So things have been kind of hectic irl so I haven't had a lot of time for posting and art have been low. With that said I'm currently working on the concept art for the 9th monster in Monster Hunter Pocket, meaning I can return to pixel art soon.
But, since it has been awhile and speaking of concept art, I thought I could share some of the work that goes into making the Monster Hunter Pocket sprites (eventhough I was meant to share these sketch pages initially and forgot but don't worry about that...). Starting off, here's the three current monsters: Rathalos, Lagiacrus and Pukei-Pukei!
Next up we have the remaining returning monsters: Rajang, Barioth and Nergigante! (Nergigante took up so much space they needed two pages)
And finally we have two of the four new monsters being added to the roster: Arkveld and Mizutsune!
Drawing these monster has been a ton of fun, and I could go on and on about the different design aspects of each monster (like have you noticed the little "cleets" on Barioth's paws?) but I would be here forever.
I'm going to end this one here cause I've got another post to make with an announcement, so I'll see you in again in a second!
