Game Art Design Year 2 - Timesplitters

After looking at my drawings, for some reason some of the characters reminded me of those included within the game Timesplitters which I thought would be a great position in which to start my reasearch, another reason is that Im going for a kind of crazy idea and Timpesplitters features many great concept designs such as the snowman and the duck for example and is designed in a light hearted feel and very humours which is the kind of attributes I'd like my character to contain, also Timesplitters features some great level designs which could come as great research for when I have to build an environment for the character to live in.




Here is a great video on youtube I found containing all the chracters in the game, as you can tell there are many unique designs such as mentioned before the duck and the snowman which you dont see in many other first person shooters, Im looking for something different for my character. I'm mainly concentrating on the robot chacracter featured within the game as thats the route im deciding on heading down. So the idea is to gain some ideas to potentiall improve my concept designs to create a robot im happy with.

I Really like the robot at 2.08 in the video and the way it is modelled through the use of simple shapes and would like to take influence from this design as its a kind of similar feel im looking at, the shapes are used really well and I like the way it has a kind of synful feel but is taken as light hearten and something that is suitable for ages which is something I want. Overall there is some great charcters included and I could potentially take influence from another charcater as im not wanting a basic robot design, Im looking for something more whacky and humerous as I want my design to be fun and stand out upon the many robots included in media. whether that be having a kind of fire demon robot or even a zombie robot, these are routes I could experiment in, overal this have been a great reference of research.








Heres just a few example OF Timesplitters charcter concept art I found while searching on the internet, while my designs wont really be influenced by these examples, its nice to look at some concept art and get ideas on how to present mine and its good to look at the posses, overall I really like the art and choice of media they've used.
