I decided that the cinema also needed posters of the monsters that were bursting from its scenes as well as the projector that will be in the store room / projector room.
What will most likely happen during production, is that i will re use scree n2 for the other screens, and the projector room will act as the 3 projector rooms. Of course the environment will be tweaked, allowing alot of items to be refined so they look more understandable.
The Store room will help the player with instances within the game, it will hold necessary tools and other bits and pieces key to helping the player defeat the Hollywood Monsters throughout the game.This picture shows us the film reels and corner of the store room. This next one is the main lobby which will connect the player to the rest of the Cineplex. A lot of encounters with Dog will occur here. Mainly because of the Food!
Some corridors connecting us from the lobby to the 3 Cinema screens, the stairwell leading to the store room/projector room, and the downstairs toilets. MORE TO COME.
Lobby stand for all your Black and White food needs! Simple sketches that were tweaked to fit the style of the game. There will be a lot of focus in the lobby, especially when it comes to dealing with the character Dog.
Corridor leading to staircase which will then lead to the store room. Again no need to jumble up the area, i'll save that for the more "active" moments in the game. :)
Here I have a section of the store room/projection room.
Quite simple, everything is quite still, like you would find in a near abandoned or deserted location. Again hard shadows and strong silhouettes to present a strong image. More to come.
Here we are, a collection of finished assets that show what i am trying to produce in the final production. Im quite happy with the choice to only use Black and White. My method was simply sketching out a rough area in my sketch book, scanning them, pulling them up in photo shop and going over the decided areas with a smooth brush. I then had to work out areas of light and shadow and hopefully i've captuerd a strong look for the final piece. As you can see i took alot of source material from Sin City, Mad World and Citizen Kane...to name a few! Of course these are all of them and there will be plenty more!
