"Snow Leopard Wizard" - Concept (3 images)
(Approx time: 7+ hours)
Final render of the character concept. Had a little too much fun rendering the small details but really like how the character turned out.
(Approx time: 45 mins)
Rough color layout to get a feel for the character and color interactions.
Ended up making some changes for vibrancy in the final render
(Approx time: 2 hours)
Initial line art sketching phase.
Would up going with the bottom left design after merging aspects of the top and bottom right sketches.
Stylized concept art sample (Time from start to finish, approx: 10 hours)
As I'm currently applying for more conceptual artist roles, wanted to start sharing more examples of my work in different styles and approaches. This character was a styled approach to a more cutesy mobile game styling. I gave myself an overall time limit on this.
Looking forward to doing more of these, primarily to build my portfolio for employment in a studio, but also because I've spent so much time doing high detailed work, that simpler pieces take me longer than they should (I start rendering all the things) and that's a habit I need to shake off for certain studios and clients.
