some stylized art in the Greek and Roman styles.
Exploring some different treatments of the same silhouette.
A sort of grunt footsoldier.
This was another take on the basic soldier.
Roughed out some 3D assets and textures to see how the concepts might translate into a 3D game environment.
Planning out how we might add details to the map. Some would be functional like bridges and others would be stylistic and just detail.
