Doodling with Alchemy

Today I decided to do some concepts unluckly I was not so inspired so I started to do some sketches in Alchemy for just an hour of warm up.

Alchemy is a completely free drawing application.
It is indeed a great program when you look for some ideas as it features many tools to generate shapes in a procedural way that speed up the process of putting something very quickly on the canvas and modifiers that distort and modify your own drawings.
Looking at the generated canvas you can try to extrapolate some interesting concept from the mess.

You can read more about all its features in the alchemy official site.

Generally humans are very good to recognize faces so 80% of the time you will spot various kind of faces and most of the time very stylized ones.

This sometime distract me a little when I want to do a very different kind of concept so today I just started with the pressure brush and basic mirroring without other procedural generators or modifiers.

This one I colored (always in Alchemy using a palette from http://www.colourlovers.com/) is a possible enemy for my game.

I'm not totally happy with that concept as I was torward a very different style , but it could be a starting point to run some concept evolution iterations to come with something better.

Another thing I noticed today is that I really like to draw robot things...it is something to remember for a future project.I hate to admit it but everytime I start to work on something I begin to lose interest in it and start to think at thousand of other things I wish to do ,this time robots but can be whatever else.

I'm writing this blog also in the hope it helps me to remain on track.

Hoping to make some progress and show something more related to Anarchy the next time I'm going back to work.
