Hi all, this is my concept for the machineflesh 2D challenge, I still working on the mecanical detail.
I hope you like it

[grafi]

nice, got any story to go with it?

[pau]

Hi grafi
I´m thinking about the story, but the essential concept is about a new stonger race of lions trained for war who developed mecanical parts to be more lethal and dangerous.
A new warrior has born.
Thanx for ask :wavey:

[jawine]

Be careful with enhancements that have to do with fighting/war there are quite a few around in the contest already. But I didn't see a lion yet ;)

[bonestudio]

I hope you'll do the entire lion

[pau]

Any coments are very welcome.

[rattlesnake]

great detailing girl!, this is becoming a real art piece... maybe the toung needs some high lights and maybe need a bit pink color....but this is a wip.... youre doing a really cool work:thumbsup: keep rocking:buttrock: ill be tuned for more action!

[pau]

Hi snake, I´m going to check the toung, anyway, thanks for your nice coments.

Hi, i love the detail on your lion, youre a real fur artist. however I think there is something strange in the lower jaw, there is not enough tension on the cheeks and the position of the jaw mekes it look like it´s dislocated. maybe if you back it up and turn the fangs forward will help. i love the colors but it would be great if you give the mouth a more "wet" feeling.
Good luck, keep it going.:)

[duddlebug]

There's some great texture in that colour work... in the fur on the nose and the mane.

have you got any plans for the backfground?

[pau]

Sorry guys I couldn´t answer before

justsantiago: Thanks for your coments, I´m going to check the jaw, Thank you

:thumbsup:


duddlebug: I´m not sure yet about the background, so, any suggestion would be great!!!

:wavey:

[rattlesnake]

Update!...Update!:bounce: :bounce:

[sketchfiend]

Great texture work and painting, looks excellent. As for a suggestion for your background, considering youre going for a much more realistic approach, you could almost make it a national geographic type moment of the lion taking out a gazzelle from the rear, its a great action pose, the gazzelle could have mechanical implants of its own.

The other thing i thought of was perhaps an image with a lion tamer trying to put his head in the lions mouth.

Or perhaps the Lion is getting the paw implanted and is on an operating table.

I will point out though that atm the Paw off to the side of the Lions head looks good but it looks a little weird as its just coming out of the side of his face. At this point you cant see it attached to any of the other limbs and its a little strange looking in the position that it is in. perhaps if it was further away and slightly lower you could show a hint of the front shoulder raising up and show a piece of the arm extending out to the claw. I hope you know what i mean.:surprised ;)

But in any case keep it up, cant wait to see what you do with it.:thumbsup:

:) :wavey: I still can't believe that I keep missing all these great entries.....

You've done a good job on the lion, which is a hard animal to draw. I think that you could have darkened the background on the righthand side a bit to match the light on the lion (and this might have added a bit more depth), but I'm just being picky and your final entry is really looking good...congratulations and good luck:) :beer:

[rattlesnake]

is really nice... the lion looksreally good... superb quality... congratulations for your results! the lions face is really expressive... wish u the best for the voting!
