HCR MINI-Challenge #17: Star Wars Steampunk CONCEPT ART & REFERENCE

[RobertoOrtiz]

Well here is an update for the future..

[Firerbert]

Just in time for Force Unleashed, no? :drool:

[buryme]

Wow this is awesome. I can't wait to participate in this one!

[AtomAndBrad]

Holy crap :O I am absolutely looking forward to this challenge. I loved the previous Star Wars HCR challenge and I'm a big fan of steam punk art so I think melding these two together is going to produce some incredible results. But as usual I will be a spectator only, as my modeling is very much not up-to-par, and neither is my hand drawing. But someday!

[Hawke]

Some ideas here :)

StarWars (http://www.sillof.com/C-Steampunk-SW.htm)

[StevenEgan]

Oh, cool. can we draw our own concepts?

Looking forward to this one.

[RobertoOrtiz]

Oh, cool. can we draw our own concepts?

Looking forward to this one.

Yes you can...
You can post them right here...

[robo3687]

holy crap.....

i am so in this one......and I WILL finish this one...haven't finished one of these in so long.....didn't get to finish the last one cos i had to go into hospital...but no such worries this time...

this should be totally awesome....

EDIT: argh...damn my brain.....i'm having all these awesome ideas in my head for death stars, AT-AT's, stormtroopers and lightsabers among others but my brain seems incapable of transferring the awesomness to my hand to draw them....

I hear ya. I wish I could get on paper what is in my head. But I've got a great idea for this, a bit unconventional for steampunk but it should do nicely.

[DDS]

mmmh, this topic can be really good or really bad, or both. Design is crucial :deal:

[WyattHarris]

Something to whet your whistle.

[robo3687]

okay...i finally managed to get something out of my head....and it was a head....vaders head.....

http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/5990/vaderie2.jpg

its not that great but hopefully the idea will be better realised when i start the actual modelling.....he won't actually have a helmet...i have something else in mind for getting that "vader shape"

[robo3687]

so how long until this one starts up roberto?

[RobertoOrtiz]

We go live tonight...

-R

[robo3687]

awesome....look forward to it...

[RobertoOrtiz]

Sorry guys,

had a 9-11 project at work that took all my time.

I will post this challenge this week,
I promise.

Until then feel free to sketch concepts.
-R

[DogBreath]

Heres my concept for an idea I have, I hope we can make additions as we go, seeing its a concept.

[SantoAnderson]

Okay, I hope it's okay to do Clone Wars, I figured a lot of people would pick the OT, and I'd like to do something a little different. Here's an idea for a more Steampunk-ish General Kenobi in clone war garb.... obviously it's lacking lots of details, but it's an idea that I would like to model.

[farazmobin]

i was going to really busy this hmc and not going to take part but after seeing this guys concept. http://forums.cgsociety.org/showpost.php?p=5412053&postcount=23

...might start off late if i have time,but these are real good sketches.

[aelex]

This is my idea: a Steampunk Podracer
(Original scene (http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=FUsltuNO6l8) )
http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee268/ad-kw/podracer.jpg

[LCAmaral]

This is a no-sense idea i had when i was reading the summary...
So far a badly done sketch, i want to do a better one during the weekend.

It's a "x-winged fighter"

[chrisbeaver]

Here's my first round of arts.. You can click on each for a high-res copy. Maybe not the best drawings, but I hope they convey the point :arteest: I might be using these myself; I'll have decided by tomorrow probably. I still have a few more ideas waiting to be fleshed out first before I can choose.

The TIE Bomber is basically a flying diving bell. The ordnance capsule has been replaced with an enormous boiler to power the engines and gatling guns, and the bombs are now dropped from openings in the wings.

[Hurri-cane]

hello, here's some concepts i've done for the competition. Someone might enjoy modelling from them

More to come...

[nellement]

Bjorn great concepts there ,I think if I join this competition I will model your Yoda.

[robo3687]

lol...that yoda is awesome.....if i hadn't already started I'd be doing that for sure...

