SEEDS Project - Character Art Preproduction

Hey there!

In 2021, when I was still working at Lightbulb Crew, we were exploring under the creative and art direction of Alexandre Chaudret directions for our new project - since cancelled - that, if you played the previous game this very same team put out before that, you might recognize which universe it was meant to be. The art team was the GOAT, I hold this project and working with some of these folks very dear in my heart.

I was responsible for the 3D Character Art research, finding how to translate our intent into 3d models and textures. Keep in mind the images you see here were work in progress and will unfortunately never be finished or part of any game.

To quote my friend Alex, "SEEDS" was meant to be a JRPG with a touch of rogue-lite, in a universe that mixed Giger/Nihei inspirations with classic dark fantasy, all in organic armor and titanic monsters - we called this art style "Giger Fantasy" between us!" " it's a good summary of what we were going for.

Kuddos to the other artists and animators in the team for creating and exploring such cool stuff together. Great career memories.
