Bioshock

I found a PDF for the Bioshock concept art.
There are some lovely zombie/monster/godknowswhatcreatures.

Worth a view:

Steamboy

So I just finished watching Steamboy for the first time ... I'm blown away by the amount of effort put in, it really shows.
I took the liberty of posting some screens here.

Ok, so the concept art team has started a blog with all of our work so far, so to save re-uploading all those images, I'll just put a link:

Good times.

Also, here are some sweet links to sweet things.
http://www.samandfuzzy.com/ - Sam Logan is a master of black and white. Really amazing what he can do with 2 tones.
http://www.mikewieringo.com/ - the (dead) Mike Wieringo. Beautiful art to look at.
http://www.realmofatland.com/ - Nate Piekos, pretty good colouring. Also, knows how to draw hot chicks.

More coming later.

Composition

Here's a site with 23 pages of tips on composing landscapes. Pretty handy.
Don't be a dick, point and click.

Bell choir?

Still just working on getting some nice angles for this storyboard/animatic. It's kinda hard matching angles/perspective, with mood, dialogue, story progression etc, and still keeping each shot ... unique, in some way. Or not unique, just ... not boring.

Here are links to some animatics.
Knuckle duster
When You're evil
Awesome fight scene called Joust

Also, I thought of an awesome name for a band: Optimus Chime and the Bell Boys.
I'd play in that band.

Architecture

I was researching architecture from the colorado area (where this story is set), and it seems they tend to use wood as the main material, with brick and stone as features/trim, and have high, sloping roofs.

Here are some shots I found online.

New assignment

So right now we're working on an animatic for a script Mark gave us. Should be a pretty fun process.
I'm getting sick of reading the script, but so far I've done some character design for the 3 characters in the scene, a height comparison chart, and a couple of rough panels of camera angles that I might like to try.
I'll be posting images when I can.
