Brute War – Video Game Concept Cover, 2011
Newly added To Portfolio, Brute War – Video Game Concept Cover, Created for Sheridan College. Product Illustration
This project was created for Sheridan College in 2011 while I was still developing my portfolio. I was in my final year and was trying to round out my portfolio and I realized I didn’t have any good character Illustrations. A project came up to create a video game cover and I decided to go with something a little more current and not necessarily technically based. A project like this was fun but also daunting as I’m not to good with skin painting so I went a little more comic book with the tones. The character featured in this illustration is based on an image of myself. I wanted something that made the character look big but also displayed the atmosphere in which the character would exist in. I chose to go with an “up” angle to achieve that. Helicopters and buildings were added to fill the sky and create a much grander looking scene. The gun was modelled after the Heckler & Koch MK 23 along with a lot of modification. After some peer review it was noted that the weapon looked a little small in the characters hands. To fix this problem a large piece was added to the top of the Socom. This created more visual balance in the weight of the weapon compared to the character.

Here is a process video showing how the leg armour evolved during the creation of this illustration. I start off pretty rough and then later fine tune it once i’m happy with it. I take a different approach with every illustration, sometimes I draw the whole character out and other times I draw parts and then go from there. Since I wanted to make sure I was happy with the skin – I did that first and then completed the other areas last.
