Photoshop brushwork…

Found these on an old thumb drive, thought I’d show them for no particular reason…these are concepts for loading screens…the filler artwork that appears behind the progress bar – something to while away the time waiting for the Xbox to load the next game level.

Even while I was doing these, I kind of knew they’d never be used. It’s sort of inevitable at the end of the day that we’d go with the actual game models, instead of a sketch – so much goes into the 3D characters – it’s sort of silly not to show them all rendered up and sweetened. But! It was a chance to try some texture brushes, and test out a speed painting approach…
