Back to drawing

In my original idea my main char was some ex military type figure, i knew this sort of character is used in nearly all games these days and its fairly common but i thought i could work with it.

I had written a 3-4 page backstory from the perspective of the main character leading up to the events before the actual game takes place as the idea would be you would find a diary or some sort which would be used to replay the events in the game back in the past. After much thinking i couldnt decide on how exactly to show this so i scrapped the whole idea and changed the main character which now makes the back story totally irrelevant but i can still submit it in the document i suppose.

Apart from this ive done yet more overhead concept designs for the map layout again i dont think im particularly happy with any of them and im still not sure how much ill be able to even create using Unreal 3 which is why im trying to develop my drawing skills more so i can show what i was aiming for in concept art at least.

An example of one of my overhead images, least they look much better online now i have a scanner.
