During the development of Resident Evil Revelations, there was a lot of trial and error involved in design decisions before the final outcome was reached. However, the vast majority of these attempts were not made public. This Resident Evil Revelations artbook is a behind-the-scenes look which unveils the secrets behind this horrific masterpiece. It is filled with sketches, early concepts and character & creature design processes that will give insights to the thought processes of the designers of a game that forms a crucial cornerstone of the Resident Evil franchise.

Wears a normal dress shirt with the sleeves down to his forearms. Holster is worn above the bulletproof vest. Leather lace-up shoes. His slacks have more material from the waist to the thighs, and then taper down.

The wound is from a Hunter. The blood on his slacks has a liquid-like glistening quality. The bandages have a triangle-shaped metal stopper. There is also another bandage over the patch on the wound, which has a hook that allows it to be wrapped tightly.

Launching Bones Designer’s Notes

The texture should be grotesque, with veins visible when bloated. The legs are similar in shape with a standard Ooze, but the texture should be bloated like its upper body.

Bloated Areas

The bones gradually get smaller.

Designer’s Notes

Slowly raises its arms and randomly bloats up. Its body should bloat up and move around randomly.

Bloats from taking damage and explodes.

Gets bloated as it takes damage, and will eventually explode. If in close proximity, it can cause the explosion on its own without taking more damage. Damages any enemies nearby when exploding as well.

Globster

Certain parts of its body are rotting, resulting in the outer skin peeling to expose inner organs.

They are weak on land but powerful in the water

Globsters encountered on land have simple movements and are excellent for target practice. You can dodge their attacks and aim for weak spots. They are large and grotesque. Globsters in the water move across the waves and will swallow whole anyone who is in their way.

Mouth opens in the direction of the arrows.

Appears suddenly and gives chase Howls and appears from strategic locations based on the terrain. It moves fast, giving the impression that it will chase you down. Its quick movements and low body position make it difficult to hit with bullets. It is not bothered by changes in altitude.

Designer’s Notes

Its texture is pale and bloated, like a drowned body. The reddish pink coloration in its mouth shouldn’t be too bright. Its body is covered in wrinkles and bumps. The texture should be dirty and non-uniform.

The direction of the fangs should be random to give of the impression of an organic entity. Bunches of nerves gather towards the center. The joint muscles contract and close when stepped on.

Designer’s Notes

The hall is modeled after an opera house. There is a large chandelier in the center, surrounded by four smaller chandeliers.

Blood drips down from the corpse on the chandelier, leaving a stain.

Modeled after Italian street cafés. The ceiling is stained glass and the lights towards the back are broken, making everything a bit dark. There appears to have been fighting here, as there are blood stains, glass shards and broken doors, and overturned tables and chairs. The plants are dead.

The overall lighting aesthetic/tone is orange. The store signs give off colors like green and red.

The light source is the sun that shines through the cracks in the rocks. Please display the silhouette of fallen trees and dried grass above the chasms.

The ropes and pillars cut across your field of view. When you move closer to the hole, you can see slightly further down.

The water from melted snow drips down the icicles. Besides the puddles, there is a stream of water under the planks of wood.

It’s the early afternoon but the blizzard makes everything dark and reduces visibility.
