Ill be following this up with a tutorial of how I made this for the site Cgcookie.com.
Still playing with rendering and lighting techniques. Total this one took about 17 hours. The soldier guy fighting the beast was after thought that wasn’t originally planned.
Chrono Trigger magus sketch. I didn’t realize how many different ways there were to interpret one character until i sat down for magus. Many questions consumed my mind as i was working this out, do you make him old or young? evil or peaceful? empowered or reserved? battle hardened or sleek and elegant?
So i ended up making him appear older, intelligent, powerful, and battle hardened. I even incorporated a few element i liked from the witcher 2’s Ilorveth because I thought they fit well together.
Just Marle left, though i think i would get bored with her so I may get a bit more creative with it. Then finally ill be able to start painting all of these. cheers
Heres the finished sketch of Frog from Chrono Trigger, He’s ready to be painted!
before I get to that though Ill be doing the final sketch of Ayla which will be a lot more difficult than this guy. Rather than doing a direct illustration with him I redesigned several aspects of him keeping the core of him intact.
I changed his, sleeves, main armor, added chain mail layer, added several tidbits to the waste area. Its tiny but on the buckle around his chest is a patch, with the triforce symbol for no reason. These new additions are mainly influenced by the designs in the Witcher 2, which im currently playing.
Videos documenting this painting will be available in the future, check back!
CHRONO TRIGGER sketches
Heres a quick screen capture of some chrono sketches i have been working on, I hope to get through the entire cast. First three are Lucca, Crono, and Robo. Be sure to check back for updates on the remainder of the cast and to find out if I give these a mean paint job.
