Still learning a lot working in 3D.
We tried taking our own photos for concrete textures.
They're nice and gritty - perhaps TOO gritty, distracting the eye from what should be plain and easy to take in.
Also not sure how to make the seams less obvious. 🤔

The first drawing of Dokgo Sun and his final design.
It's unusual to almost nail it on the first try!
If only every character came so easily... 😩

Here's Pema from our #indiegame The Siege of Jeomdo! She's the protagonist's sweetheart - from a time long since passed...
It occurred to us that you never do get a full view of her outfit in the final game, nor do you see it in colour. 😮
So this pic is quite the scoop! Isn't she so elegant? 🥰

Art of a school teacher character who didn't end up making the cut for our indie #visualnovel The Siege of Jeomdo.
This iteration barely looks older than the students he'd teach!
You can tell this is from early in development; We hadn't even stopped drawing the eye-whites!
