Original 2D part for the Cyborg Concept minichallenge

[Sleepless]

Ok sounds good to me, I'll try and think of something.

[VShane]

Hey cool, I'm in........Sleepless I look forward to your stuff m'man!

WK:beer:

[Sleepless]

uh oh...now I've painted myself into a corner. LOL:)

[art7sayan]

here is my concept Jeroentje (I've finally found some free time to do it!!) ;) !

Hope you will like this Cyborg guys.

:wavey:

[jeroentje]

Art7Sayan this looks awsome :thumbsup:

BTW, the posts that were here allready are NOT deleted, they got lost in a servercrash.

[LucentDreams]

wow couldn't have gotten a better second moderator, taken action already i like that, my one question is regarding something you mentioened briefly about overtaking the other threads, is it possibel to have a small subthread then like the 2d one in the challenges??? this is a great idea overal, just thinking aobut 20 threadsfor this and peoples own artwork could make this lace a little crowded. But I like the idea as I often feel people con't notice us since we only suggest the third dimension but in two dimensions, makes us sorta like outcasts. [hate it when someone asks what type of cel shader I used on my classically animated film ;) ]

Of course considering my schedule I most likely won't join this first one, especially since I really like Art7's one a lot.. Hey whatcha think of the new avatar? hard to see the expression that small but basically its that "what did I step in" kinda feelin.

[jeroentje]

Hi Kaiskai.
Nice new avatar, you could make him dance in an animated gif. What is it with you and mooses btw?
Thanks for the compliment.

To answer your question: there will be no 20 threads on this. All concepts will be posted in this exact thread. Just like there are about 30 pieces in the thread called "Speed painting?"

3D models will be posted in this thread aswell as soon as it gets moved to the WIP forum (have to make up a deadline yet, I will keep you informed). All 3D models will be posted in this exact (moved) thread.

Maybe (hopefully) the 1 thread itself will become a little crowdy. But that is what is agreed and that is how it will be.
Just 1 thread is to prevent a Frankenstein monster getting on the loose in the scenario you just described.
Keep in mind that this is just an experiment and I have no idea what will happen (maybe nothing, and we'll go and do something else :shrug: ).

Now enough of my blahdieblah; let's draw!
jeroentje :beer:

[LucentDreams]

well I have a clip of him dancing for a test animation of the rig. The moose was originally for my Classical film but the idea changed, i liked the design so I modeled him in 3D. I have no time to model anything else right now so I am using him for testing and another tester is rigging him for vrious tester to play with.

Honestly I'll work on anything thats not a gorillaright about now.

I like the posting in this thread idea, will make one large thread but keep it from gettng in the way of other threeads good thinikn. Well can't wait to see what others do, I'll see what I can try to WIP up if I find a minute here or there.

[jeroentje]

Yeah, please do.

There were two very cool looking cyborgs that got killed in the servercrash. Would be nice if the got reposted ;)
Cheers, jeroentje :beer:
(I am working on a pretty sexy one myself btw)

[Cockofthewok]

I'll post mine as soon as I finish the "inking"

[dmonk]

Is everyone gonna get a crack at modeling the concept they want or is it gonna be first come first serve?:shrug:

Because Until I get a real job I have nothing but time on my hands and I love stuff like this.

Good Idea jeroentje

:wavey:

[VShane]

Soooo, I did it as far as the conceptual stage, ala Craig Mullins (I thank him 1000 times a day!), rather rough, but about as finished as you'll get from me on Laborday Weekend :beer:

Thanks that was a great break from the many projects that are due this week, thanks again and I look forward to the next one.

[jeroentje]

@ Dmonk
I am not here to tell people what to model and what not to. But I for myself would not want to model something that someone else is allready doing. Seems pointless to me. Or you must feel like you can do it 10 times better :shrug:
So try and use a bit of common sense on that.

This Across-the-Board Mini Challenge was started to encourage people to work together and to see what would happen when 2 people with different talents work on 1 project. So it makes sense to discuss what you will be modelling with the concept artist.

@ Wacom_Knight
Cool grasshopperdude Wacom_Knight :buttrock:

[Sleepless]

At the prodding of Wacom_Knight.....My early rough idea. This is the 1st sketch so it will change a bunch. Would like to come up with something more original than the wheel. Basically he is able to work while on his commute. Back to "not" laboring on Labor day weekend.
http://www.leeillo.com/cgart/Cyborg1web.jpg

[LucentDreams]

W_K - very ince Technique, looks ice and simple, good concept so far, thugh I find with his current anatomy the orange light/laser/scanner (whatever it is) to be in a rather uhhhm suggestive place, maybe this is where he plugs in to another cyborg???

