Hello Everyone!
So for the past 2 weeks I’ve actually had a bit of free time to work on what ever I wanted, so i experimented with some processes I hadn’t ever done before! (in photoshop at least!)
So each of these drawings were about 15-20 mins each minus the more complex ones which were about an hour
Note that is all production design for a private project I’ve been working on with Brendan (the other guy who never posts!)
So first up is the Kaiten!
These guys are essentially robotic bugs who are made of an alloy known in this universe as Kaiten so their name follows. The idea behind them is they have 2 modes, Standard Mode which is essentially an insect and the second which is Weaponized where a portion of their body reforms into a weapon (Differs from insect to insect)

The Mantis (its so bad! haha)

Next up is Grant and his new development!
Grant who’s the sole survivor of a Kaiten attack at age 9 survives out in the wilds for 10 years before he’s found by our second protagonist; Elsa. Grant is determined to find out what happened to his parents and friends all those years ago and this obsession with closure will send him to some dark places including becoming the thing that destroyed his home; The Kaiten King. The KK is the figurehead of the Kaiten. He invokes his will upon them, being able to speak through them and take over full control from afar

Next up is a small portion of Elsa! nothing really changes…
And finally for the first time! Bonnie’s Development!
Bonnie is our protagonist engineer, who’s figured out a way to deconstruct Kaiten parts and reconfigure them into armor and weaponry. Shes obsessed with upgrading her own gear and figuring out new ways of integrating new weapons into her attire. She chooses a more classic look to her outfit because “Why not look good dispatching Kaiten?”
Tentatively she has an eye for Thorn which turns into relationship later on
So this first image was before her character re-imagining, I have no idea what happened to her proportions
These final set of images i couldn’t really fit anywhere above but feature some key things in the new development of this production.
Grant Vs the Kaiten King v.1
Elsa and her Kaiten Steed, complete with beetle gauntlet
The insectasaur (A dinosaur insect hybrid who will play a huge part in Elsa’s arc)
Until next time!
