Seaside Concept



This here is my "Seaside" concept, now fully drawn out and coloured on my computer. There's more to come as always, so I'll keep you posted.

Protagonist


This is my first concept for the protagonist of the game. Playing the role of a civilian put into unusual circumstances, he is wearing nothing but a rain jacket and cargo pants, plus a backpack. The background here is the entrance to an alleyway, with a dumpster and a boarded window to the right. The plot in the game will be a gradual mystery for the player to solve as the game progresses. The following are a couple different versions of the concept:


Darkened Version


Pitch Black


My brother's exploding car version


Concepts

Well, this is going to be my first post in April. I know I haven't done much posting in a while, but recently, I've fallen unconscious and hit my head on the stairs while doing so, requiring surgery and a brief stay in the hospital. Well, I'm pretty certain that won't be detrimental to anything I do in the future, so all is well. In fact, I'm here to show you a few concepts I've drawn for my friend's concept game, which we're both collaborating on. Its working title is "The Only One", but we might change it in the future to fit our needs. The plot is a bit shaky so far, but hey, when you start a video game off some random drawing you find in your sketchbook, it takes a while to get off. Here's the first couple of concepts I've drawn.


This here is my first concept, "Avenue", which depicts a road littered with destruction. The office building to the left has been demolished and the park to the right is abandoned. The main character is seen walking down the avenue alone.




This is my second concept, which started out with me wanting to depict what an abandoned highway would look like, and then slowly it turned to a kind of bridge. "Seaside" shows that the city here is by a body of water, and this highway is an entrance into that city. The main character is seen once again walking down the highway alone, with a few abandoned cars and a single malfunctioning lamp post.




This is my latest concept, "Windows" (nothing to do with Microsoft), is one I only completed recently. It shows the main character with a backpack observing what is outside the window. The window itself is shattered with two gaping holes in it. The wall outside the building the protagonist is in has been broken through in one point, leaving it shattered and charred. This concept was to depict the thin barrier the windows make for the main character between the world outside and the relative peace within the building.

I'll be posting more concepts as I go along, so stay tuned for more in the next week or two.
