Orcs Must Die! 2 assets...

The Wheel of Time Trolloc Gear

About a year or 2 ago I created an illustration of a Trolloc based on Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time novels. I've been meaning to model this critter since then... figured its about time to get started. I decided to begin by knocking out his weapons... the character is up next.

Max\Zbrush were used for the models... Color added using Photoshop

 

Orcs Must Die! Characters, Weapons, and Traps...

Here are a few of the assets I created for Orcs Must Die!

Karyn

A few weeks ago a friend of mine asked me to create a FB avatar for her. Since I enjoy the Fantasy genre I naturally decided to turn her into an elf... which she wasn't quite expecting BUT thankfully she loved it and I enjoyed creating it.

a Soldier

This past Christmas Holiday my aunt snail mailed me a black and white wallet sized photo of my Dad from 1965. It was his US Army Basic Training graduation photo. I decided to take illustrating it for a test drive.

Given it was black and white, no Flag depicted in the photo, and overall a fairly poor quality pic I had to roll up my sleeves and do some home work. I researched the uniform hues, my Dad's MOS insignia (Military Occupational Specialty... ie... his job), and other aspects in an attempt to breathe life and authenticity into the final illustration. Admittedly, omitting Old Glory would have been more authentic however more modern military graduation photos have the Flag as a backdrop... so I decided to add it for color\detail interest.

Overall this was a very fun\special personal project. Hope you dig it!

Critter style study...

This is a critter that I created within Zbrush for an art style study we were doing at Robot Entertainment. We started out realistic and then were directed to push the style a bit.

Orcs Must Die! Kobold Creature... First Pass Version...

I created this version of OMD!'s Kobold early in the game's development while we were R&D'ing the look of the game. At the time we were going for a more realistic look. This critter was based on a concept by Brad Crow and Nate Stefan. Once I finished up this version of the Kobold I went on to Age of Empires Online to finish up their units. Chris Moffit finished up the OMD! critter R&D and landed on what you see by the latest, and final, image releases of the game. The team settled upon a look that is much more stylized. I think the final, more playful, look fits the overall vibe of the game much much better!
