Dev Update #4

Development on Cover has been going smoothly for the last week i have made great strides in the art department, And have brought on a talented Character Artist Adam "Massbot'' Curtis who's worked on games like House Of The Dead : Overkill for the Wii and is currently working at digi-guys you can take a look at some of his awesome work here ( www.curtad.com )

In other news I have nailed down hand painting textures. I had to learn how to paint textures properly here are the progression shots from making the cliffs from beginning to end:

As you can see by the the three shots I had trouble portraying the painterly style in the beginning. After throwing myself into the work, drawing in the lines and other aspects of the rock i was able to get this end result.

The environment art is not the only thing I changed, I took the old texture I made for my Triple barreled shotgun and had a second pass at it only focusing on the main features I was able to come out with this result which I am very happy with:
