The Order: 1886, Pre Viz Art

 Here are the first couple of pre viz paintings that I did for The Order back in 2010.

This pre-production painting is a combination of the top two images.  The details we taken a little further in order to be used in the initial game pitch video that was shown to Sony.

Whitechapel Lycan Concepts

Quick tone sketches of Lycan in human form, before transformation.  

Final concept

Human character portrait, and with effects.  The head is based on a 3D head scan that I manipulated in ZBrush, then painted over in Photoshop.

 Lycan portrait after transformation.  Lycan design and sculpt by Tobias Kwan, Adam Skutt and Jordu Schell.

Thanks for looking!

Finally, some sketchy stuff to put on this so-called sketch blog in the New Year.  Here is a sketch that I did for a fan that was one of the winners of Playstation's Road To Greatness Tour.  It was fun drawing him up as an honorary Knight of The Order.

You can check out his full story here: Video

Thanks for looking, Happy New Year!  Hope to post more soon.

Here's another visual development sketch done early on in the project.

Thanks.

The Order: 1886 - Key Art

This is a tone sketch done while we we're developing the look of last year's teaser poster for E3.

       Here's an early piece that I did a few years ago when Ready at Dawn was just starting to develop the look of the game.  If you're not up to speed, we were the featured story in the November issue of Game Informer. You can find a lot of info on the studio and the game from the main page here.  Also, I was lucky enough to work on the cover art for that issue, check out the final version here!  The cover features characters conceptualized by me and my concept brethren, Tobi and Mike (Mike did the inked logo on the GI cover as well), and also features some Photoshop magic from Steven "Chicago" Wen.

       I hope to post more art and/or links in the near future.  There's a lot of content done by a lot of talented artists, so stay tuned.
