Seamus (out of the blue): Right, Jules?
Me: .... right?
Seamus: I'm gonna start calling you Jules. Can I call you Jules?
Me: ... yes you can call me Jules.
also some progress shots under the cut bc I took a couple!
the amaaaazing concept sketch done in like 2 mins
initial color blocking! i had no idea how i was gonna do the tentacles here and took a break
each individual element (ice, shark, kraken) are fully rendered, but I still had to make the water feel like, y'know, water. things really started clicking when i made part of the shark not covered by water and added the ripples, because it really helped sell the illusion that there was depth to the piece and it wasn't all on one layer.
A lot of work it's been done by our Level Design team to improve and show amazing and stunning landscapes throughout the Pacific Northwest Wasteland.
Enjoy this small sightings in the meantime and See you in Seattle!
