Sadiha and Squish (WIP)

I actually started this image many, many months back, just prior to beginning the Caravan project. As a result of being sucked into film production, it's gone nowhere since. I would love to attempt to work on it a bit more soon, just as a slight diversion - everybody needs that little something! That said, above is Sadiha (The Defiance) listening in on a nearby conversation, whilst attempting to keep her little buddy Squish from scrap-diving off of her dinner plate. The image, apart from the view out the window, is only in very simple flats at the moment, but when fully rendered, is meant to be a lighting exercise more then anything. Hopefully I get the chance to work on it some time soon!

More Work for 'The Defiance'

A new set of concept images I've amassed for a SciFi project I've been milling over recently, The Defiance. This particular trio were for my Finals project for Characters and Environments at CCS - a class which has given me a fantastic opportunity to develop the series off and on for the duration of the semester. Image titles, in order of appearance: Sadiha Model Sheet, Alexis Model Sheet, and The Bridge (Environment Study).

"The Defiant" Concept Art

The collection of concept images I've amassed so far for a SciFi project I've been milling over recently, The Defiance. There will undoubtedly be more from this series to come. Image titles, in order of appearance: Wroth, Sadiha, Wroth Progress, Sadiha Progress, Stargazing Sadi, and GrizGriz & Tiago.
