Weekly Report #177
[h3]Hello Stalkers![/h3]
For now, we will set aside graphics from various locations around Chernobyl, but not forever! We'll revisit them later to show you how everything was originally supposed to look in the game. Today, as promised, we’ll take a closer look at the first concept art of the main characters of Chernobylite. Let's start with our main character.
We’ve covered Igor extensively in one of the reports from last year, when we showed his profile in more detail. Below you will find a link to the material.

In that report you had the unique opportunity to see the concept sketches, based on which the final version of Igor's appearance was created: in a stalker outfit, in a hood and with a gas mask covering his face.
However, it must be admitted that working on Igor's appearance was not easy. There were numerous ideas on how he should present himself to the players. These ideas were translated into numerous concept sketches, showcasing Igor in various situations: wearing a jacket, a coat, camouflage, with and without a hood. Even Igor's face underwent constant changes, with different versions featuring or without glasses, with a beard resembling Walter White or Gordon Freeman, or even longer
There was even an option for Igor without hair!
There were a lot of combinations, but in the end a consensus was reached. This is where the power of concept art lies: to be able to transfer all our ideas about a given element of the game on paper, and then be able to choose the best features and combine them into one.
Although, the example of Tatyana shows that even the most promising idea can end up in the trash. But more about that next week!
[h3]That's it for today![/h3]
Take care, Stalkers!
