View Full Version : charactes/ my own game
hawkprey 08-05-2003, 03:44 PM Hey fellas
My dream is to one day concept a game that is all mine.
I love the game industry, but sometimes I feel like games are watered down to the least common denominator because publishers want to sell more copies to the biggest audience.
This past weekend I said, "f@#K it!" what would my game look like if I didnt have upteen people whittling my shit down.
Tried to spend no more than an hour on each one. Just letting the creative juices and passion for the subject flow.
It was the most fun I have had concepting in a long time.
Hope they arent too rough for you guys to understand.

Wow! I really like these concepts. Reminds me of R. K. Post's work. :thumbsup:
Beautiful concepts. The Stilt Jockey especially grabs me as one kick ass character.
I, for one, would love to see these in a game. Would be fantastic.
Again you have amazed me with your work.

very nice work, The first one reminds me of the Zeus station in the FF movie.

What kind of game would it bee? about the same as american McGee's Alice ??
Would be great to see sometime.

08-05-2003, 08:46 PM
I think they look pretty good!:thumbsup:
When I saw the first one I thought of the zeus cannon from the Final Fantasy movie like anieves, but it's still cool. I really like the Hatchetman.
Did you hand draw these and then scan them in for a little photo manipulation, or just draw directly in the computer... or did you just use traditional means and scan when finished?
Keep up the good work:D

Really interesting... good work!
hawkprey
08-05-2003, 08:58 PM
well I guess I drew the Zues cannon in female form. ahahhaahha
Wasnt even thinking about it.
all of these are done in straight photoshop. 5 pixel brush just keep flipping between black and white.
Here is a couple more I just did.
No idea where she came from.............. hopefully not FF...ahahha

.... and I needed some basic gimps who are just mean as hell and die real easy. Lots of gibs and screaming when they get shot.

Good stuff though!

Different to your usual concepts but just as neat.

08-06-2003, 10:56 AM
I saw these posted on Conceptart.org. They are really
well done. The rough style really brings forward the serious attitude they all have. Very non-quake/unreal wich is rare these days. The sad part is that no matter how good the models are in the end, the stylishness you've come up with is probabaly impossible to translate into polygons. Really well done!
Fantastic! I'am already your fan.
Atmospherically your artwork reminds me Blame! and Noise by Tatsuo Nihei.
(His great artist and storyteller. You can grab scans from http://www.omanga.net, but don't forget to buy official releas when it's out)

Thanks guys
I am so happy that people respond to these even though they are very rough and dirty.
Makes me want to do more. Unfortunately I am going on vacation today so it might be a week or so.
I think I need to do some riding beasts or something. I am still trying to think of a twist that will make them unique.
ideas?
cybernetic centipede formed up of parts
every "part" can walk independently forming whole monster when it's needed.
oops... looks like some anime stuff
ok
ok
let's add a brain capsule to the each part
I prefer not to see the typical "brain in the jar" thing but some spherical armor with beatiful seams plugged in the "part"
and a master part with human (or humanoid pilot)
controlling the whole beast.
The pilot can beautifully hang between "control part" antennas.

Love the hardcore style and the spirit B&W brings to the drawings.

These are fantastic, and you have a style I truly envy you for. If I could draw at all.
This'd be a game I'd buy, for sure ;)

I could see some of these concepts turn into something like this (http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=76066&highlight=effigy)
I have been a comics asistance about 3 years in Hong Kong , now I am learning 3D . I really love your style !!! If your style can transform into 3D model , it must be great !

I would love to model one of these but I would want to work closely with the artist so I got his feel and image that he wants.

These are just totally freaking rocking.
Really inspirational, makes me want to leave the office early today and just do quick sketches.
The exagerrated horrific style reminds me a great deal of concept art of the Quake games.
Great job, really dig the over exaggerated proportions, Gatling Girl and Stilt guy in particular.

