Echobreaker on Steam

A lightning-fast precision speedrunner where you pilot an armoured rig that can manipulate time itself. Every second matters, and going faster means risking everything.

2/2 The process: In photoshop, start with a sceencapture of the ingame engine Fix up the shadows on the ground Sort out the tail (always in view) Paint over the shadows on Hellboy's body (1st post image) Add gradient, correct brightness and coloured bounce light in shadows

Image is a screencapture of Hellboy Web of Wyrd in mid development in Unity engine. Hellboy stand's towards the camera, fist clenched, in amongst the spooky ruins of an old crumbling sun bleached Italian city. This image will be the starting point on which I add fixes towards a final visual target for us aim for in game.

For those interested: I'm thinking of sharing artwork I've created for projects (mostly for games) in the past and the present and also for what might be the future. The posts may dash around the timeline a bit but I'll try to explain each piece as I go. Now to figure out what to start with...
