new concept art


I know it looks cartoony, shut up!!!!!!

Team presentation

I think our presentation went quite well considering I wasn’t very confidant with what I was going to talk about, I personally think I did ok when it came to be my time to talk about the stories I had been researching, although Joe (team leader) knows more about this subject than me, I talked about Thor (the god not the stupid marvel character) and the story of his death and who he was and what he did, I think our team was reasonably well prepared even though we made some last minute preparations just before we started talking , I cant help but think that I would have been more confident if I did a different subject because I don’t much like Norse mythology, our audience asked a few questions about the subjects which I think we were able to answer well enough because we answered all available questions so I assume that, I have done presentations in front of this class room before so I wasn’t nervous but I did think I would run out of things to say about Norse mythology but luckily when I asked if there were any questions people seemed fine with what I had said and the questions I had answered, not everyone in our team was prepared as ¼ of the team didn’t bother, but it doesn’t matter things went better than I anticipated so I have no regrets.

TRAILER PLOT

Elizabeth Krasivaya – main character – a serial killer with one hand how was imprisoned in the facility and only works with others for her own selfish reason.

Dr L. crosgrove - one of to scientists, who did perform experiments on the inmates of the prison.

Dr cyka – another scientists how is slowly driven insane by the situation, a cowardly person how only survived by leaving his friends behind.

Doug – another serial killer how survives but isn’t as reluctant to help the others as he enjoys being in the overrun facility

The trailer stars with a sweeping shot of a river that leads to a dam then the camera pans out for a large view of the dam, then it goes black as a scream is heard then the camera is pointed at the main character as she wakes up suddenly in her cell, Dr crosgrove begins to commentate over what is happening on screen and tries to justify his research and the tests performed on the prison inmates and claims that the mutated monsters that he unleashed are nothing compared to the monster that were already there (the prison inmates, who are all serial killers). He then goes on to explain why the facilities is there and what they do, as he is explaining this the camera goes trough corridors in the facility, the vision of the camera will flicker from normal to the corridor covered in blood with dead bodies everywhere, then the camera then cuts to a montage of Doug playing in blood, Elizabeth killing things and random monsters the montage is played with music to suit the theme of murdering things and people screaming. At the end of the trailer the camera follows and then zooms in on Elizabeth’s face which is scared as creepy music is played as she smiles and then steps backwards into the shadows and the trailer ends.

character concept

These are just some quick character concept ideas we have the personality decided upon but so I quickly came up with, I'm happy with the ideas but the colours are a little to bright but there meant to be simplistic so the colours will be darker in the game, i will have to show these to the rest of my team and see if they hate them or not, I quickly sketch the main character out and scanned it into photo shop and cleaned it up.
the arm attachments are basically explained as you can see, THIS IS NOT THE FINAL DESIGN an I want to get constructive ideas from my team. I tried different colours on the prison jumpsuit, because our character is in a underground prison facility.
