Chaos Engines…

All of these images were promotional images/test renders from my time at Instinct Tech. We had done a bunch of Soviet propaganda style artwork that would have been used in the broader Dreadnought universe, it seemed fit in well with the fact the Dreadnought of the title was a Russian warship. We played with cyrillic fonts and reduced colour palettes , usually starting with a cel-shaded render of some of the game assets in Brazil RS, two of which are below.

The monster truck and locomotive were also 3D models rendered in a 2 colour cartoony style, these images were ideas for t-shirt print designs to promote the company at GDC back in 2003 or 2004. The idea was a play on the word “engine”, so the images comprised large vehicles that could only be run on a powerful engine. by a The remaining images are from the Prospector demo, the logo from some look development and the image of him reading was a pose test when I did a cover for Develop magazine focussing on middleware. I must have mocked up close to 20 covers, I’ll post the final print version in a future post.
