Hey guys Roberto here:
As part of the HCRmodeling challenge I got a request for a modeler for some custom concept art.
The idea is that the concept art might end up as a basis for a 3D sculpture.
For those who wish to skip this and draw something else, I have posted also the Monday topic:
CgTalk Daily Sketch 1224 NTL "Young Love" (http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=130&t=550191)
Anyway, here is the SHOT commissioned by the sculptor:
"Encounter With A Shadow Demon"
By
Felix Lahme
as inspired by a painting by Jakup Kasper
It’s magic hour, the exact time of transition between day and night, a time of perfect twilight.
Everything and every detail around you is clearly discernable, yet paints its shape into your vision without any colors, merely in shades of gray. As your eyes adjust to the conditions even more, you make out an unidentifiable manifestation somewhere a short distance ahead. It’s there and yet it is not, a formless, transparent, intangible vortex of shadows, growing in size and diameter. You stand there paralyzed.
Slowly, the apparition takes on a more humanoid outline, yet still retaining a characterless, smoky appearance. As it solidifies further, it suddenly moves towards you with lightning speeds, and as it reaches you, touches you with one of its shadowy fingers.
At the creature's matter-less touch, images of your own life and ideas, as well as things, concepts and places unknown race through your head. The creature is communicating with you on a telepathic level, extracting your most guarded thoughts, wishes, fantasies and darkest fears.
Slowly it takes on a more discernable shape, transforms from a black form without identity into a transparent shadow-creature of inhuman female beauty, surrounded by wavering masses of shadows of varying density. Like a siren, she beckons you to follow her with a painful yearning, tempting you with unspoken promises und irresistible allure.
Beckons you to follow her to a gateway to another world between the worlds, existing in eternal, timeless twilight. Her pull is strong and the more you resist the more powerful her beckoning, the more alluring her beauty and promises become.
The initial communication with her went both ways and somewhere deep inside you know that she is drawing you closer to your doom, pulling you into a world where the resident creatures will consume your substance, essence, entire being and soul, like an aged wine of indescribable quality and despite this foreboding of your horrible fate you cannot resist her pull….
Directorial Instructions:
The final concept design should depict the female demon in her most alluring, yet terrifying appearance in a very detailed fashion. While the overall look should be that of an extremely attractive and sexually alluring human female, she should retain a number of very subtle, yet prominent features revealing her demonic nature, hinting at the horrible fate that awaits her victim.
You have no time limit for your sketch. IF you go beyond the assigned time limit , you have to post WHATEVER you have done after the time has expired, along with the FINAL drawing.
NOTE: I am planning to use this art as part of the next Modeling challenge. You may see your concept art as 3d models!
Post only your FINAL piece on this thread, based on the topic on the thread.
Only final pieces can be posted on the thread. They must have been done AFTER the topic has been announced.
RESOLUTION : The image can have any aspect ratio up to 800 x 600