[OwenEgan]

Hi,
Here is an idea I had, that I'm going to be modelling, for a steam powered AT AT.

http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s204/tea_monster/walker_3.jpg

[Nothingness]

Okay,

I'm not a concept artist but i just had to give it a try. I wanna do a walker and so i did my best to get the base idea on canvas. I still dislike many parts but these will be corrected when starting the modeling.

I just hope it's steampunk enough


the idea by the way is that the zeppelin inspired body is the main thing that makes the walker stand up tall. The legs give minimum support and are used to 'walk'

cheers

[WyattHarris]

If your just looking for steampunk references don't forget about Steamboy (http://video.google.com/videosearch?gbv=2&hl=en&resnum=0&q=steamboy&ie=UTF-8&um=1&sa=N&tab=wv#). I think I'll rewatch this tonight.

Bjorn, those concepts are fantastic. I hadn't seen the Chewbacca one till just now. I hope these all get modeled.

[WyattHarris]

I love this website.

http://steampunkworkshop.com/

Workshop of the most noble Hieronymus Isambaid "Jake" Von Slatt. :D

[kernelb0i]

all right, I'm sure this will be just the first of many many designs for our beloved bounty hunter on here, but I couldn't resist.

so here's a quick first concept unedited. I haven't done any of the hcr challenges but I just got a new computer and can actually run zb3 so I will try to learn it with some pressure on (always easier to produce that way)

planning on doing some color work in ps and designing props in more detail. apologize for the image quality, scanner just crapped out on me last week.

boba's ship will also be designed though I doubt I will model it, I may try out a general grievous concept also and will post all.

[jlnsatome]

Bjorn, your concepts look awesome! I think I want to model your Yoda!

[FirstManOnMars]

Wedge Antilles: Ace of the Skies

Been an HCR lurker for awhile, but this one is too good to pass up.

I was able to start this today. Wedge the X-wing pilot. Materials are mostly intended to be leather and brass with some cloth coverings. I think it is lacking a little bit of that Victorian flair (and I still need to design the chest piece) but I'll do an over paint tomorrow before I begin modeling.

If anyone has suggestions or would like to take a crack at modeling this I'd be honored!

[Nothingness]

Hey Bjorn,

those are great additions to the pile you already created.
I love the more detailed storm trooper now.

But i gotta ask: do you first draw them on paper and then scan them in?

I'm just wondering how concept artists start their work.

cheers

[DanBroughton]

I went down to Swansea water front museum today and took some photos that might be a help to some one. Sorry about the quality, taken with my phones camera.

The steam train is a working replica of the first ever steam train. Invented and built in Wales to ship coal down the Valleys.

Hope they are of some use.

If you require more just reply and I'll see what I can do. I took the images and asked permission so there shouldn't be a copyright issue. I do recommend that people go and visit the Swansea waterfront museum as it's full of cool things.

Cheers Dan

[Hurri-cane]

I'll post it in here too.
http://gorillaartfare.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/jabbathehutwip.jpg

[orion99]

Here is a quick sketch of and Idea I had today at work.
It's the idea of turning Jabba into a mafia boss type character.

I would like to think of him as more of a fat slob than the sketch portrays.


Now, after seeing Hurri-cane's Idea, I'm starting to dislike mine. That one is awsome!

[LCAmaral]

Hi guys,

Here are some of the concepts for my image.
I'm going for the scene where Luke arrives at the Yoda home and meet him.

So far I have the Yoda, R2 and the X-wing concepts; I'm still missing the own Luke pilot concept and the full scene one.
I'll post then as soon as i finish drawing then.

Bjorn, your concept stuff is absolutely breathtaking...love it, especially yoda and bobba.

[Hurri-cane]

DaezD : thanks!

Here's a Jawa!!

[ChewyPixels]

Bjorn, you have some absolutely amazing concept work! I will have to definitely model one of those someday (of course, with permission and credit where it's due)!

Really, it would be awesome to see a whole Star Wars animated series based off of your concept work! :cool: Keep it up man!

[schlook]

i also felt like doing a boba fett so here's my concept.

