For the final half of my second year at university, I was part of a project named Journeyman.
Journeyman in a nutshell was the entire year group of artists, animators and designers broken down into five game making groups, a group associated with all animation and vfx, and another that created dynamic assets.
I ended up working in the latter group (named The Poly Pirates) as Team Lead and below is one of the characters, Mama Pig (alongside the Big Bad Wolf) was a character I created for the Team named Gingerbread Studios.
Their game was very stylised, emphasising on handpainted textures and the characters revolved around personalities from Fairy Tales, with a bit of a twist on who actually was the bad guy.
INITIAL CONCEPTS
Initial concepts for Mama Pig were very different at the start; Gingerbread studios knew they wanted the Three Little Pigs to be a bit twisted, but as the project progressed, they wanted to move away from the "butcher" like appearance below.
They soon mentioned within the initial stage of work that they felt the Three Little Pigs should have a Southern American style to them; so Mama Pig became a rather busty Southern Belle.
FINAL CONCEPTS
Above then are the final coloured renders for Mama Pig.
