The I Primarch

2012-01-11T02:28:00.001-08:00

Lion El'Jonson, son of the Emperor of Mankind, Primarch of Dark Angels Space Marine Chapter. A sleep within the Rock, yet to rise to lead the Dark Angels for the final battle.

--------------------------------------------
Greetings all, yes i know it has been a long time since i sketched the Lion, and didnt get the chance to paint the piece. But finally here we are
The original idea from the sketch was to paint the Lion's final moments surrounded by the Watchers In The Dark, but then i thought that there is no point in repainting the whole armor again specially that i already started with the main figure. So i changed my mind and went with something more mythical and spiritual.
I enjoyed doing this piece and i hope you liked it too.

Marot

2011-12-24T02:19:00.001-08:00

I went back to my sketchbook and started designing some ideas I had in mind for sometimes now. mixing Arabic calligraphy and zombie warriors :P .The theme is not 100% done yet as am still putting more ideas together.
Marot (written in Arabic) is the name of one of the two fallen angels of Babylon, known for teaching humans the arts of dark magic and sorcery.

This is going to be part one of three.

Project Flame Demo: Level Design Concept

This is the level design for Project Flame Demo, a 2D platformer puzzle/horror game we worked on in 2010 at Nucleus Games. I never published the level design along with most of the concept art for the game, so i think i will just go ahead and publish them here.

2011-12-15T01:31:00.000-08:00

Started working on an idea for T-shirt designs. the concept is still in progress but i got the theme done. I will have to sketch some more in order for me to get the feel right.
Marot is one of the two fallen angels of Babylon, and the theme is going to focus on Islamic ornaments, weaponry and magic.
I will be posting more updates soon.

A Grey Knight

2011-11-24T01:14:00.000-08:00

well finally its done. i spent the past three days just coming back to it adding some final touches here and there.
so the main objective was to redraw the same scene with a different camera angle and to fit the drawing in a novel cover size.
i had some problems regarding the perspective, so i did a couple of tests before settling on this one. colors are a bit saturated :S but i think its just how my color palate is :P
and above all i enjoyed painting it :D

Mortarion work in progress 1

2011-08-21T23:55:00.000-07:00

I decided to go with a darker background against a more lighter foreground. i took out of the cape, the lower part so far. but probable will come back to it later. a lot more work should be done to the armor metal. got some cool textures that i want to try on it :D
i was thinking of adding some veins or tentacles... more Nurgleish.
i liked the idea of having a corps on his right shoulder guard, planning to make it a fly nest. will c where that will take me :D

Mortarion sketch

2011-08-05T07:23:00.001-07:00

The VIII Primarch

2011-07-30T04:44:00.000-07:00

Konrad Curze, The Night Haunter son of the Emperor of Mankind.

----------------------------

Final update:

Most of the work was done to the background and armor, painting the blood pool along with the rocks. the armor received a lot of touches here and there, fixing the colors and adding textures.
I added the black halo as a final touch, i like halos on unholy beings (or maybe holy in this case, we would never know)

Curze: work on progress 4

2011-07-24T04:35:00.000-07:00

Another Curze update. Well, I should have uploaded an earlier version but I wasn’t satisfied with the face, so I repainted it. Most of the work is done to the armor, a lot of rendering and details here and there. The blood pool is still a concept and I am not sure weather if I am going to keep it like this or not… I think I will leave till the end.

Curze: work on progress 3

2011-06-23T04:48:00.000-07:00

this is the second layer of colors. i adjusted the body, making it a little bit smaller. i redraw the legs and the abs. overall shape defining.

Curze: work in progress 2

2011-06-21T03:36:00.000-07:00

I did an overall adjustment to the body. I painted the face first, if i didnt like how the face is going to be i will cancel the whole project... so yeah

Curze sketch

The XIth Primarch from sketch to final

The XIth Primarch

2011-06-13T07:19:00.000-07:00

The XIth Primarch

Number XI crushed into an ocean world, risking being drowned, he was saved by sea hunters and been raised by them. Living in a solidarity society of both humans and aliens, XI didn’t take much time to become the king of hunters. Later XI was found by the God Emperor and accepted to serve the Imperium of Mankind but not for a long, when he was accused of heresy for supporting a Craftworld in a conflict long forgotten, he and his legion were cast out from the Imperium by his father the Emperor to be forgotten just like his brother the Second.

Now thousands of light years away from the Imperium, XI fights his way through with his legion allied with the Eldars.

This is my attempt to create a concept for one of the Unknown Primarchs from the universe of Warhammer 40k.

Bezra Master game concept

2010-05-07T10:38:00.000-07:00

“Bezra Master” is a 2D platformer was meant to be a finished game for a challenge in an Arabic Gaming forum, but because we didn’t have time to finish it ( we started really late on working on it)
it still in the design stage.

The story is simple, the little bear(didn’t give him a name yet) is going to help his island from the machines pollution.

Game play: The island is split into 5 parts (levels), each one with different enemies to face and a different strategies to use. Collecting seeds will help the bear in replanting the forest in the island, each part of the island needs a number of trees to plant in order for that level to be completed.

Water drops helps the bear in keeping his special Seeds alive during the level.
Adding a shop in the island was one of many ideas that we thought of, where the bear could buy weapons and different Seeds to help him through the levels.

The special Seeds are: the life seed, power seed, and jump seed. Each one will give different kind of buff to the bear, and we came up with different concept for using them.

The basic concept for using the Seeds is planting them in which the seed will last for duration of time, giving the bear its power within its range. When the time finish the seed will stop giving any more power and will need the bear to use his water to let the seed give it power again. Each seed can be carried around to help the bear in other parts in the level.

Another concept was to keep the seeds planted in the ground, giving power in its area and can’t be carried around.
