[DefiledVisions]

Hey there! that looks really cool!
I like the invoker kid alot, so innocent and yet deadly ;) can be a nice trumph card. And the ?? thing looks really cool too, gonna be checking here for more!

[PondaNagura]

awesome warm up sketches. i'm liking the creepy kid invokers

[walrus]

Hey Vincius, good seeing you in another, different challenge! :) Great concepts so far. With the boy, you'll definitely have to show some example of his power, what he can do that makes him a threat. But cool art so far, looking forward to more!

[OKMER]

Hi Vincius!Indeed nice warm up man!
Nice to see you in!
Love that kid idea!Seems a bit more original as the griffon lady, which is a great sketch also though!
How about some evil invoking pair of siamese twins?Could be cool...
Cheers buddy:thumbsup:

[jramauri]

Hey Vinicius!

Nice concepts. I'm doing a little invoker girl for this challenge, and I never thought that I would find another child here. It seems DW is made for big armored guys and monsters, or hot chicks only, and is good to see different things arounds.

I'll be following your thread, maybe we can exchange some information.

Good luck, man.

[[YOYO]]

Very cool start :) Can't wait to see more.

[cyberarts]

I really like your sketch. I'll keep an eye on the evolutions of your work...It is looking good so far.

Good luck! :)

[marsyas]

Great sketches!

I respond most to the griffon woman (for obvious reasons) but it's nice to see you're pursuing less typical stuff also.

[Art2]

Yeah, Bloodtaster!

Love the concepts, especially the kid. :thumbsup:

[oliveira]

really great concepts! i love all!

Alex Oliver

[Buckminster076]

Looks cool and fun! Can't wait to see more.

[SashaP]

Your concepts are looking incredible! Great job so far!

[Smash.rs]

Hey dude! Great concepts so far.
I like the Invoker Kid much, although i know you're great with drawing hot chicks, and the griphon one would be really cool.
But, i guess you can make cooler, and, as someone said before, less typical things with the kid.

Keep it up! :thumbsup:

[BloodTaster]

Hey guys, thanks for all the replys! here is another idea. Some people go to war for personal reasons, here is an example: (sorry for my english)

[Loukor]

Haha this is pretty cool man, did she cut off her puppies head and used it for her shoulder pad? sorry if thats not it :P. cheers

[BloodTaster]

Haha this is pretty cool man, did she cut off her puppies head and used it for her shoulder pad? sorry if thats not it :P. cheers

hehehe. it's not a bad idea. But for now is just a metal replica :P

[njoo]

Nice concept! For some reason I really dig the strap across the chest on the far right of the 2nd drawing, I'm not sure what it is, looks like some eyeball on some strap, but either way the design sticks out alot more then the other gear to me, maybe something you can play around with for the armor theme, but either way it kicks ass!

[Gyorkland]

niceee! the dog is awesome and he looks even cooler teaming up with that funny little girl

[BloodTaster]

njoo: thanks for your feedback, I will think about your considerations:thumbsup:

Gyorkland: thanks!

[dmonk]

Wow, I completely dig this! Reminds me a little of Joe Mad's Battlechasers with the big glove. Definitely a style I'd want to model.

[ardenrey]

Great fun concept!:D wait for following sketches with impatience

[Miqosis]

Interesting concept. The little girl and her dog concept is a great direction; but if they killed her dog, which dog is that beside her? Please tell me its a ghost-dog...

She's got a lot of personality; the dog shoulderpad is clever, and a very nice touch to give her a weapon that "fetches" itself (boomerang), but I think I prefer the kid on the far right in your second drawing of the first post. It's a healthy step away from Battlechasers (very good catch there, dmonk)

[Doch]

This is really a nice concept . I 'll keep an eye on this

[BloodTaster]

hi guys, thx for the feedback


dmonk: yes, I know. But I'm just starting, so hope that my design can stay away from joe mad. I glad that you liked, feel free to modeling if you wish :)

ardenrey: thanks, I will try post something soon. maybe some color sketchs.

Miqosis: yes, Its kind of undead dog...the undead puppy from hell hehhe. changes on the concept are coming

Doch: thanks, hope you like the final version.

[Ferx]

Hey Vinicius, really great concept, I like a lot!! For sure a great and cute dangerous warrior :D
Cant wait to see more of your progress. Cheers my friend :beer:

[jramauri]

Reminds me a little of Joe Mad's Battlechasers with the big glove.
I had the same feeling, whan I saw the boomerang and glove. I hope you can stary away fro that image, as you said.

