Making Ink Bloom Part 1



Wanted to get back to the chatting about some art. In a recent interview with Ninja Mountain Podcast Jim and I discussed the creative process. We talked about what it was like to work together and the many conversations back and forth through email and phone. ( if you would like to hear that interview go here http://ninjamountain.blogspot.com/2010/08/episode-77-ink-bloom-steve-ellis-ndas.html)Here is a concept sketch that grew out of a conversation we had about Hachi's companion character Pigweed. We felt pretty good about it so ran with it. The other is a version of Pigweed's house. We knew that his house was going to play a roll in Hachi's story. Here is a previously never before seen concept of Pigweed's domicile. The original thought was for a more organic design. But decided later to make it more geometric.

Enjoy!
