As promised, here is some of the work I did on Dragons of Atlantis. I primarily did buildings for the outpost so the rest of the work I want to show will wait for another post. I'm displaying the buildings at approximately 200% the size that they would appear at in the game. Certain elements aren't rendered fully the way I would want them to be simply because when you shrink them down, you can't see that level of detail. Some things have been exaggerated for the same reason too.
BELOW: These are the 3 levels of Farms you can build in your outpost’s field.
BELOW:These are the Training Camps you can build in your outpost to train special troops different from the ones you would train in your city’s Garrison. When I was assigned to do the Training Camps, we weren’t sure exactly what sort of troops we were going to have train there so it left my design options way open. I dubbed the camp “Super Mutant Armory” and created a design that left a lot of room for all kinds of troops to train. The water for aquatic training, rocks for climbing, a platform for flying, etc.
BELOW: These are the 3 levels of outpost Muster Points. The Muster Point is a meeting area for troops and through it, you can control the movements of your military (send out attacks & reinforcements, etc.).
Here are screenshots of the game so you can see how the buildings appear to the player. I also designed and painted the outpost Walls (these are the Level 8 Walls). Disregard the overlapping shadow of the Dragon's Keep on the Walls... as of the time this screenshot was taken, the Keep placement needs to be readjusted.
Fun fact: the Zolmec woman avatar in the upper left is our former character designer, Rosie. She denies this, of course, but no one who knows her who sees the design doubts it's her.
The rest of the outpost buildings were done by my coworker (and college classmate) Chantrelle. You can play Dragons of Atlantis on Facebook here.
