LCAD demo: Castle Interior

The second assignment for my Advanced Drawing class is a design of a Castle or Dungeon Interior.  I used a recent drawing as a base for my demo.  I made it more ancient/mystical and weathered.  This is a layout of an exploration space for game play similar to the Uncharted series.

Urban Environment LCAD class demo

This is done for my Advanced Drawing for Game class at Laguna College of Art + Design.  Assignments mostly include environments, but also Prop Design, Call out drawings and some characters.  The first assignment was to design a present day urban environment.  I demonstrated my process of research, thumbnail drawing, lighting and digital painting.  The theme is loosely based on The Last of Us.

Kazone Art Academy class demo: Fantasy setting

This is done for my Visual Development for Animation class at Kazone Art Academy.  I demonstrated my process of research, thumbnail drawing and digital painting.  I studied Gothic cathedrals and fantasy castles.  The subject of this scene is based on Minas Tirith, in LOTR.
