The Epic of Gilgamesh - Design Sketches

Yay, I'm back from my trip to South Korea! Before I left, I finished a great part of my Gilgamesh project, so here is the result of the different characters, environments, weapons etc, I designed.

Gilgamesh - Character Designs

Here the character designs for Gilgamesh and his opponent, Humbaba. Gilgamesh is a very arrogant king in the story. He has very shiny armor and a crown to show this off. Humbaba was a terrible monster, whose face was made of entrails (really!). It was fun designing that character :)

Gilgamesh - The cedar forest

Here are some more designs for my Gilgamesh project!

First the cedar forest area, where Gilgamesh faces the monster Humbaba in the arena.

Quick render of Uruk

Here's a quick render of one of the thumbnails I made for the city of Uruk:

Gilgamesh: City thumbs

For my new project I am visualizing the epic of Gilgamesh, which has some very interesting characters, places, props and vehicles to design! Ever since I read this story (during my study archaeology a long long tme ago  :p) I've wanted to visualize it, so now I will :) Here are some quick thumbs for the city of Uruk, where the epic starts.

Medieval Knights

last week I focused on Eastern armours, this time I wanted to know more about medieval armour so I sketched these three designs. There are so many variations and shapes, it's very interesting and inspiring!

Eastern Warriors

I made these quick armour designs a couple of days ago. They are inspired by ancient eastern armours. I wanted to explore the shapes and colours of these armourstyles and make these into game character designs. I think I like the first one best!

The Mantodea

I've been designing a researchmech, inspired by a praying mantis :-) It's a vehicle that allows scientists to collect and gather materials for study.

Speedpaints - Mechanical

Yes, I've also been doing vehicle speedpaints, kind of new for me :-) But I enjoy doing this so much! They took about 1 hour each to complete.

Speedpaints - Japan

Been doing a lot of speedpainting, here are some of them. All of them not more than 1 hour, and inspired by Japan :)