Sleepless - LOL this is a good one, and definitely gets me thinking about trying to get at least something in, I tend to prefer funny over knights and cool swords and guns myself, so this one gets a thumbs up:thumbsup:


Hmmm no what can I do???

@jeroentje - I can see a reason to moel something someone else is, everyone does things differently and takes things different ways, of course I totally agree on getting beck to the designer and actually collaorating rather than just taking the pic and modeling, but I know my out come would still be totally different from mosteveryone else.

[jeroentje]

@ Kaiskai
Than go ahead and do so. Like I said; I am not here to tell people what they should model or not. I am only asking them to keep their common sense and not show us 20 models of the same concept. And besides, I think it's a bit early for this discussion. We are just waiting for the concepts to roll in now.
Cheers :beer:

@ Sleepless
Nice one Sleepless, thanks for joining. Looking forward to the update :bounce:
(What the hell is Labourday? And is that something to celebrate?)
Cheers again :beer:

Well outside of a day off work, nothing much more to celebrate IMO, simply another day off where those who do work get stat pay and everyone is happy :)

[Cockofthewok]

Here's my cyborg. The old ver. got lost in the server crash. (I hope I still get one update:D) It's still pretty messy, but I think it's coming along. I hope it meets everyone's standards.btw tell me if it's too big.

http://sv1.3dbuzz.com/Upload/i10447cyhugecolsm.jpg

[earl]

Good start Cockofthewok, but it might be hard for a modeler to understand all the shapes of him in that stance.

Here's my entry. I was trying to think of an interesting way to combine man and machine, and I remembered a very old sketch I drew... could be 6-8 years old. It's always been one of my favourites, and the characters are perfect for a cyborg idea.

Here's a link to the old original scene called "PLiGhT of The SPiDER PEoPLE":

http://www.baconbomb.com/bluefunk/art/fant/fant31.jpg

It's a poor scan, and I'm not sure where the original is now, but you get the idea.

Here's the current concept:

[DXtreme]

hi guys....
i've made this a long time ago....this is a main character of a short story i wrote (it's about a.i. and so....and the bad bad mankind that robbed the planet and such stuff!)
it's not the best drawing....but i hope you like it

[Gamoron]

Good idea jereontje! I'll see what I come up with and then show you guys!

[Kirt]

I'm making a few doodles, but so far nothing that I like well enough to post. :thumbsdow
I like your ideas jeroentje ... I just hope I have enough free time to get involved in some of them. :scream:

[jeroentje]

:eek:
Dextreme, that one could have been the brother of the one that I am doing myself...

[DXtreme]

hmmm...but i guess his brother would look better,cause my drawing skills are bad!
and i've not made any 2d stuff for a long time!
when i made this one i made some other but i thought that one concept is enough...or what do ya mean (i don't want to spam with pics!...as the rules said!)

c ya

[jeroentje]

Feel free to post more than one. Just use you common sense and don't post 20...

Who is talking about his brother? I did his sister... I'll post her tonight.

[DXtreme]

ups...i guess i didn't read your posts much carefully! sorry!
so i think i'll post some pics later!

waiting for your work jeroentje!

and for now this one....

[LucentDreams]

much nicer, this one lI can get into, though the forshortening on the arm is akward,and the hand is lookin a little gimped, the design itself is kinda cool, I think it would be nice if something on it was more organic though.

Pleased to say I will be partaking in thi one, should have something in the week.

[jeroentje]

Oh what the hell... here she is, it's been finished for days.

I tried to keep a bit of 1930/40's feeling in it and used oldfashioned switches and buttons. Texture should be brown leather like them old double winged flying machine pilots.
I overdid it a bit in the rendering maybe, but I loved the piece and lost myself in detailing. Not really necessairy for the challenge, but I thought maybe some nice info for a modeller.

[mv]

looks nice jeroentje! you didn't overdo anything, it catches better the style.

[DXtreme]

wow thats f***** nice such great stuff is inspirating me to draw something new (cause my concepts are some years old)
!!!!!!but i've no time!!!!!!

keep going.....
(i think one of these 3d character modelling gods would model it...great concept for such things!)

[art7sayan]

Yeah great one Jeroentje!!
Yes it will be cool to see it in 3D too!

A cyborg of the past!! lol What a cool idea!:thumbsup:


:wavey:

[Norante]

Jeroentje.. your drawing is nice.. but I think she looks more using a suit than being a cyborg.

[mv]

Here's my first concept. (surely we can post 2-3?)
I'll use my "2nd allowed post" for a cleaner and colored version if I have time.
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/v-h/mathias/cyborg2.jpg

[Cockofthewok]

niiice. Kinda reminds me of the T-series bots from the terminator movies. not that that's a bad thing, though.

