Independent Study -- Foundlings

Independent Study: Foundlings 1 - 4

Title: Independent Study: Foundlings 1 - 4
Date: October 1 - 5, 2013
Medium: Photoshop CS3, Pencil

Scale: Varies

Notes: The first sketches of the Foundlings, the second archetype for the game.

They look like children, but are actually extremely powerful and magically active. They have a form of mutation that causes them to age (internally) very rapidly, and they unfortunately only have a lifespan of about twelve years or so... Each point of mutation causes the skeleton and musculature to coil around rock formations that protrude from the skin.

Also the area that they live in is inhabited by 'Nurses' or Mamas.

For the first week I'm just doing a ton of studies based around children and costumes and also vintage style nurses and cyberpunk nurses.

Independent Study: Environment Studies 2

Medium: Photoshop CS3

Notes: I never got to post these the other day, but this is more of that environment study.
I think I will actually want to do more of these before too long as they are actually really good for helping with composition. Although I might want to start doing some color versions...

Independent Study: Portraits

Title: Independent Study: Portraits
Date: October 2, 2013
Medium: Graphite, Brush and Ink, Goauche

Notes: I'm still having fun taking the Just Busted magazine and turning it into portrait studies. It's not the greatest as a ton of the portraits are pretty washed out, but it has the entire gamut of human emotion in it.
