Silhouette Designs

To better aid my future designs such as developed sketches and the final Photoshop concept I needed to start looking at more outlets for me to sample, test and experiment to see what would help. One of these is character silhouettes. These help rough-up some designs and give quick inspiration for later. 

Here are my silhouette character designs...

Texture Experiments

To better aid the look of my final Photoshop concept, I needed to execute a look/feel of a Robot/Mecha by experimenting with some textures in Photoshop. Not only will this be good practice for my Photoshop concept but will help me better understand what does/does not work texture-wise. 

Here are the texture experiments I did...

For these I drew up some basic silhouettes and filling in those silhouettes with metal and robot textures whilst painting over them with a colour scheme that fitted the textures. For example, the first one is black, white and grey so I used those colours when I painted over it.
