Plok Sketchbook

Coffee stained sketches, cool!

To my surprise I found that I kept a few of the very first sketches and designs for Plok. Witness the birth of an unsuccessful video game character!

First Ploks

These are the first few sketches I did for the character which would become Plok, from John's initial idea of a character wearing a hangman's hood. The very first sketch was in the margin of a layout for the Ironsword shop screen by the look of it.

First Plok sketch  Second Plok sketch  Third Plok sketch 

These were the first proper Plok drawings I did, once we decided that this was the game we were going to develop as a coin-op for Rare's Razz Board. I was still scared stiff of using colour at this point!

Doodles

These were early sketches for ideas which were part of the coin-op, but never made it into the SNES game, so became part of our wildly optimistic plans for sequels or further Plok games.

Suki sketch  Comfy chair sketch 

Western attempts as 'manga' are always ill-advised, so I'm glad 'Suki' never made it into a finished product...
