Making Wakandan Masks Interview w/ Salim Busuru | Jonah Lobe Jonah Lobe 2023-03-02 | Marvel Anatomy takes the perspective of T'Challa, so it was important for me that the book appear truly Wakandan. To do this, I needed help from someone who truly understood - and celebrated - African art.That's when I found Salim Busuru. Together, we created a collection of designs for the book, as well as a series of Wakandan-style masks for each chapter. Here is a truly great example of concept art: ideas that borrow from what came before, to create something new.#marvel #conceptart #wakanda

I created an Elden Ring Creature!!! #shorts #eldenring #conceptart Jonah Lobe 2022-12-10 | Enjoy this clip from my Making a Creature series featuring Elden Ring. In the full video, I analyze Elden Ring’s lore, gameplay, and art style to create an original monster that might conceivably live in The Lands Between — this one’s called “The King & the Council.” After making perfectly-formed superheroes for Marvel, it was sooo fun to create something horrible for myself.Are you into fantasy, world-building and art? If so, I highly recommend you take a moment to follow me on YouTube. We don’t just celebrate these aspects of books, movies, and games… we learn about them, and how to reproduce these qualities in our own work. As I say in my Elden Ring video… don’t just enjoy the game, learn from it!To find my channel, literally just google “Jonah Lobe YouTube.” 😉

The Nightstepper Turntable Jonah Lobe 2020-01-14 | I invented the Nightstepper for my self-branded course "Chimaera: A Creature Design Masterclass" (available on my website or Gumroad), but it wasn't until Sketchfab asked to team up for a Twitter Challenge that I first conceived of the Nightstepper Pendant.I wanted to challenge my audience to build something very small - something that wouldn't take up too much of their valuable time and effort - while at the same time challenging them to provide powerful examples of Silhouette, Body Type, Personality, Coloring, and Iconic Elements (the Five Pillars that I teach in Chimaera). At the last minute, I decided to make my little Night-stepper into a pendant - something pleasing and cute that I could have cast into real metal and made into a necklace to sell at Cons. So here it is, with the original coloring, gold, and silver.

The Worlds First Look at Arvak, Ever! Jonah Lobe 2018-10-18 | After we finished Skyrim, as the game reviews were just pouring in (and we were beginning to realize that maybe, against our wildest expectations, we'd created a game that was actually GOOD), the entire team took one week off their normal schedule for the first-ever Bethesda Game Studios "Game Jam!"The idea here was to just go crazy and create whatever we wanted for the game, without worrying how it would fit or where. I spent a day or so making the Hulking Draugr, and then I turned to the task that interested me far more: the creation of Arvak.Arvak did not yet have a name, nor did he have a place all carved out in Tamriel for him... but I'd seen a sketch by our concept artist Ray Lederer of a burning black horse skeleton and I said to myself "That. That's what I want to see in Skyrim!"So I spent that week modeling horse bones, giving them a good obsidian polish, and then heating them up until they caught flame. I experimented with a fire mane and tale, glowing sparks for eyes, and a burning trail for the horse to leave as it ran.With the help of my friend Sal, who is a video editor at Bethesda, I showed this video at the big team meeting at the end of that week. This was the first anyone had ever seen of the horse that would later become Arvak.I moved on to Fallout 4 right after the Game Jam, so I wasn't actually involved in putting him into the expansion. His colors were changed to a ghostly blue/purple, which I admit I wasn't much of a fan of, but I was just grateful to get him into the game at all. I hope you enjoyed him, at least!
The Grogan (from An Immortal Design) Jonah Lobe 2018-07-03 | The Grogan is an amphibious rage-beast. Highly territorial, this creature is flexible, fast, and above all, strong. Its oversized hands are built for punching; its legs can propel it in any number of directions with spectacular power, and the skin has pulled back from its famgs in a perpetual display of dominance.The Grogan was built for my Pluralsight course on Character Creation for movies and games. I poured my heart into this course - I really hope you enjoy it! In it, I cover the range of methods you'll need to create original, iconic characters. This course is designed to be timeless - technical pipelines come and go, after all - and should be of great use to both beginners and veterans alike! My hope is to not just make you a better Character Artist... but a better and more informed artist all around.Subjects covered include:•Mining/blending reference•What it means to be iconic•The stages of the sculpting process•The nature of surface•Personality and nuance•The power of line and shape•Anatomy, human or otherwise•The power of color and value•The texturing process...and so much more.Find the course here, on Pluralsight: https://www.pluralsight.com/courses/character-design-theory-development
The Giant Jonah Lobe 2018-05-23 | A lot of people don't know this, but I originally designed the Giant to look like my father, Jim Lobe (you can google him!). I wanted to inspire - not fear or distrust - but a sense of grandeur, of largeness and oldness... I wanted players to feel like children again, watching our parents move around the house. I also referenced the art of Adam Adamowicz (obviously - he was the concept artist there at Bethesda Softworks!), farmers from around the world (to get that creased-skin look) and some African tribal scarring.The model, fully-clothed, weighs in at around 12k polys.
