Machineflesh 3D Challenge Entry: Lei Qian

[qian2]

hey guys, how you doing. i am having trouble uplode my image, as you can see i am a total newbie, so no big deal. here is me idea: i wanna give human the plant's photosynthesis ability so we only need sun light, H2O, CO2 to live. i think this is cooler than being a vegetarian. the background is in the future when man destroy all the plants and finally realize the mistake, they made the first human plant modle001"green angel". the title will be "the last plant".
what do you think?
will try to uplode my concept drawing later.
wish you and all the newbies good luck.





let the nooobs rock!!!

[qian2]

why can't i upload my image!
it says "server error"

[qian2]

oops

[qian2]

well, now it says:


"Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted at (null):0 (tried to allocate 1584 bytes) in /home/httpd/vhosts/cgnetworks.com/httpdocs/libs/imagelib.php on line 8"

[JCG]

How big is your image? It has to be smaller than 150kB. The memory size seems too big for a 150k image.

I hope it's something simple like that because I'm intrigued by the "last plant" (Go noobs! :) )

[qian2]

Thanks a lot, will try.

......

[qian2]

cool, JCG, thanks again.

so..uh..should i change the hair style? it looks kinda....i don't know.









let the noooooooooooobs rock.

[JCG]

Yey! I'm glad it worked!

The hairstyle lookes kind of fairy-ish, which I think is appropriate. I've seen quite a few elves with similar style. Unless you wanted to make it be weeds or leaves?
The eyes look a bit angry/evil, but it might just be the scan.(?)

[eYadNesS]

I'm sorry, but I feel this charatcer from Blue Submarine!...

[qian2]

yeah, it does look similar to that picture u show.
go to a anime web site you will see lots of these because they all japanese style girls with similat post and hair.

so what do you think i should do to make it look special or say unique?

another drawing of the same concept.
help me out guys.
i can't get the right picture of how the plant girl should look like.

[kenjidenouye]

at first glance your girl looks like she has wings...could maybe look more plant like if the plant part was exagerated...you could do a lot with the texture and color of her skin in the end to give the idea...more plantish characteristics like flowers for hair or something like that might help show your idea...

[qian2]

i think this is very helpful, thanks a lot.
will make it better.

same concept again
she stands in water with light coming down.

[peanut]

I dont know why is everyone orgasming about getting other peoples drawing and say "ooouuppps look he took from somewhere else, im smart because i saw it first"

Anyone is perfectly entitle to get "ideas" "inspiration" from the web, hentai mangas, and what else.

eYadNesS, his concept doesnt remotely looks like what your displaying, yet he cant come over with the idea he wants.

[qian2]

i totally agree. everybody needs inspiration from the world.
that is very true. by the way, do you think the leaves looking thing coming out of her back works. any recommendation?:wavey:

[DaVee]

I agree with last peanut post. And your fist sketch was more sensual than the other you post, i think.
You should keep it.

If i understand what you mean, plants are on her back and she need light, water, CO2, C6H12O6 (it's sugar no..?), to be alive.
--
Just tell me why did you put your character in water. The water can be bring by an other making. No..? for example by pipes.

Well, i forget it's your idea and not mine, sorry.

I have a preference for your first sketch.

To be continued... :thumbsup:

[qian2]

thanks a lot for the tip, those are very helpful.

i am thinking to put her in the future. it is a highly industrial city where all the plants have been destroied. there are holes on her leg for her to get H2O kinda functioning like root. when she is doing the photosynthesis (having dinner) she needs sunlight, H2O, and CO2. she doesn't need O2 to live because she can produce that.

i think that can be a solution for human, after they consume everything on earth.

i will do a more detail drawing to get the feeling right.

thanks again for the tip DaVee.:applause:

[DaVee]

Ok! i know the process of photosynthesis (and you're perfectly right for the O2).

--
Under water we can't see holes.
About the industrial city, no doubt that will enrich your concept.
--
Your visions about futur are right. i'm happy to see someone trying to find solution for the futur. I think water will became a problem as much as the atmosphere.

Will be présent to see the next.

:thumbsup: :beer:

add a little stream on the leaves because water come into the body through the sells on the legs and arms, then some of the water go away in the prosess of photosynthesis. i thinking to give the leaves and cells a plastic looking surface, what do you suggest?

[qian2]

i need some help guys. should i keep her more human looking like this or should i go more alian looking say change the face to some kind of plant looking face? the story is about a human girl being changed though. i feel like the image is not strong enough.
thanks.

[jddog]

just an idea... without hair but witha mechanical brain ??? mmm

if u change a human... u change the brain, otherwise it still aways humean, no ?

jdd

[qian2]

Tough one...maybe if you go down the line of changing the face and skin to a type of dry wood texture...on the other hand it is the almost wild look on the girls face that i really like.

[qian2]

hey, that's such an idea, drawMonger, i better try it.:bounce:
