DESIGNING THE BROKEN GODS – PART TWO – CONCEPT TO CREATION
Having a clear idea of what each characters look a feel was gave Darren a solid start and quickly numerous renders of each character started to flow in. I’m quite open in letting an artist interpret my ideas in how they see fit as although I have a good idea of what I want, I don’t want to stunt the collaborative process. I like to keep my working circle small; I tend to work with the same group of creatives as they understand my process and I understand theirs; I also think loyalty goes a long way.
Once we had looked through the concepts, a couple of designs hit straight away, whereas on others it was about choosing parts of one and combining with another to create the direction I wanted the character to go.
The end result of the concept stage was the fully realised characters and very quickly an intergalactic rock band was born.
