Costume Quest Fan Art
These are the images that I worked on, in homage to one of my favourite video game studios, DoubleFine. I produced these images primarily to figure out what previous DoubleFine and Co’s franchises might look like if used in their recent title, Costume Quest. I normally wouldn’t post fanart, but since this work has gotten a warm reception over at the DF Action Forums, I am including it here.
See the additional images below:

Beat Appetite – More Concept Work
Prior to this piece of concept art, earlier I had developed some pieces of concept artwork. We had focused on creating a film based around playing music with food, which slowly became less and less of a motive for the chefs.
The images above represent some ideas that were part of my suggestions for the film, unfortunately they go unused. That’s just the way things go, and I hope these ideas will come in handy in the future.

Beat Appetite – Initial Colour Work
Before Beat Appetite started, I played around with colour sketches (ala. Lou Romano). I saw the restaurant and stage playing a very big role in the film. Of course the film took a different approach and turned out completely differently, I enjoyed putting these little sketches together.

A Fatal Attraction
A Fatal Attraction was a simple story concept that I had developed at the end of 3rd year. Looking back on this film concept, it’s definitely something I’ll consider for future projects.
I really enjoy how this one piece of concept turned out. I love playing with colour and basic shapes, much like Lou Romano or Charley Harper.
The basic story was of a robot who by accident becomes incredibly magnetic and needs to save his master from his own destruction.
Here’s a couple more pages for your enjoyment.

A Snow Ballad – Initial Concept
This was the first piece of real concept art in September I developed for my fourth year film, A Snow Ballad. It was to be very minimal at first, with a focus on colour primarily. I also utilized references such as Norval Morrisseau for style references. This I found brought a much more surreal sensibility to the design.
For the film’s style, I immediately latched onto Mary Blaire’s work on A Winter Wonderland. The way simple colour and shape could command a composition was what I admired and hoped to emulate to some small degree.
Also of importance was Charley Harper, a prolific children’s book painter, that I discovered on Hans Bacher’s treasure trove. Simplicity as well as capturing a sensible view of nature while using little embellishment is what I also wished to embody within my thesis film.
Plus, I spent a ton of time at the BBC Motion Gallery’s website. More on that later.
The Generals
The Generals was a short story idea that I started developing the summer of 2009. I had gotten into reading Shel Silverstein books, as I thought they would provide an excellent source of inspiration. Amongst the many stories told in the books, I found The Generals to be both relatable to my beliefs about war and my ideology on futileness of foreign conquest. The Generals was an idea too interesting to pass up.
I’d started developing character designs around the story, using really strange situations two generals could be in as the backdrop. I also was watching a lot of Flintstones around the time I discovered the story, so I decided to work that sensibility into the designs.
The Generals are definitely a concept I’ll play with in the future, if not for a children’s cartoon but for more of a political statement.
