ModNation Racers - Concept art

2011-04-23T11:35:00.000-04:00

Almost year ago Sony Computer Entertainment published United Front Games title ModNation Racers.
Even if you are not into racing games you should check it out because there is lot more to it.
I did tons of concepts in more than two years working on this game.
Here is some:)

When you are in Track Studio you can see these pieces I did to populate this front end area.
Lots of fun painting in this style:)

2009-09-30T04:19:00.000-04:00

Couple of days ago I was looking for some references.
I have opened some satellite images from NASA and ESA, and briefly commented that this could be easily created in Photoshop and friend of mine expressed some doubts.
So, I took the challenge and that evening in approximately half an hour created this image.
No photos were used.
What would be possible if you actually spend whole day on it? ;)

Syd Mead

2008-05-28T13:12:00.000-04:00

On May 14th Siggraph Vancouver hosted one of the greatest artists of our times Syd Mead.
His presentation was great example of ones ability to condense his huge opus and experience into one and a half hour presentation that gave audience truly in depth look into his long, rich and inspiring carrier.

Here is the sketch I did couple of months ago that reminds me of one moment in Syd's presentation when he was touching on car design history.

Opening

Deep Jungle

2008-04-24T00:27:00.000-04:00

Getting further and further into level one and lush jungle of Whumpa Island use of Photoshop brushes and experimenting with the same was becoming more and more elaborate.
This is the introduction area for one of the mutant beasts that Crash is fighting throughout the game.

Mushrooms

2008-04-15T02:54:00.000-04:00

One of the first introductions of arenas in level one.
Working on Crash of the Titans I developed lots of custom Photoshop brushes.
I hope that in the near future I would be able to share some of these brush ideas through short tutorials.

On the opposite side are devastated burned down grounds.
These concepts are showing very beginning of destruction area.

Nina's lab

2007-11-07T23:50:00.000-05:00

During "Crash of the Titans" preproduction I did many sketches for possible game locations.

One of them was Nina's floating lab that was later replaced with Neo Cortex's giant floating factory that you can see at the end of the game.

Here is the concept for Nina's floating lab;

One of early ideas was for Crash to land on island with deserted military base.

Crash bandicoot "Crash of the Titans" is the latest published game I did Concept Art for.
In stores as of October this year.
I will be posting more concept art from this game in next couple of weeks.

This piece is from early preproduction when we were exploring story ideas and art direction we wanted to go with.

Chrome

2007-10-28T02:38:00.000-04:00

Initially I did quick sketch of man with the gun. His gun looked dark and heavy, so I decided to change it to something lighter and came up with this chrome looking piece. I think, much more appropriate for this color scheme.

Rooftops

2007-09-15T17:18:00.000-04:00

This recent sketch of downtown Vancouver rooftops was really tricky to do. I was trying to capture all subtle tones of colour but sun was setting really fast and this might look unfinished...
Regardless I liked it and wanted to share it.
