New version of the cover art. Been doing a little work. Added more detail to the dashboard and more depth to the asteroids in the midground. Cleaned and sharpened up edges.

This is the design for my board game's play area, both for the final and the print and play versions. These were done in both Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.



And here is the finished box art for my board game. This was done in both Adobe Photoshop and InDesign.

Board Game Alpha




This is the original concept for my board game's box cover. Just a simple pencil sketch.

Board Game Concept

Not sure what I want my game mechanics to be yet but I think I have finally decided on a theme. My idea is a futuristic drag race.

This is the color scheme I'm going with for now:

Catchphrase(?): 
The Dice Hoarding Game

Made a nice phoenix with a combination of Photoshop and Flame Painter
I'm not all that good at concept art, but here is my concept for a water-filled alien space station for 3d class. Done in Photoshop.

Print and play exploration

My friend and I played a print and play game this weekend called Shattered Olympus. Overall it was a decent game, but I found the artistic aspect of it a little lacking. The illustrations on the playing cards weren't a consistent style. Some cards had beautiful paintings while others had cheesy cartoons. The game is sort like magic the gathering, except you purchase cards from the "store" which is off to the side of the play area. You then put the purchased card into play in a 5 by 9 grid. You can move a card in the grid once every turn and the object is to kill the opponent's hero card that he started out with. Below is a link to the game in case any of you would like to play it.

My character concept from Traditional Animation class!

Grunt

My Grunt concept from last semester.

Favorite Game Trailer


This is probably my all time favorite game trailer. Right from the start it gets you intrigued in the new story. Even if you know nothing about Warcraft lore and have no idea who Illiden is, this trailer explains just enough to get a new player fascinated and a veteran player ecstatic. It introduces the new zone and playable races, as well as showing off some of the previous races for the new players.
