    paper Character sheets - Excavation Team - Above Korr - Golden Touch studios

    Since joining Golden Touch studios as a freelancer early this year; I have been given the task of creating the games protagonist team. A group of four military excavation experts, forced to navigate alien architecture in hopes of uncovering it’s secrets. Under the orders of a radical and totalitarian government the characters needed to present as gritty and hardened. I worked in a Photo-realistic style for this project, using my knowledge of photo-bashing to create four character concept sheets. Met positively. They have subsequently been finalised and sent off to the 3D team. I’m currently waiting to hear back if they will require model sheets.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the process with the pieces taking anywhere between five to ten hours to complete. However the research took longer and honestly was the part I enjoyed the most.
