Order of Irradiance city - thumbnails for illustration

Although it is not an asset of the game, I'll make a couple of entirely 2D illustrations for the game, based on our designs. So here are four rough thumbnails for "Order of Irradiance city at peace". Please critique.

Order of Irradiance NPC wip

Still need to do some adjustment here and there. :)

Brush for texture..

Made a pattern brush for Order of Irradiance team. :) Few more are on there way and I will update this post once I'm done.

Brush file
To get this effect, just hold shift drag while the brush is active. Like how you would draw a straight line.

Irradiance NPC Game Res WIP

WIP of the game res mesh of Irradiance NPC
Modeling is done, normals need to be created for a handful more pieces, some details will be on cards too.
Normals and AO in Marmoset, few trouble areas on the skirt atm

Irradiance NPC 5k tris version

Reduced the blockin further to try to get under 5k, currently at 4954 tris. Hires sculpt also in progress.

Order of Irradiance Resident

Modeled some houses based on Moran's awesome designs :)

The concept.

It's at 1443 tris all together.

Irradiance NPC Blockout

Irradiance ships blockout

Blockout of both Irradiance ships- by Sergio's concept. They are both currently around 500-600 polys.

Irradiance Cathedral

Solar temple/cathedral for Order of Irradiance. Still not sure about the scale- a little small perhaps?

Jetpack block in

Changed the design a bit from the concept so that it fits the character better.

Order of Irradiance Cannon, 3D Blockout

 

Gino created the blockout for the Order of Irradiance cannon. Here are some pictures. Could we invite him to post in the blog?  His e-mail is g7rovela@gmail.com

Order of Irradiance Cannon, WIP

Here's the design of the Order of Irradiance sunbeam cannon so far. I took some ideas from Leo and Alberto who talked about hiding the props when not needed, so now it can fold down. Some parts are also inspired by Christina's telescope design

Irradiance jetpack 1

Some ideas for the jetpack for the Order of Irradiance npc.

Sunbeam Order of Irradiance gun: thumbnails

An aesthetically important prop on the Irradiance ships, they might also appear on the little Dynamo if the players will be able to steal stuff from the NPCs somehow. Feedback is very welcome.

An update on the ships is available on the older post.

Order of Irradiance NPC

Without jetpack.

The four enemy ships, update

An update on the four enemy ships:

Small Tezarian Alliance ship

Large Tezarian Alliance ship

Small Order of Irradiance ship

 Large Order of Irradiance ship

A size comparison:

Order of Irradiance 3

More goddess feel. I've also did a quick sketch of the jetpack. I focused on how it would open up and become part of her costume.

Order of Irradiance ship, WIP

The large Order of Irradiance ship. Still needs a lot of work.  I used some of Moran's silohuettes. Feedback is very welcome.

Order of Irradiance 2

Added Aztec influence.

Let me know if there's a modeling/rigging problem in the design. The keywords for the design are: tribal, crusader, Greek, feather, sun, nun, Athena.