Great designs, very original!
Hatchetman brings back memories of this game I use to play along time ago. Forget the name, was like Twighlight 2000 but with cyborgs (it was on paper) we used lego figures for game pieces. Anyway I had a character that used to axes and was called Hatchetman, and I would just bring him out when I was bored to PK all my friends...:D LOL!
I'm a fan of yours, these images remind me of Tankgirl for some reason. But I like 'em they are cool! Makes me want to go break out my ink and pens, but I suck... so I won't...
wow...... these are good concepts, i'd really want to see this guys in 3d. it looks awsome :beer:
Your stile is amazing, and your character design is really good.
Very inspiering!

hawkprey is a pro, easily one of the top 5 vifeo game concept artists out there. nuff said... give us more hawkprey... you have a large enough following why dont u try and do a mod/get a game published?

08-06-2003, 10:46 PM
i've actually been looking at some of your earlier stuff before and i must say i like it ! This is the same top notch concept art. I wonder do you use a wacom ? if you are would you like to tell me what software you use and such ?
I've been trying to fix my wacom but i cant get the sketch feeling to it...

Cant tell you how excited all this response makes me.
You guys rock....
I will have to answer some of your questions when I get back in town.

When I talk about what deserves to be front page and what doesn't this is the kind of imaginative stuff that I think should be. Varied design maintaining the consistency and general themes. Great stuff.

Taking these beyond the concept stage would be a blast, I'd love modeling the STILT JOCKEY as a low poly or even a high poly, it lends itself to some really sick detail ideas. Nice Work!

i've been a fan of your work since i first stumbled onto your site. everything you do is an inspiration.
bluecult_reaper
08-07-2003, 04:44 PM
Those sketches rock man. If you released a concept book I'd definitely already own it. The style of these reminds me of the way Clive Barker draws. They are all very graphic and energetic. They'd make great tattoos too!!
The thing about a game is...would it work. I can't really see some of these characters in color or moving. They would definitely lose their elegance. I'd love to see some of the characteristics influence some new game characters. Hello? ID?
Keep it up, you rock.:applause:
urgaffel
08-07-2003, 04:46 PM
And I loved them all... A mod with these concepts (or a full game if possible) would be so sweet... Well, it would be more of a TC, but still :) The concepts makes me want to model them, and apparently I'm not the only one. You're definitely on to something here Hawkprey :thumbsup:

08-07-2003, 07:15 PM
i say go for it. the creative drive, and inspiration is all you need. you could do full blown concepts, lay the game out, details etc, and market that. Im sure a game company would jump all over it. original game designs are extremely hard to come by, especially ones that are as dark and twisted as this one seems to be. If you went all out, like some of the concept work you have on your site, you could do it.
As far as the chars, wow. the look, different weapons remind me of maybe a sick "gladiator" type game or enviroment, or maybe like a "running man the movie" type scenerio. certainly wouldnt want one of them after me. :)
anyways, wow, i would love to see the progress. :)
I've only been on this forum for a week or so, but I'm already a huge fan of your work. :D
Thanks for giving info about how you drew it, I love the sketchy and dark style of your work!! I'm also a huge fan of Blame!, I guess, so that helps. *chuckle*
I'm amazed at your creativity. Where do you get it from?? What's your secret? :D Some evil little demon on your left shoulder, or some innocent fairy in the potted plant on the window shelf? ^_^
Have a nice vacation!

Made it back from vacation. I was astounded to see how many people responded to these. Goes to show if you do put your heart into something people will appreciate it..... thanks
Spent the past couple days working some new characters I had in my head. I am still having a blast with these.

i suggest naming the unnamed girl sylvia :)
although i like the robots least, because what i liked about your drawings is the sick'os that were NOT robot / heavy shield stuff we see so mjuch, theyre still great. i love the alien-esque last thing :)
i also love the white-knight thing. you should try doing a religious theme - a sort of post apocalyptic crusaders army, or a totalitarian goverment. that would rock.
