Conan

We did a pitch for a Conan iPhone game to line up with the new movie. The instructions were kind of vague but I was told we could take it in any direction we wanted so I went for the Frank Frazetta style Conan, just a big, grotesque brick of a guy, done up all stylized, kind of like Shank.

The immediate feedback was "This doesn't look like Jason Momoa". Wut-oh! A head swap was in order!

And while I was at it I figured I'd throw in one more:

Terrible Governor, pretty good Barbarian though.

I also did a couple of gameplay mockups to show what combat might look like. The lovely background is the work of Kelli Davis.

 

MLB Body Types

This was some quickie art I threw together for an MLB project we were bidding on. These were going to be the three main player body types.

We have Tim Lincecum as The Little Guy, Derek Jeter as Medium Man and Albert Pujols as A Larger Fellow.

 

THDJ Character Concepts

Here's a handful of character concepts I did when we ported Toys for Bob's THDJ from Wii over to PlayStation 2. I'll be honest: This game was a bit of a turkey. And I believe we used about zero of these concept drawings. In fact, Toys for Bob actually hated these if I recall. Way to embarrass yourself, Van Dalsem. Now get back to work. These toilets aren't going to clean themselves!
