Description
Earlier this year I did some freelance concept work for the upcoming educational game The Crystal Core Β which is currently in production atΒ BitloftI covered a variety of subject matter in my time with them, and as you can see, these were concepts for crystals. More specifically, these are the earliest concepts for the Knowledge Crystals, the primary collectible in the game. At this stage, the idea was still pretty loosely defined, so I was throwing out a variety of crystalline forms, ranging from fairly standard shapes to begin with to wackier stuff toward the bottom. The only definitive requirement was that they be clearly visible in the game's various environments, so I made sure they all had bright shiny colors and high contrast that would be unlikely to blend into any potential backdrop. I don't yet know what the final Knowledge Crystal design ended up being, but since even my own work on additional Knowledge Crystal concepts went a different direction from here, it's safe to assume none of these designs were ultimately used.

The crystal designs really do look great, especially with the first, second, ninth and tenth designs. There's something about the ninth coloured crystal that really grabs my attention though.

Thanks! I'd say that 9 was probably my favorite of this batch as well. While it didn't start with the idea, it came out looking sort of like a really stylized flame and that totally worked for me. It's the legendary promethean flame of knowledge!

I've definitely agree that the ninth crystal has that sensational style as well. I don't know about you, but that crystal to me has a odd resemblance to the Outsiders from XCOM: Enemy Unknown, perhaps due to the shape outlines for the ninth crystal.

Having never played an XCOM game or even followed the series much, I can assure you that any similarity there is purely coincidental. But having now Googled it, yeah, I can certainly see some similarity to the Outsiders. Thanks for noting that.