[Najd]

wow :surprised good concept you all

m@. : A cleaned version would be nice, it'l looks cool
jeroentje : Fantastic picture, but as Norante said, it looks more like a suit than a cyborg
art7sayan : I like it
And the others, good work :buttrock:

[jeroentje]

LOL I guess you two might be right ;)

But that's the interesting thing with this challenge; the ones that are most interesting to model will get modelled.
I had fun doing it and that's most important to me :)

[Norante]

Hehe, keep that humble atitude, and one day you might be canonized a saint, Jeroenje;)

[derelict]

Can a non 2D guy join too?

I don't really know if i could take part in this contest though... i don't have to join a club or anything like that right?

EDIT: BTW jeroentje, i can't seem to see your master piece.:) It could be the system is down or something.:(

[jeroentje]

@ Nortante
Is that sarcasm my bagheaded friend? :D

@ derelict
You're registered at cgtalk.com That automatically makes you a member of the club since your last 121 post. Welcome to the club.
It's hosted on Lycos. Dunno.. I can see it... even with an empty cache and a ctrl-refresh

[Norante]

Not sarcasm, rest easy, my friend. I'm your fan:beer:

By the way, congratulations on becoming the moderator. The forum is getting better :bounce:

[GUYJIN]

Here is one from me!

http://www.novamesh.com/TheGOODSTUFF/2D/OTHER/ReadyJPG/Mechana-2.JPG

[jeroentje]

In that case; thank you Norante ;)

This thread is filling quite nicely this way, thanks to everyone who entered.

Welcome to the board GUYJIN

[Sleepless]

I want to get back on this drawing and will try to finish the concept in time. Gotta clear off my easel fist though.

[Rk¤]

:bowdown: all drawing are very good, congratulation all

[DXtreme]

congratz guyjin.....really cool concept,love it!
how did ya do it (if ya want to tell) and should it be a female concept?!

anyway really cool stuff...i think jeroentje could be proud of his mini challenge!
very interesting concepts all around!!!!

[GUYJIN]

Mucho thank you DXtreme! Its pensil, ballpen and markers. Simple stuff really. I guess it is a female, althogh I did not want her to look like one of those 7 of 9 type cyborgs...(there is just too many of those running around :p )

[DXtreme]

yepp yepp...creating something own is really a great thing....
if i would have the time to draw i would make a other concept
(think this would be the last on for her...don't want to spam this thread with my stupid work!)

cause the things i posted are really old!!!!
and i haven't used a pencil for a long time ;-)
don't know whether i'm able to use it the way u do :::::

c ya

[BigNasty]

ok, well... I suppose I'll give it a go......

I did this drawing a while ago... it's a finished peice.... I really like drawing but I'm learning 3d now so I haven't really had time to make any "pictures"... mostly sketches.... I blurred the BG so that the character is easier to see....... I'm actually curious to hear what people think of this peice actually.....

[BigNasty]

oops... I'm sorry, I didn't realize how big it was gonna be :shrug:

[DXtreme]

yeah ... i think it's a fantastic concept for a cyborg
i like the design and the style of drawing.....

good piece of work

[Carlocki]

http://digilander.libero.it/carlocki/Archivio%20Carlo/droidsectorcopy2.jpg

[Ivars]

My concept:D

Thanks... at least, I think you were referring to mine.... :hmm:

[DXtreme]

oh sorry didn't add the name...yes ment the one made by big nasty!!!!

[Slacker]

Lot's of cool entrees. Here be mine...

http://www.slackergraphics.com/images/personal/misc/slkr_cyborg.jpg

female cyborg - back view - and some smoke :)

[Sleepless]

Slacker- you are always totally unique, you see things differently and you're pushing pixels like nobody else.

Liked your Highlander pic too.:)

[Pancreas]

This is my cyborg, a sort of cyborgcop of the future, he can´t kiss, but can caress.

http://www.soportalia.com/pancreas/cyborgcop.jpg

I went for a comic style, but i can´t get the happy result, so i just applied a bunch of filters. If anyone wants to color it i´ve got the bigger size sketch and the inked linedraw in ps6.

[jeroentje]

Great stuff everyone :buttrock:

Part one of "Operation Cross the Board" turned out succesfully allready and we still have 5 days to go. I can hardly wait to kick this thread out and into the WIP forum to see what the poly-people will do with it.
jeroentje :beer: :beer: beers for everyone!

[Cockofthewok]

it might be a little more work, but the poly people will be more likely to model our concepts if they only see our pics and not our chatter. Just an idea if you haven't thought of it.

