Comms Device - Concept Art

This is a concept piece of a communication device created for a personal project. It originally started as a quick idea between two larger artworks, but I ended up exploring it further to test a workflow that incorporates more 3D. The idea behind the device is that the player can scan the surrounding area and uncover points of interest or enemies by playing a small mini-game. I also designed four themed versions to explore visual storytelling and functionality in different contexts: Expedition Red – Easy to locate in the field Signal Orange – Patched and worn, used by support crews Forest Camo – Stealthy and made for overgrown ruins Hazard Yellow – Bright and readable in extreme conditions This was a really fun side project that let me combine quick 3D blockouts and Substance Painter with painted-over details to speed up the design process.
