Ewan CG Progress

Added 2018-07-23 17:30:00 +0000 UTC

Just a progress post showing how we got from concept to "final lines" for one of Ewan's CGs.

This was one of our concept arts that is really not at all in the right dimensions (which means there will be a full art in the art book, but the game version will have to be severely cropped to fit on the screen.)

The concept artist was the one with the slightly more anime style and this is where we started!

I liked the overall pose and movement but there are a few anatomy quirks that needed to be fixed (tiny hands, for instance) plus just generally switching this to my style. I also needed to shift Nora's body forward since she's supposed to be trying to support Ewan's body and head with her face and body. AS ONE DOES.

My first sketch is just trying to readjust overall body proportions and shapes. It's really messy and has wonky anatomy in multiple places. Nora's got a much more juicy butt now. I didn't really intend that but eh...whatever.

In the next round, I was just refining their body shapes and bits. It's that awkward stage where everyone is naked (or mostly naked) and it looks like art for a totally different type of game. OxO (I wasn't too fussed with the alignment of their lips since this is a hurried, frantic kiss that Ewan isn't exactly participating in.)

Started sketching in their clothes at this point. Ewan's face was bugging me so I also started making some fixes to his...everything. Mostly, though, I worked on his head and face as that's the area that was definitely kind of wonky.

And in this version I finally went in to refine the lines. I ended up making his jacket zipped up in this scene as it's just easier to manage a zipped jacket than a loose one and I just wasn't liking how it looked. These are the final lines which means I probably won't do much more before I start coloring. But there are always edits and fixes that happen during the coloring process so I'll be continuing to tweak and improve everything as I color.
