YOU'RE ODD - Pepper In The Sandbox Key Art/Visual Development

Pepper getting singled out by the gang at the playground.

So I've been working on this piece for a while. Realized that playgrounds are harder to draw than expected, I started with a 3D base that I made in Maya that rendered out and drew on top of. 

I made this as a practice for bringing something to a "tight" and "finished" quality. It also served as practice for painting on top of a 3D model and have the end product look as if it was all just painted. I think I did an OK job but I could've done a better job hiding some other elements.

Here's the GIF of the process and the stages that underwent.

An Updated Inventory UI

Ya'll hey!

Here's an updated version of the inventory UI that I made. It's a little sci-fi-ish compared to what I have in mind but I wanted to start somewhere.

Trying Out Some UI

Haven't done user interface type of work before and thought that I would try it out. Below are some experiments on how the UI will look if they were put in a made up game that I previously painted.

The Mess Hall

Here I am... The Mess Hall. The last place I saw nobody.

A piece inspired by some Last of Us and Uncharted concept art. It was fun photobashing images around and then mixing them up with a little of painting here and there. Some 3D was also used as a base for the structure and the mushrooms.

A Mech That's A Priest That Focuses On Religion? Where Has Science Taken Us!?!?

You guys ever think that the robots would be so smart that they start making their own religions because of the complex algorithms that they would eventually and ultimately come to the absurd conclusion that there is a higher force governing their very lives?

Because I don't. Who would think of something like that?
