Concept art: Mauve's broomstick
Comprehensive art & production design for a hypothetical first-person RPG game of my own design, called Mauve. The titular character is a female cowboy-wizard, a dragon charmer for hire. Concept loosely based on an Edward Lear limerick: "There was an Old Man with a flute/ A sarpint (sic) ran into his boot/ But he played day and night/ Till the sarpint took flight/ And avoided that man with a flute."
My work:
Hand-drawn mixed media concept & production art using Photoshop, Illustrator, Paint Tool Sai
Use of geometry/algebra program Geogebra to create innovative repeated patterns to colour final production art
Analogue media include Copic markers, paint, fabric, found objects, kaleidoscope
Aesthetic, concept & worldbuilding development based on thorough research
A comprehensive production journal can be found here:
In creating the look of the Dragon, I combined the avian, the serpentine, and the dinosaurian.
In homage to the iconic soundtrack of The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, Mauve's snake-charming instrument of choice is an Ocarina, rather than a flute.
Mauve's broomstick, featuring a saddle.
To create stylised patterns to use as textures in this hypothetical game, I made use of open source mathematical graphing program GeoGebra. I then manipulated and tessellated these patterns through Photoshop & Paint Tool Sai.
