Tree Sketches

These are a few tree sketches that I did drew a few weeks ago and forgot to upload.

Character Sheets: Final Harpy Head

Final Disguised Harpy Concept

Final Revealed Harpy Concept

This time I took the best bits out of every concept I've done before and I believe we have the best result so far.

Disguised Harpy In The Nest Concept

Tree Combo Concept

After drawing my storyboard I was inspired to create a quick concept by reusing Dom's concepts. 

Tree Sketching 1

Here are few sketches for our trees. They are focusing a bit more to the up-close detail. I will use the first one for a quick preview sculpt in zbrush.

The second one is just a bit taller variation of the same thing.

Tree Concept 2 + Nest Influence Map

With this concept I attempted to incorporate the harpy nest into the design.  

Influence 

Harpy Head Design

When we started making our Harpy concepts we haven't been thinking enough about the transformation from beauty to horror. We tried to make some sort of "in between" character that becomes gradually more grotesque as we show different parts of it.

After conversation with Justin we realised that we really needed to work a lot harder on the transformation to make it more interesting. We decided to use white cornette symbolising innocence and transform it into beak.

Tree Concept

This is our first concept painting for the trees. I have depicted the tree as if it were made of multiple people.  I attempted to make the forms more unrecognizable nearer the roots. This is to suggest that the soul trapped in the tree become more and more mutilated over time. 

Harpy Concept 2

This time I tried hard to make our Harpy as grotesque as possible. I made the head more beak-like, but at the same time since I didn't wanted to keep it in a very generic shape added some abstract shapes. Similar patterns are repeating throughout the whole body to keep it consistant. If this concept works I still have some ideas where I could push it further.

Harpy Concept

This concept was inspired by Gustav Klimt's paintings. I tried to combine Sam's sketches with something more stylised. Just like in Klimt's paintings I've been thinking to leave completely flat textures in some areas. It would help to integrate our charackters into highly stylised environment. This work still feels a bit unfinished, but it should be enough to explain what I have in my head.

Dante Drawing

This is a warm up Drawing by Domantas that he drew whilst listening to an audio recording of Dante’s Inferno.
