FANTASY CHARACTERS

Ignotus— A character designed by Tyler, risen from the dead and covered in ash, he is of two minds (literally)— one, exploring his new undead “life” with fresh and eager eyes. Two, finding those who took his original life from him. He is not the body, he is the ash covering the skin— summoning weapons and blade from said ash as needed.

REVISITING OLD FRIENDS: 2017 vs 2023

In 2017 Tyler worked with several individuals to design and illustrate a group of fantasy adventurers (including his own Ignotus.) It was decided to re-vamp and re-tell the story of these characters in 2023 in a “rebooted” fashion, and the character art was long-overdue for a re-draw.

JUST A THOUGHT: TY

Originally intended to be a rotoscoped 3D character in Tyler’s Film “Just a Thought,” this character reference was for Ty's 3D model in Blender, drawn using Clip Studio Paint and Adobe Photoshop.

These are the final forms used for animation in Adobe After Effects and Adobe Character Creator along with addition frame-by-frame animation for small touches after the 3D modeling method fell through. They were drawn in Clip Studio Paint and Adobe Photoshop.