[jeroentje]

Cockofthewockyourock :)

Very good thinking. I will copy this one, get all the bladieblah out and move that one, with the 3D rules in it. And I'll keep this one here.
Thanks, jeroentje :beer: (and have a beer on me).

[xmess]

hi everyone,

i have heard a lot talk about cgtalk. it's said to be the best online community, dunno wether you know that ;)
anyways, this is a very cool thread and a nice place for a debut, i thought. allthough i have to admit that i'm not a great drawer. but hey, who cares.

here's mine:

http://misc.dd3d.de/cyborg.jpg
pretty unfinished as you can see. but it's a concept.
hope you like, comments welcome



Stauder for everyone! :beer:
edit: Grolsch for jeroentje ;)

[Kirt]

OK ... I decided to throw my concept up here even though it's not finished. If I do this link thing correct I will hopefully be able to update the image on my webspace and it'll show the most recent image below.

http://www.cell2000.net/~users/kirtstanke/images/sony-watchdog.jpg

I think there's enough info on the image that I don't have to explain the concept any further. :)

[DXtreme]

yeah crazy concept....maybe greenpeace could have some problems with this!
but hey cool concept...will he be able to dance after music ? ;-)
like it!

[jeroentje]

LOL great concept Kirt :bounce:

[LucentDreams]

great stuff kirt, ggood to see I am not the only one not doing a humanlike cyborg either.

[Kirt]

*laughing to himself*

I just thought of something ... the SONY Watchdog will probably be a big seller for the internet porn business. Isn't it true that a dog will always watch you when you're getting some luvin' from your significant other?

heheheh ... just thinking out loud. Pardon me. :D

[jeroentje]

So wouldn't that make it a NOSY watchdog?

[Fiber]

Here's my entrie!
Didn't really get those copper parts right,i find metal difficult to draw.But if anyone should chose to model this,metal shouldn't be a problem :)

Kirt: i love your concept,it's kind of a parodie on those aibo dogs.
Jeroentje: good idea for a thread ,keep those coming ,i'll try to keep on joining them. "gefeliciteerd "on the mod-job by the way.
sleepless:looking forward to your colored version.i'm a fan of your work!

[roel]

And here's my entry, based on one of my younger brother's... er... visions.

http://senile.et.tudelft.nl/roel/external/cybryo.jpg

If anyone should want to model this... I'm sorry, but I don't think I'll have any time to refine and/or discuss the design. :(

[facial]

Come on,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,:D MORE.
:wip: :wip:

[Kirt]

Fiber Thanks. I'm not sure where the concept came from ... I just remember thinking "Walkman - Watchman - Watchdog!" :shrug: I take 'em any way I can. hehehe. Love your entry as well ... it's got a discomforting curiousity to it. Makes you want to say "ew" and "oh" at the same time.

Roel Awesome work there. Love the fire stacks! The legs look a little under developed ... but I'm sure one of the 3D guys will have a blast with this one.

Give me fuel, give me fire, give me that which I desire - Metallica

[EvilDan]

a super quicky.

http://members.fcc.net/duckman/yellow.jpg

[Carlocki]

EvilDan i like this image
eyh now they are 19. maybe just another and the modellers can star
roel another great idea
Kirt Great metallica songs (Fuel)!

[dmonk]

@evildan: I'd love to have a go at that design. Reminds me of colossus in the arms.

[EvilDan]

Carlocki: Thanks
Dmonk: thanks and no problem. Go for it :)

[Pinky_Powers]

ok, here is my late entry

ftp://FS:host@65.28.105.122/CyborgConcept.jpg

[Dichotomy]

This Mini-challenge was an excellent Idea :buttrock:

I'm just sorry I was too busy with finals and didn't even see it until today. I hope there is another one, I would definitely want to do some art for it.

Great work everybody:beer:

[Sleepless]

EvilDan- beautiful in it's simplicity.
Kirt- Another great idea, and different approach.
Way to go everyone!

Tightened up my sketch some, pity the fool who tries to model this "inexact" drawing. I suck at mecha stuff, better go study up for the next few years. LOL. For what it's worth....

http://www.leeillo.com/cgart/Cyborg1.1web.jpg

[ExanJU]

Hi everybody...
I saw all these great concepts of your cybeorgs and was astonished to see all those different forms.. That gave me quite a boost so I've desided to make some of form research for my self..

Well My cyborg is not humanoid.. But, it is a combination of organics and "hardware" :rolleyes: ... In other words it's an enchanced Jellyfish...

http://3d.impro.lt/exanju/Meduza.jpg

Hope you like it :wavey:

[jeroentje]

So this is it. Thanks to all who entered their concept in this great experiment and let the modelling (http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=19292) begin :beer:
