Wasteland is a concept about two sisters who have to find the last safe place after their bomb shelter has been destroyed, while learning how to navigate the new world, riddled with fallout.
Includes progress work along with final designs.
Rough style frame for Wasteland. Done digitally on Photoshop.
Exploration Silhouettes for one of the two main characters, Ash. The goal was to create a tough, older sister vibe, and due to the nuclear fallout she is as covered as she can be to protect from the negative effects of the environment.
Taking one of the silhouettes for ash and clarifying and detailing the design. Having her clothes look more ripped and patched together than her sister's would help sell the look that she goes outside more often and that Ash gives better things to her sister to keep her safe.
The Silhouettes for Ash, Mal’s little sister. Keeping her looking young and playful to contrast with Mal was important, and keeping her silhouette from looking too old was a bit of a challenge, and a big part of keeping her looking younger was having her hair up.
The final design based on Ash’s silhouette. Although she’s had to grow up, small things like her cat socks and unlaced/untied boots call back to her inner kid.
Mal and Ash’s character designs with expressions. Having a few of their colours tie in together helps show that they are connected (IE, Mal has the green of Ash’s cardigan, and Ash has a lighter version of the purple in Ash’s jacket).
