Check 'em out guys...Total there are going to be 3 models per gang type, 9 gang types in the game.

Also civilians + cops + SWAT. Lots more concepts coming.

Props go to my art studio.

Japanese Yakuza


Biker


Irish


Cuban


Japanese School Girl gang (P.S. they're deadly)


A box-art concept from my art studio, with some tweaking it could be amazing...I really love the hand+bullets...I think it's great.

Hey...been following your journal for almost a year now and its insanly impressive what u've achieved!! As for the concept box art, the hand and bullet does look great, not so sure on the split face at the bottom tho...

Keep up the good work :)

Thanks a lot Darren! I agree with your commments about the box-art. Thanks for posting, I appreciate it.

Somehow the hand feels more like 'waiter' than 'gangster' to me. I also don't know about the split face at the bottom, it kinda looks like a glitch at first glance and distracts from the good looking title.

Just my two cents though :)

Intersting comments, I agree somewhat...I told them to give it a shot, I think the hand is solid, though good point about the waiter think...it has potential...I'm gonna try and grab the .psd from them and do my own little somtin' somtin' on it. I want them to keep making new box-arts though with different styles. This is something different, which is good.

Interesting box art. I didn't think of the waiter thing until somebody mentioned it. I'll agree that the split face looks a bit odd.

Needs more bullet holes.. =p

Does the helicopter on the box art mean that there will be some in the game? Don't promise something you can't keep. ;-)

So I'm covered.

The schoolgirl is... special :) She reminds me of the insane girl with the ball-chain-thing in Kill Bill.

I like the hand/bullets but for some reason the first thing I thought was that the sleeve needed cufflinks.

Yes. Bonus points if you can guess who inspired the Irish gangster. And no it wasn't Indiana Jones lol, though he kinda looks like him. It's a tough one, but the face is the best clue.

I can't wait to see the next batch of concept drawings ;-D Should be done soon.

Dunno, Brad Pitt in The Devil's Own? Probably a bit far fetched though.

Wow. I laughed pretty hard when I saw the schoolgirl gang. It's going to be hilarious when some tough Italian mobsters or some rugged, street-wise Black gangsters get beaten to a pulp by my armada of cute but ruthless Japanese schoolgirls.

You sir, just gained another future customer ;) Keep up the good work :)

Although, your art studio may want to alter the uniform of the schoolgirl. It looks too similar to Gogo Yubari's of Kill Bill and there might be some infringement.

lol thanks...well it'll look different enough once it's in-game. Besides they can't copyright a uniform lol.

Wow, at first i thought those were renders, not concept art.

I like the hand in the box but the faces... I don't know, maybe removing the white line and having a single head instead (or a silhouette in red at the right side). And the background looks good but I think the black side is... too black, maybe fading the bottom to red in the same way as the red side fades to black?

Yea, good points...I'm working on getting the .psd so I can work some magic.

I think maybe having two gangsters face eachother with half of their profile visible, also I'd add some kind of stroke/bloom effect behind the logo, and make it a single color, I would add a more detailed skyline on the black side, and some other things.

But the hand w/the bullets is F-in sweet IMO :-D