[Psyk0]

Wow schlook that makes me want to join in on the fun, i love the design and colors, i hope you make some more!

Bjorn: Your concepts are just perfect! :D

Heo, got some photos i took about one year ago at the "Wasserwerk" near "Hattersheim am Main"
hope you find some inspiration.

sorry for the bad quality of some of the images. I only had a crappy camera at hand. (or i was too stupid to use it :shrug: )

[FirstManOnMars]

Moonangel - good stuff, I could see using some of that for texture reference in 3d as well.

Definitely inspired by Hurri-Canes hard work. Is it just pencil? then overlaying gray in photo shop? Great stuff! I have been inking mine but it can do funny things with contrast and my scanner. Here's another luke:
http://mattwaggle.com/images/photoalbum/19/LukeSketch2.jpg

[FirstManOnMars]

Here's a Lando Calrissian.. its a little edwardian and a little pirate. Learned a lot watching Hurri-cane. Thanks!
http://mattwaggle.com/images/photoalbum/19/LandoSketch.jpg

well, it was fun to draw for awhile. Going to use the remaining time to try out some 3d.. might do one of Hurri-canes characters.. or maybe a craft.

[Hurri-cane]

FirstManOnMars : cool stuff :)

Here's C-3PO
http://gorillaartfare.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/3cpowip1.jpg

[FirstManOnMars]

whaaa! I almost started modeling the yoda but I think I will make this c3p0 instead. Love the engine in the back, and the tie, haha.

[robo3687]

bjorn, you've got mail.

[RedRepublik]

hurri-cane: damn, do you ever sleep? are you going to work on the leia some more? i love the upper body, but the lower body seems a little unfinished

[lPlHilL]

A trap is afoot!

Hi all! Here is a concept I've been working on over the past week. Everyones favorite snare-deducing Mon Calamari.

Looking forward to fleshing him out more in 3D. I may attach a sword to his belt.

Moonangel: Great bunch of image refs! Gave me some ideas to integrate into his hydro-tank.

[vjaramillo]

Not sure if this challenge is still going on, but I got so excited I had to submit a piece. I'm not a concept artist,(vis guy) so be gentle with me.

Steam powered single pilot fighter. If anyone wants to model this out in 3d got for it. I've never model vehicles before.

Thanks,

Vince

[Hurri-cane]

cool art work guys!

Here's Boba with some more love.

[vitaliysalyuk]

Hello folks,

I've decided to participate in this Star Wars Steampunk challenge. When I first heard of this, the only thing that popped into my head was "General Grievous" I have decided to model him. There is something about him that says "please model me"

Do you guys have any suggestions or ideas for me? Where do you think I can find proper references that will be enough to complete him?

[cgnemo42]

Hey there everyone!
Yeah I know I'm kinda late entering but I saw this HRC and couldn't resist. So here's my concept doodle so that I can start modeling.
It's the Millennium Falcon and doodled with a Wacom and MS Paint :P
Hopefully I'll start modeling in the morning!
Good luck all!

[WyattHarris]

Just got back from vacation so I've just seen these latest entries. Wow Bjorn, those are really looking cool. Putting a tie on 3P0 is perfect. Tony Daniels said he played him as a nervous butler anyway, great touch.

[RageOfAges]

For the galaxy's tiniest steampunk x-wing...


http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll52/hades4president/Iqbal-steam-engine.jpg

Apparently it is a working steam engine.

[Gyorkland]

it's kind of late but I was posting it on the wrong thread it's a concept I made a few weeks ago but I made a few changes before posting it here but it's still xtremly rough feel free to do with it whatever you want.

So here he is!

[WyattHarris]

This page seems to be garnering a lot of attention today for some reason. Cool steam props.

http://brassgoggles.co.uk/brassgoggles/

[vjaramillo]

I've decided to model my sketch. I made some minor changes since my sketch didn't resemble any ship in Star Wars. I've decided to change the wings to the X-wing type. I never modeled vehicles before, but I couldn't resist trying.


Not sure if I should post these images here or in another forum, but comments are definitely welcolmed on these wips.
