Concept 3D for characters for a game

wheel mouse

Wheel Mouse concept character , a quick and rough  3D sculpt in Sculptris . In order to be fit for animation ,the 3d model  needs to be retopologize in Blender.

Sculptris is a free sculpting tool from the makers of Zbrush .  Fun to use to create characters and alien landscapes ….The rendering is great !

Allows you to save as png , or obj for import into other 3D softwares.

Cat Tshirt double print , wet on wet

P1170099

I got this double printing idea from the glass window of the MRT (Mass Rapid Transit ) train. I was wearing a single white cat print,same design , on a grey t shirt , commuting  back from work .

I notice the double image reflection of  the cat on my T , on the glass window , which gives a 3D impression .  

Positioning of the 2nd black color was a little tricky , I had  to be careful not to smudge the first silver paint layer which was still wet and at the same time to offset  precisely the silkscreen downward and to the right a little for the 2nd print.

I was sketching new characters for a game , playing with the concept of embedding technology in a life form .

Why have cars ?

Because wheels are faster then legs .

Then why not a person have wheels for legs ? instead of a cyborg that is to uncreatively replacing human biological parts with metal parts. Why not make it better ?

Because the  image of a person with wheels , is a stigmatised image of a disabled person in a wheeled chair.

So lets not do wheeled human characters.

Opening for a game …

Lets do fishes with wheels …. the story goes … in an ocean far far away  …. the deep sea creatures has been inventing technology … and one fine day they come to invade the surface creatures (thats us) with gentically modified wheels attached to their bodies ….

Fish with wheels invaded our city , our roads …. They move faster than cars ….

And the game starts with you a typical delivery man driving a van to deliver goods , meeting gangster fishes on wheels to crash your van. The government cannot do anything we are out numbered …. you too cannot fight … you need to run away and avoid being killed … your mission is your job …that is to deliver goods!
