New animation

15.05.2013:

Here the first animation done for this milestone. Just realized I forgot mentioning it the day I announced the further work with Javier. I also do some extra animations for the main character. Here you can see the block animation, also there will be a kick and an uppercut one.

Afterwards I did some sketching and thought about the next animation. See yah!

Buttons

11.05.2013:

Here a first idea for a button design I tossed away instantly, because he want's half-transparent buttons. Also the icons on the buttons should be the main focus, so I went for a more simplified design. In the second image you see some analysis of already existing buttons looked at in current mobile games. And also the first concepts for Javier and some sketches =D

Concepts for the burning city

07.04.2013:

After the freaking long day work at Friday I needed a little time out yesterday. So here finally the concepts for the second background. In contrast to background #1 this one is only repeatable in the horizontal plane and not in all four directions. And it's also a lot more fun as painting rocks all day :D
