I plan on building a factory or city in the final image, to go along side the queen, just an idea.

[flyingP]

Pity I was looking forward to seeing this 3D, still nice to see that it lives on.

Ok, this is just a thumb nail. It’s to help out on the scale of this creature,

[Kilduff]

pig water, don’t worry if this dose turn out ok I will for sure make it 3d, just when I get my new computer, which I hope is soon, but it wont be in time for the contest, so its just going to stay 2d for now, but thanks for the interest,

[Squibbit]

wwwwwwwwwwwwwwow

neat stuff

it's so wrong you can't do this in 3d

[sleiron]

holy moly!

This concept sketches rock!

I also would like to see them in 3d, but continue your superb job in 2d....

Can't wait to see the insects go color.

cheers
sleiron

[rattlesnake]

Well I’m happy with this layout of the city, now I think it’s time to work on the final.

[Kilduff]

seems like 2d dose not get much feed back, :(

[rattlesnake]

i dont know why, your skillz are great!, i really like your last sketch, dont worry every one is going to see the great artist you are and theyll come...:thumbsup: :bounce: and wich is the purpose for that creature?

For the final image I want a few cargo ships flying past the camera. So here’re a few ideas that I have. Only one will make it to the final image.

Quick color layout

[neble]

I'm really glad to see that your trying something original. I have a fealing that there will be a boat load of human busts or full bodies with metal straping and tubes stuck in. :p

[CoolBird]

omg:eek:

[MITRICH]

The good sketch

[Falcorr]

Great atmosphere.

This was actually my first time i noticed your thread. Colors are great. Good use of "big & small" technique. Reveals the size for common people like me.

It will quite painful to paint the whole city.

[Kilduff]

Newbie- cool thanks, that’s what I was trying to go for.

Mitrich and coolbird, - thanks, I appreciate your comments. Falcor_, yes the city will be a pain to color

just another update

[rattlesnake]

wow is looking great , are u going to keep the strokes for the final piece?

[Kilduff]

Um, not sure yet. I will be playing around with different idea’s

[bonestudio]

Yous have so much great designs you could make the contest alone !!!

Good luck for the city though !

[Kilduff]

Well, just to let every one know that I'm changing a few things around, this image is too plan, I need more action, maybe even some blood, so for the next few days I will be going back to some drawings. Thanks for all the nice words.

Here is a small image of an attack from one of the mosquitos; I might have to add them in the final piece

[Squibbit]

wha ? huh ? k I mean I think I would've liked to see that city
finished instead of a mosquito attack , even though the attack
would just have been a part of the final image .

Then again I think you got so much skills and ideas that I
might regret seeing you finish the cityscape instead what
you would come up with otherwise ...

maybe you add the action to the city pic ? Or was that what
you were talking about ?


:wip:
:surprised ?¿!!?

[Kilduff]

Well the only reason why I think I should try something ells (not to say I wont finish this) I think this is too much of a environment and not a “creature design” so I’m thinking of working more on just developing a creature rather then spending large amounts of time coloring a city. What do you guys think, I have a few other ideas to work with, and should I just give it a shot??

[Squibbit]

you could have the big creature have fleets of smaller
creatures serving it , being part of it , unable to survive
without it . These little creatures , maybe 3-5 different
kinds , would not be able to help the mother cretaure ,
but could take simle instructions from the humans , helping
them carry stuff , etc.
You could have them flying through the air , climbing the buildings,
building stuff , etc.

hey maybe when the big creature was healthy it could help
the humans in some struggle and signs of that struggle
could be seen in the picture .

Now with all this you could have maybe 3-7 creature designs
in the pic (+equipment designs , maybe a few plants here and
there ).

?

Work with this pic and sketch out and give more thought
to the other ideas , too, on coffee breaks or something :) .
One of them just might be yet even better than this ?

[Kilduff]

Thanks buddy, that’s a very good idea.
I appreciate you help a lot.

I’m not going to say that I stopped work on the creature/city but for the past few days on my lunch break I have been thinking about something that’s more interesting. The two images below are of a power plant, main source of power will be a large heart, which helps run the turbines and what ever else. Just an idea that I was thinking about not sure if I will continue it. But I will do a few more drawings of this idea before I make my final decision.

[XIA]

Great work....really solid!!! :bounce:

[Squibbit]

ouch ... your lunch break scribblings are better than my
ready pics...


Anyways .. hey , that's pretty new stuff you got there :thumbsup:
...

given any thought to why they got a heart and not a machine pump?

[harnelbe]

:buttrock:
Great concept sketches stuff you are doing isubscribe to your topic, i like a lot your style.:wavey:

[Kilduff]

just adding some color, i think this is where i will lose it, I still have lots to learn when it comes to colors. but will see what happens.

Well. Im kind of lost. Not to sure what I like more between the 2. In fact I like the gray sketches more, but it’s too late to start another one. I just don’t know what I could do to bring the 2 images to life. Hmmm well back to try other things.
