I was freelanced to design some units for a small game being made, they gave me a shocking amount of freedom with the design so here they are.

It took me sec to realize that this little slice of a picture on the screen here is a link.

Some of the designs I really like a lot. Particularly Boulder, Vulcanite and Imbuer. The thinker narrowly misses that list simply because it floats, and it seems wierd for rocks to float. Style-wise though, he's really cool.

The one that stands out and really doesn't fit the theme is the Manipulator. He's a pretty cool elf, but I don't buy that he is made of stone. Personally I'd look to something more distorted like the Vulcanite, or enigmatic like the thinker.

Really cool designs, and very well rendered overall.

I think it is awesome that you are creating themed concepts, good in business for sure. Some creatures fit the motif better than others. As stated before the elflike creature and the lion doesnt quite seem to fit with the rest. I really like the thinker's design and maybe if didnt float and maybe was attacted to something it would make it more believable. Nice work overall.

Thank you so much for the great feedback. the elf, hrmm, i meant for him to be a statue that was animated, but it isn't easy. Thanks again for your time, it helps me a lot.

Awesome designs hyptosis. I loooove the charater ideas. My friend and myself are currently trying to construct some ideas for a simular style concept for a book he is writing or planning on writing. Not to sound like a broken record but the elf, lion and floater don't seem to fit as much as the others. The floater fits a bit more so... I was thinking maybe something along the lines of a gargoyle maybe since they are stone during the day? Just an idea tossed out, may or may not fir the idea but just trying to help. I love the colors and variations. Great detail. Are you creating something for Warcraft 4???? LOL :) Good work my friend, keep up updated with your progress please.

Ahhh, thanks guys. Th elion and elf are explained, why they are 'carved' bny the hands of races rathe rthan the imbuers, but thats part of the game's story. As for the floater, i jsut wanted him to seem very 'magical' and giant floating rocks scream magic to me =D The game is RTS too, but not warcraft saddly.. that'd be a dream come true. Thanks a ton guys, nad have fun out there.
