Global Games Jam 2012 Finished

2012-01-29T23:43:00.000-08:00

Just finished Global Games Jam last night.
GGJ happens all over the world and you have a task of creating a prototype for a game in 48 hours.

Our team worked on a game called 'The Labotanist' and a working version of this game will be up soon.

Read description + more info about GGJ http://globalgamejam.org/2012/labotanist
Theme was Ouroboros (A snake eating its own tail)

We only had one Scripte/ Coder in our team so we had to make the whole game based on what he could manage in that time. We felt quite sorry for him as he was glued to his pc trying to make it all work. I think he slept for less than 5 hours in those 3 days.

But it all worked out at the end and we were all very pleased with the result.

Responsibilities:

I was responsible for the Concept art for the level. I sketched 3 different ideas and then tightened up one of them for the promotional side of the game. I was also responsible for the HUD of this game and I painted 6 icons depicting different flowers which a player can use in the game.

I was also tasked up with painting 3 different hd images for the storyline and this was done in the last 3 hours of the game. I had already burned myself out by this point as I only slept for around 4 hours in the previous 3 days, but I tried my best.

I also painted the place holders for the text which was displayed when the a player hovered over the icons. A background was painted and then 6 different version were created with text on them.

The ground plane seen within the game was also my responsibility and was painted as a 2d top-down plane. A lot of back and forth had to be done to get this plane right.

In-Game Screenshots:

I learnt alot through this project, mainly about myself and would definitely recommend everyone to take part if you're given the opportunity.

Long description because i'm still super excited about this event.
I'm really proud of all the hard work that went into creating this event and would like to thank the organisers, my team and everyone who made this event a wonderful highlight for 2012.

48 hours 6 members in a team. The whole world taking part at the same time. We had big projectors randomly displaying feeds from the rest of the world and we also had our own webcam feeding the event live to the world.

Worth every single minute of it.
Bring on 2013....

SSS Test

2011-11-24T03:43:00.000-08:00

On my way to achieving my goals I come across SSS. This one really does help your skin look realistic.

SSS = Sub Surface Scattering

The polypaint version above was just a quick painted model, I need to paint it again to get the result that I want.

Testing R2

Quick colour study

2011-10-12T10:59:00.000-07:00

Busy with uni work again but more than keen on getting a high grade this year. Feel exhausted already.

Less than 2 hours I think on this one.

Image from flickr.com

Been some time, no updates...

2011-09-12T17:07:00.000-07:00

I haven't had a chance to upload anything for sometime now so i'll add everything in one go.

This is a cover art I designed for my sister's book called High Rise.

This was a warm up painting which didn't take too long to paint.

The anatomy is off I know but I didn't use any ref so i'm happy.

Scratch and Earn at use.

Scratch and Earn environment speedpainting. Started as a warm up sketch but then I carried on painting over it.

Video can be seen on my channel.

This one is my latest finished concept and it started as using my scratch and earn technique.

I painted this one for ConceptWorld's bi-weekly contest themed Vibrant Sky.

This is about a city above a city in the future where everyone uses hoover like tumblers to commute to and from work.

Sketched for CGtalk's daily sketch challenge.

Theme was 'The Old Wounded'

Apart from this life's good. I'm flying off to Lithuania soon and when I come back I start my last year in uni. Excited.

Heavy Metal Character

2011-08-01T15:54:00.001-07:00

Finished this zbrush sculpt yesterday. Zbrush kept crashing on me so I couldn't pose it. I think it was something to do with the dress being too dense.

System Connected CW entry

2011-07-31T15:54:00.000-07:00

This is my entry for Concept World's bi-weekly challenge. I was busy with the zbrush work that I almost didn't make it in time.

WIP can be seen on my DA gallery http://gdsworld.deviantart.com/#/d42a3iz .

The least time I have to spent on a concept the better it looks to me.

2011-07-25T16:06:00.001-07:00

I was working on this for a competition but for some reason they ended the competition early and I couldn't get it in.

It Sucks!

2011-07-23T21:11:00.001-07:00

Just for fun!

2011 Apprentice winner

2011-07-17T16:30:00.000-07:00

Cher Lloyd

2011-07-13T20:59:00.000-07:00

Don't know where the time went but its like 5 in the morning.

Lets go to bed.

Update

2011-06-10T14:58:00.000-07:00

Since the last update i've finished my second year at uni, and added a few nice pieces to my portfolio. I've also updated this blog layout and the background, hope you like it now. I'm also trying to get my head around dreamweaver and soon the website will be updated too.

Last 7 days

2011-01-23T14:35:00.000-08:00

Some of my work from the last 7 days (Well all of it). Love the middle one.

2010-11-30T13:46:00.000-08:00

Hey guys i'm currently working on a Game project with my uni friends.

I made this logo + a few other concepts some of which you can find on my DA page.

Been away for a while.

2010-08-10T15:00:00.001-07:00

Here is some more 3d concepts from me.

Busy busy busy

2010-05-05T13:17:00.001-07:00

Way too busy with my uni deadlines. I want to make the most of it but its just too much to take in.

Not much done lately but I'll upload the half track I made for uni project and the concept sofa-jacket.

Colour Studies

2010-04-25T14:15:00.000-07:00

Colour studies dump, credits to the photographers. I own nothing.

I really do think these help you judge colours better. That yellow you see in an image is not really yellow!

WIP character and a speedy....

2010-04-09T14:40:00.000-07:00

This uni work is getting on my nerves now, here's a little update.

Just finished this piece of after spending 5 hours on it.

I love it! NO joke...

