The Saints Row project is something I have been planning for a while but never got around to starting. I was planning to complete this as part of my University studies in 2016/17.
The overall aim of this project is to create my own version of a Saints Row game which will be developed through concept art and in some cases, a final 3D scene render. Due to legal reasons, there will be a lot of changes to avoid copyright infringement.
I will be using mixed media to create the artwork. This will be done using Adobe Photoshop, Procreate For IPad, Pencil sketches and 3D Modelling in the final stages. I also aim to create at least 1 art piece per day to keep the project going.
The Backstory
The Saints Row Project will be set at least 6 years after the events of Saints Row The Third and hopefully incorporate current events in to the final idea.
The artwork will show an updated city and will aim to show off the setting of the game. There will also be character concepts, posed drawings and a full turnaround of the final characters.
Along with the city and character art, I also plan on creating artwork for specific buildings/areas along with weapons, vehicles and style items such as clothing.
I also aim to create new logos for store fronts, vehicles, clothing and gang affiliations within the game.
Timescale
I’m currently doing this alongside my university studies and Art School. Therefore I haven’t set myself a final time goal for this project as I think it would hinder the project.
First Steps
My first steps for The “Saints Row” Project is to research using previous titles in the series to get a better idea of character relations and the general art style used in the series. I will also be creating character, landscape, building, weapon and vehicle mood boards to give myself a more clear direction for the project.
