Ryn, Alt. Outfit (Fading Skies) (Patreon)

Some freelance work from last year.

You may already know that I've contributed a sizable amount of concept art to the "Fading Skies" game project, which had a successful Kickstarter campaign last year (a few months before Horizonaut's campaign). For one of the reward tiers, I was tasked with designing an unlockable, alternate outfit for Ryn, the player character.
Out of the nine initial concepts I created, the director chose several elements to combine into a single outfit. I moved forward with the mockup that he created, drawing a reference sheet for the 3D artist work from.
Reference sheets for projects like this are often quite different from those common with artists' OC's. Whereas many artists' character sheets are meant to show off the character and their personality, reference sheets like this one are intended to make the modeler's job easier. Many of the notes and callout drawings here reflect this objective. As far as reference sheets go, this is one of the simpler ones that I've created. Some designs require far more references in order to be modeled.

The final model was created by Álvaro Ruiz. You can get a better view of the finished outfit here. You can wishlist Fading Skies on Steam.