The lovely bones: Fan art WIP

2010-03-10T15:00:00.000-08:00

Seen one of the wallpapers from the new Lovely Bones movie and I love the colours used in this piece so I decided to repaint it all in the name of art. No tracing and no colour picking allowed.

I also used a few other stock from DA to put a personal touch to this piece.

Still in progress....3 hours spent on this so far.

Half-track half-modelled

2010-03-08T15:37:00.000-08:00

I chose a half-track for my uni project this semester, the theme was WWII and I thought it would be a great challenge to model half-track. Have you seen the detail on this render? OMG its neat yo!

Speedpainting video 20 min

2010-02-23T13:11:00.000-08:00

Warm up sketch, this time I was practicing depth and scale.

I'm still not sure if I should upload this to youtube or not, I'll think about it later. Enjoy! ;)

Wish it were home

2010-02-18T10:00:00.000-08:00

Still in progress, spend 1 and a half hours on this so far, I like the way its turning out but I can't decide on a colour scheme to keep for this.

Also drawing a sketched version of this for a contest on DA. Hope to get it finished by tomorrow.

Flying city speed painting.

2010-02-16T15:35:00.000-08:00

Two friends went out to explore the world and just when they lost all hope comes the most beautiful view of this flying city and they couldn't believe their eyes.

Painted in under 2 hours. ;)

G-king

2010-02-12T16:01:00.000-08:00

For a change I was really proud of a figure I made out of my head, I hope I keep thinking like this from now onwards.

G-king is a young politician who is hard working but doesn't really care what world thinks about his clothing sense.

Speedy!

2010-02-03T17:00:00.001-08:00

Another cityscape brush I just made.

Could've spent more time on this but I need some serious sleep. Goodnight!

Taj mahal in ruins.

2010-01-31T13:11:00.000-08:00

Managed to get it finished today, I like the concept overall but I know there is a lot of room for improvement in this piece.

Concept World Logo

2010-01-29T16:06:00.000-08:00

Oxyfide

2010-01-24T15:23:00.001-08:00

Spent over an hour on this, I love the mech robot, the concept stage for that mech was really interesting.

I had real fun painting this scene. I'm trying to add more and more depth to every painting i'm sketching at the moment...

Self- Portrait

2010-01-22T16:46:00.001-08:00

Self portrait done quickly in photoshop,

This man looks nothing like me but its my photo never-the-less.

I was smiling in the original photo, though this made it look like someone just stole my burger.

Speedpainting Grey

2010-01-22T16:05:00.000-08:00

Another speedpainting I painted for CGtalks daily sketch challenge.

This time round I've actually recorded a video to show people my process and techniques, even though they suck! Click here .

Yes yes yes. Finally got it!

2010-01-21T13:12:00.001-08:00

My sister just bought me a brand new Bamboo Pen for real!

Its just what I wanted for my b'day which was like 4 months ago. Lol (she's a bit slow)

Expect to see some new stuff soon! :peace:

2010-01-16T16:53:00.000-08:00

Having fun in photoshop, I used Mjranum's stock

Doodling doodles.

2010-01-13T15:34:00.000-08:00

Third World

2010-01-13T15:24:00.000-08:00

I was warming up my Tablet with this image on my desktop but after a few strokes I wanted to carry on working on it. Drawn in under 2 hours.

To be honest I quite like this painting even though the details are missing. ;)

Terminator Salvation fan art

2010-01-10T17:02:00.000-08:00

Terminator Salvation fan art-

Watched TS the other day and couldn't resist painting relevant stuff.

Colour practice mainly on this one.
The face didn't come out right but its cool.

Calm & quite

2010-01-04T10:13:00.000-08:00

Calm & quite, took me 3 hours to paint this, happy with the overall result.

Next time i'll try and not rely much on custom brushes.

2009-12-30T15:31:00.003-08:00

Speed painting for a daily cg challenge, now this one really does suck!

Nanny saves the day!

2009-12-29T12:02:00.001-08:00

Just having fun in Photoshop and obviously practicing.

Need to move and make some 3d stuff for my demo reel. I need one to be able to get a job in my placement year.

Happy New Year to everyone!

Stairs to judgment!

2009-12-27T17:39:00.000-08:00

After browsing Deviantart for a few minutes I found a stunning premade background which I wanted to paint.

At this stage i'm practising lighting and also trying to speed up my photoshop flow.

Bad influence

2009-12-23T10:23:00.001-08:00

Bad influence - about this guy who can see whats right for him but its all in a distance, he wants to be there but his habits pull him back.

Started with 3ds max saved in .tga and made good use of the alpha channels to seperate the background from the objects.

I like the bottom half of this design, the top half, hummm well, not my favourite.

Merry Christmas to you!

2009-12-23T03:44:00.000-08:00

Merry Christmas everyone and have a happy New Year.

I'll see you in 2010. Can't wait. :D

Entrance to Rori Sahib.

2009-12-20T16:30:00.000-08:00

Just finished a clay render of a model I was working on. Its a gift I made for artpunjab group on Deviantart.

I'm not sure when I'm going to texture this model but for now i'm going to leave it as it is.

Probably going to do some speed painting tomorrow.

2009-12-16T09:32:00.000-08:00

Been busy with my uni work, for today i'm just going to upload this car I render quickly in photoshop.

2009-12-11T15:00:00.000-08:00

Speedpainting I made yesterday. I wanted to see what I can make in 30 minutes.

I don't think its that great but oh well, its the process of learning.

Dinner

2009-12-09T15:42:00.000-08:00

Just drawn off my head, I was trying to relax into this and use art as a mean of relaxation. It works!

Just getting started with this one

2009-12-09T02:40:00.001-08:00

I made this painting last night @ 11:30.
The theme was bring your vision to life.
Done in 30 minutes.
