Desert Troops Concept work

As I continue to write on the story itself, I am still exploring the visual style of it. There is a lot of sand in this story, and thus I needed a battle-suit for the Desert Troops. I started out with Millie as she is one of the main characters of the story. Here is version 2 in progress.

  

 The drafts for this started in my sketchbook a few years back

The idea here was to give her a small cloak to make her stand out as an officer in command, however, I later rejected the idea as too many loose parts only tend to be in the way on the battle-field.

The Fighter Sketches

The Fighter, work in progress. Thought I'd show you some sketches this time, not just finished stuff. To me, looking in other artists sketchbooks can many times be more inspirational than to look at the finished work. Getting to know the work behind the work sort of speak.

White Lady

 

I really like this concept, all white. The White Lady was initially inspired from the character Gem in Tron: Legacy. I was working on this piece just a small bit at the time every now and then. It went through several stages from initial rough to finished piece. I had no intention on any background when I started.

The Commander

I wanted him to be the overseer of everything from secret documents to the personal lives of his staff. A mentor as well as a hardened soldier. This was the final concept.

Bad Guys

As I was working on the concept of Bad Guys, I came up with the Top Player. Bad guy as he is, his custom made yo-yo is the only thing that can keep him calm :-)

This is his partner in crime, Savant De Mal.

Anna

 

As a part of a Sci-Fi story I'm writing on, this was of my first concept drawings of "Anna". She lives her life to the extent she can due to a heart condition. She has alot of compassion and always want to do something good, helping people with the little things.

But for the goodhearted there are times of loneliness too. This was my second drawing of Anna. I was still unsure about what her apartment should look like, so I decided to make it night time.
