Wonderful concept work, man. Aside from your great line work, I enjoy his helm and the organic-looking gauntlet design. Have you given thought to what sort of material the gauntlet will be? In your sketches, it seems to blend into his actual arm. Is that part of the power? Either way, the character's looking great, and I look forward to seeing his progression.

Cheers!

Dude, looking pretty sweet. Looks like you did a lot of work since I last saw it. I am very excited to see what you do with it. Good luck brother.

Hey man this is really impressive, if the concept looks this cool I can't wait to see the model!

[darklion6583]

Hey, thanks guys. I will post more images pretty soon. As for the first post, it's made of a mineral that is mined within his home (he is a mine dweller). I will elaborate on that later. As for the second part, I was thinking about that. When he place the Gauntlet on his hand/arm, his artifact becomes a part of him. It infuses with his arm and turns him into more of a Berserker when activated by aggression from an imposing force. I'll have a back story, I love doing that stuff.

[msingh233]

looks great so far. can't wait to see how it turns out.

[darklion6583]

Hey guys, just did a quick color study of my Dwarf and his gauntlet. It's a first pass, so let me know what you think.

The world needs more dwarfs! Have you plotted out where you will include the insignia? Since he's not in CGS colors, don't forget that. I forgot all about it till today haha.

[darklion6583]

I certainly agree. I took that in mind and since dwarfs are usually dect out in armor, it will probably be on his belt buckle or somewhere chiseled into his armor. It's just a first pass so it might change.

[msingh233]

It would be pretty sweet to have the CG Society logo engraved in the dwarf's left shoulder armor, the bigger side. Also, the arm is looking pretty sweet, but I don't get a sense that it is emmitting electricity yet. Other than that, looks awesome. Keep up the good work.

[darklion6583]

Thanks for the feedback. That is a really good idea to engrave the logo on is left shoulder piece. Also, that's his gauntlet when it's know in use. When he is attacking something it is activated. I will be illustrating that pretty soon.

[darklion6583]

I did a real quick color study. If you have any opinions, let me know what you think. It's about time I started modeling.

Nice color variations, good to see you experimenting with the pallette. I really like the 3rd and 4th ones on the top row, as well as the middle one on the bottom row. Lookin good!

[The Flork]

that fist is super cool! my suggestion would be aside from his shoulder hes a little plain and symetrical. i would add some nick nacks to his bels and maybe so some designs here and there on the armor.
also i like the middle color scheme!

[walrus]

Interesting concepts! Most of your color concepts feature a white arm. I like the darker arm in your earlier image more than the idea of it being white. So aside from that fact, I like the colors on the first two bottom row. Alternately, you could choose team colors (don't forget, it's a requirement!) and go with top row second in, or second row first in. Go team!

(but just as some advice, next time you post lots of pictures all in one file, number them! It makes giving (and decyphering) feedback a lot easier for everyone. :) )

[darklion6583]

Hey guys, Thanks for the suggestions. DavidArt20: I also like the middle one on the bottom, I might consider using some aspects from that color study. The Flock: Thanks for the advice about the nick knacks. I will be adding all the goodies and design when I take it into Zbrush. Walrus: The right arm will be the same color as the first initial concept design. Also, thank you for the numbering idea.

[sagishow]

nice concepts ot there ....waiying for 3d

[madshooter]

Beautifull. This Dwarf is gonna rule:). I like 11 and 13.
All the best:thumbsup:

[darklion6583]

Thanks madshooter. More work will be up soon.

[VitruvianMango]

Hi there, darklion. Nice work and designs over all! I really like your concept work so far, and these are nice color concepts. I have to second walrus' comment about the white arm. Even if you've decided on the color, I think we need to see it in there for context. Keeping the team colors in mind is also pretty important. That being said, I actually like the one right in the middle (#8). I like that it gives his armor a lacquered look...though I'd like to see a red-orangey, white, or gray beard with it for contrast. I also like the 2nd one on the top row; again I might try a different hair color with it. Best of luck!

[eMysfit]

8 is my favorite. I just like dark armor. I think if you go with the white arm too it would look great with the dark armor, though if you go with lighter armor or the red armor I think going with the dark arm would be pretty cool. My second favorite would probably be 2, but I'd go with maybe a dark brown/black beard and the dark arm. Basically I think it'd be cool for the beard/arm colors to be similiar and contrasting with the main armor colors.

Dwarf Powah!

[darklion6583]

Thank you for all the feedback, I will defiantly take those into consideration. This is so hard. I have so many opinions, I'm going to have to think about this color scheme in greater detail.

[darklion6583]

Hey people, I've started the first low poly model of my dwarf. It's pretty awkward modeling a stout person. Anyway, I'll be modeling his armor pieces tonight.

[darklion6583]

Hears my guy in his low poly armor. I still have to model a little more of his beard, his helm and his gauntlet. Then it's time to take him into Zbrush.

http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd282/cms6583/lowpolyDwarf07.jpg

[darklion6583]

Every part of him is just about bult. It's time to take my guy into Zbrush and see what I can do.

[SunRay]

Awesome.

I like numbers 4, 5 and 8. Can't wait to see the finished article.

[DavidArt20]

Lookin good man, keep up the momentum

[darklion6583]

Thanks for the feedback guys. Hopefully my Zbrush stuff will look okay.

[darklion6583]

This is a little glimpse of my high-poly mesh. I have a lot more to do. I'll post more soon.

[Brashen]

Usually dwarves are known for their stoutness and rigor maybe adding back luggage would help to emphasize this....

GoodLuck
Zbrush model looking great!!

[darklion6583]

Hey Brashen, Thanks for the tip. I'll throw some cargo and goods on his person to give him some heaviness.

[darklion6583]

This is the latest update on my Dwarf. I connected his head to his body and worked on his clavicle/shoulder area. Sculpted the beard and his nick knacks on his beard. I also started sculpting his shoulder pad a bit. More updates to come.
