Spectacular 3D Entry: Leon Bartsch

[Texlon]

Hi,
I know I am a bit late, but nevertheless I am trying to work as fast as I can to catch up with the others. Better late than never.
And good luck to everybody, my comrade-in-arms :)

Concept will follow in a few minutes, gotta scan in first, cause it's handdrawn.

Alright that's my concept for the 3D Challange. I made several
concepts for this challenge but because of my late join I am just showing you my best concept so far. I think I'll stick to it.

Story:
It's a small, run-down appartment of the late 90's. It's owner is an freaked out, pretending scientist who has sealed himself off the outside world in his appartment and works on some questionable projects. In fact it's the year 2043 but he still relys on the obsolete books, instruments and devices in his appartment. Everything outside of his appartment underwent serious changes by the evolution but he and his possessions stayed in the 90's. So due to the fact that he's alone he has to test his experiments by himself. His current project is a cloning machine which he build entirely out of stuff he could find in or around his appartment.
He made everything fit together and in his eyes created a unique piece of art. Even though he has used the impracticablest methods and many different materials he has created the perfect clone machine. There is A very destinctive and hard contrast between his appartment and the clone machine. The machine is very clean, without a single flaw, simply perfect. However the appartment is totally worn out, sloppy, very dusty and dirty. The owner Has a lot of blueprints, sketches, calculation and tools lying around. All he cares about is science and everything else is neglected e.g. the flower on his fridge.
You can't see it in this image but he's currently lying in the machine, testing it. While he tests the machine He's unable to hear or see what's going on outside of this machine. Because neighbours haven't heared a peep from him for years they've called the police to check if everything is alright. The ordered policemen, living in "realworld", need to break the door to getin and are overwhelmed by the scene they find in this appartment.

That's it. Please let me know what you think about it.
I am currently working on a more suited version of the concept by editing it in photoshop.

This what I came up with when I played around in photoshop. I tried to emphasize the mood and the feeling of the pic with some tones. and added the policemen (black silhouettes). I hope you'll vaguely see know what I have in mind.

Although I quite like the concept for the image I can't see what's spectacular about it, really :shrug: perhaps you could add more?

good to see you up Texlon- there's still heaps of time!
nice sketch and concept- maybe to make it more 'spectacular' you could frankenstein it up more-have a few scary clones watching the guys with torches maybe? will keep an eye on this one!

Alright I thought about what would be spectcular the last night and that's what I came up with. I think it's not very hard to understand. I little boy/man (not sure yet) finds an alien/creature and builds a habitat for it to survive. As always the government discovers the boys/mans secret and wants to get the alien with all means necessary, so the send it's best man to negotiate with the boy/man plus a few law enforcement units. The boy who has formed a close friendship with the creature over the years, want's to protect his friend and thinks that humanity is not ready yet for a high developed species like his friend, they would misunderstand almost everything and use it the wrong way.

please tell me what you think.

cheers,
Leon

Hey folks, I could do with some critique. I'd like to start working but if you don't think my concept is good then it's not worth it. So just let me know what you think. If you don't say nothing I am not sure if it's good and this might force me to think about different ideas and hinder me from starting.
Is my concept soo bad that you even don't wanna pop in and critique?
Come on!

cheers,
Leon

howsit... great concept.. I think the setting itself needs to more grander and epic. I thinking of maybe a huge warehouse with lots of capsules and disecting tables.

[daWinky]

Your concept is not bad at all. It's all up to you, if you manage to make some believable characters, this could be spectacular for sure. Perhaps think over your environment concept, that Martin already mentioned. GOOD LUCK:) !

i think this looks great and really promising. I like the idea of the child and the mutant- could be very spectacular and dynamic. go for it!

[Texlon]

Thank you for your kind words, makes me going on and fortifies my idea. I am thinking about different settings and changes in the concept right now. I also made a few models of devices I am definatly going to use in that scene, but I'll show them to you later when I am ready with my new concept.
And thank you guys for your ideas so far, it made me think in many different ways :lightbulb

I'll keep you posted, soon...

Cheers,
Leon

Your idea is not bad at all. A kind of E.T. come Dexter's Laboratory:thumbsup:

What I think would pay off a lot now would be to do some very simple thumbnails where you try to come up with a composition that presents the idea more spectacularly. (Now your composition is a bit flat and un-dramatic)
