This art was created when I was learning concept art as a study to get a job in the game industry. Concept art is about putting a lot of story into one piece of art. I drew this art with a lot of feelings at that time.

Two women stand back to back faces in side profile in an open wheat field with a single dead tree in the background, and a pile of slain undead skeletons in the foreground. The women on the right is Aelis De Lenti, Warden and necromancer of Lone Pine. She has shoulder length black hair, and light skin. She's wearing a dark earth tone blue cloak around her shoulders and left arm, and draped down her back. Under the cloak is black gambson with a satchel belt, and a sitched heraldry on the shoulder of a sheild with three crowns on top, a pillar on each side, and two chevrons in the shield, one in blue and one in green. In her right hand she wields a wand with a glowing tip and a magic shield formed in front of her. In her left hand she wields a short sword with twisting quillions and a leaf shaped blade. The woman on the left is Maurenia, an elf with red hair, freckles, and chin length hair with an undercut. She's wearing a black leather coated brigandine with ornate studs over a blue gambson, with matching pauldrons, bracers and grieves. She has brown leather belts and accessories over the armor, and a tightly wound blue scarf around her neck. She wields a rapier with a filigree basket in her right hand. And a crossbow resting over her shoulders in her left hand.

Three adventurers facing right, weapons drawn, trudging through snow covered trees. The figure in the front is Aelis, dark hair blue cloak, black gambeson, with a short leaf shaped sword drawn. The middle figure is Maurenia, an elf woman with a rapier pointed high, wearing a studded leather armor. The figure in the back is Tun, a tall half orc with a large walking stick that doubles as a weapon. He has blonde hair, braided on the sides, long and unbraided in the back, and held in a hiar tie on top. He wears a giant fur cloak over a tunic.

The intro title shot from the PS3 game Journey. This is from the finished game. The title "Journey" is displayed above a distant mountain, with the player character seeing it from atop a sand dune.

The intro title shot from a work in progress version of Journey. The title's font is different, the composition is asymmetrical, and the distant mountain is not as tall as the final version.

10th anniversary Journey thread, recreated:
I was the art director of thatgamecompany's Journey. It set the course of my career and my art. I'm forever thankful to the community of players and their incredible love for the game. This is a thread comparing early dev images and how things shipped.

Time for another reference dump!

This zip file contains 2,566 photos (6.58 GB) from the Metropolitan Museum of Art arms and armor collection. I tried to focus on the types of details you don't see in most available reference, like hinges and fasteners.

Enjoy!

Digital painting. Looking up at person with pale skin and glowing white hair. They are holding a thin wooden rod (an arrow, maybe) that seems to have pierced through their chest. They have a few gold rings, and a simple gold bracelet that hangs from their wrist. The sclera of their eyes is red, and their irises are gold. The background of the piece is a soft, cloudy turquoise.

Some work i did in 2017. Loved working on this project at the time. A couple of Fortresses, A weather Machine and a Dimension shifting Prison. Would love to come back to subject matter like this with my current taste and experience at some point.
