Merlin’s Rage: The Charactering Check out a bunch of the heros and villains that I made for the game.

I set the tone and direction for all the characters in the new iPhone RPG puzzle game.  Here’s a bunch of them.

I had two months to create pretty much all of the art for this game, or I should say all of my part of the art (which was still a grand majority.)  As such I had to work extremely fast.  I did a ton of sketches, about 150 different character sketches in Corel Painter.  Then I took the ones that I would bring to completion and threw them into Adobe Illustrator.  After I had the vectored character, I imported it into Adobe Photoshop and added some quick texture and lighting effects.  All in all, each character took an average of 3 to 4 hours.  Lightning strike-kapow!  I got into a rhythm and churned that butter.  My wife and kids didn’t really see me for two months, haha.  It was a good experience though.  I got a ton of practice and had a bunch of fun while doing it.

I would turn on Netflix and listen to random documentaries and stuff while I worked that two months.  As a result, I know a lot more about the lost city of Petra, the monarchies of the dark ages, random animals and various other eclectic topics I would otherwise have no knowledge of.  In other words, I’m ready for Jeopardy.  Well, maybe kids Jeopardy.
