28 - Gioz the Defender: Tower Defense

Greetings all!

I have been contacted to assist with a tower defense game being developed for most mobile and tablet platforms.

The game is called Gioz: The Defender. During the tower defense style action you take control of Gioz and are able to assist the towers in fending off the Creeps; an endless wave of evil minions.

My first task is to create the 10 different forms of Creeps. For this task I was requested to develop Creeps of 3 different sizes: Small (.5 units), Medium (1 unit), and Large (1.25 units).

To begin I gathered as much information and reference from the client as I could on what style he was looking for and from there I built up a proportion sheet. Next I created a base character mesh from which the other proportions would be sourced.

During the process I generated an even larger still Creep to use as reference and any possible boss Creeps.

From this Boss Creep mesh I tweaked, pushed, pulled, and smoothed my way to victory; 3 different proportioned meshes, all from the same source, and all with the same vert count and uvs.

This should make the animator's job a lot easier.

See below for all 4 of the base meshes:

My next task is to take the drawings I have done for each of the classes of Creep and create their armour and weaponry.

As always any feedback is greatly appreciated. Enjoy!
