Plexxus Good guys

Yay finished the drawing the good guy characters for Plexxus to put on our website :D Now back to normal work. This is the first big group picture I've ever done, took ages. About 15 hours. Recorded half of it (Once I remembered I had a new screen recording program. Woot!)

Website

Hey der! My schedule's been a bit off, my Tablet Pen broke and we had to order a new one. So this week I've been working on our website design. I've tried coding, and it's been a disaster, so hopefully we'll get someone who actually knows what they're doing to get it up and running. Should be up this week :D 



We were thinking of having the background of the website be all the characters from the game together. So here's the lineart of the "Good guys" I'm coloring right now (Got my new tablet pen!):



On a side note, The New Division is freaking awesome and I got to make them into Pixel and 8bit.. I've been listening to their music all week.... oAo


Good way to test out the new pen.

Update

We've been planning on coming out after the holidays, so many "real games" coming out. I'll have more time to do the 100+ drawings for the cutscenes in the meantime. So far so good, just have to keep going and checking off my todo list boxes!

Here's the 1979 Atari cutscene. 12 year old Oliver skipping school and getting his game :3

I've been looking at SO many old house photos...... Apparently "Avacado Green" was a popular appliance color. Also green carpet. Gotta love yellow linoleum. And dark brown wood was popular in the early 70's but got lighter towards the late 70's.....

This site was a life saver for 60's and 70's homes: http://uglyhousephotos.com/wordpress/
Reminds me of my grandma's house.

I love that TV!

Characters!

 Finally getting some characters in!



This is in the middle of the story. The game goes through the eras of gaming, and the character is in the 90's right now. Got his first house, and has to start being an 'adult'

Don't forget the things you love after you grow up :[




--------------------------

Here's me trying to figure out a style, All I knew is I wanted it with a painterly saturated style,  I had no idea what it would look like though. Also needed to be done fast but not look too sloppy.

I finally settled on more realistic starting out with a greyscale drawing. Makes things much quicker and easier to control colors when I lay them on later :D Also get to focus on the values more.

I have a WIP on my Deviantart with this process, actually! http://eponagirl.deviantart.com/art/Photoshop-Process-Elf-120778448

More Backgrounds


Wide shot of the house.

I made some custom brushes for the house, like the bricks and shingles. I can share those if anyone would like them. I knew I had a hard time looking for house brushes,

Backgrounds



Yesterday we went to the Giant Bomb's Big Live Live show LIVE. We were the only non-friend/family guest there.  Got to talk to some awesome people though!


 Here's my 4 drawings for today:






 There's always the sketches to see what the characters are up to in this cutscene: [link]