Man, I'd say I prefer the boy version. I think that angry face and her revenge motivations don't look so good with a little girl. At least for me.

[rawwad]

Whoa, great idea! Love her, especialy older one :D Go for it!

[superpauloitalo]

Very good concepts, Bloodtaster! I'll keep an eye on you.

[MartinNielsen]

A child... great to another unique character. We really need that among all these warlords and monsters. :thumbsup: I think you should keep that nasty look on her face, she just seems more motivated that way. Be careful though not the make the armor on her shoulder too big, or she can't move her arm that much.

[BloodTaster]

Hi guys, thanks for all feedback and support! Here is another update on the little girl. Just playing with some colors. Next I will try work on the "angry puppy from hell".

[dmonk]

Yes, 7 year olds gouging out their eyeballs to make enchanted boomerangs is always cool.

:thumbsup: You must include the bubble pipe!

[MoNinja]

I really love this concept, and I love your painting style. Can't wait to see this character!~

[marsyas]

Love the boomerang and the dog face on her shoulder.

Looking great!

[Yazbek]

Hey man,
you have some good painting skills!!congratulations!!
and i really like your idea!!its hard to see a child character here!!and one that take her eyes out to make a weapon, its the first time!!awesome!!
good luck!

[inneractive]

Hey that's a great concept. I love the contrast between childlike cuteness and dark, gritty artifact.

[MartinNielsen]

Superb development :thumbsup: Cute, but revengeful.

[saint-max]

Loved the red hair and the red eye really great looking forward for the final drawing :wise: :thumbsup:

[eEe]

OMG!.. what can I say. I've worked in the game business for a while now and it's not often I get the chance to see as strong characters as this. Please don't stop working on this one.

Have you any plans for the final illustrated concept?

[BloodTaster]

dmonk: I seriouly thinking about keep the bubble pipe hehehe :twisted:

MoNinja: thanks, I'm glad that you liked.

Yazbek: Thanks! Child characters are rare here, but they are appearing... and until the deadline there will be more I think.

marsyas, inneractive, MartinNielsen: thanks!

eEe: thanks! I'm still thinking about the final illustration, so sugestions are welcome!

[iLegacy]

The idea with the eye for the artiact is storytelling and great! BUT than, the eye shouldn't be red :)

[walrus]

Hey, Vincius, this is looking really nice. The color scheme looks particularly striking on her. THe eye and the boomerang thing is kind of sick, but it also works and certainly paints her as a tough character! The one crit I'd offer is that, when you get around to painting your final piece, perhaps watch out about making her nose too sharp and angular the way is looks in the last couple of renders you've done. A nice, chiseled nose works well on an older character like your Griffon Woman, but kids' noses are uniformly more rounded and smooth. Just a small nit pick (I'm nit-picking her nose!) but thought you'd want to hear it. Looking forward to seeing your work on the dog, too!

-mike

[BloodTaster]

iLegacy: thanks for your comment!

walrus: I know what talking about man, and you're right. I'll pay attetion next time, thanks again!

[alexrhino]

Weak concept. Looks like Warhammer or Wow. Poor ideas. IMHO.

[Swizzle]

Weak concept. Looks like Warhammer or Wow. Poor ideas. IMHO.See that, folks? Now that was a constructive post. Friendly, helpful, lots of good advice and some really deep insight. I love how he really tried to help you improve you piece by giving you a lot of things to think about while not being insulting or rude.

[BloodTaster]

Weak concept. Looks like Warhammer or Wow. Poor ideas. IMHO.
Thanks for your sincere opinion, I could not say if looks like Warhammer or Wow, because I never played those games. I am Counter-Strike guy :)

[jramauri]

Pretty, prety cool design. My only crit goes for her legs, that are too short for me. If you hide her bottom part and look the size of her arms, you'll imagine that her legs should be a bit longer than they are now. With such short legs, she looks like a dwarf, what I believe that's not your intention.

I like the color scheme a lot, and she looks to have a lot of personality. Great job!

[BloodTaster]

jramauri: Yep, I think the same thing, so already try fix that and posted again. Thanks for your comments! until the final sheets I will get all proportions right, I hope so hehe.

[MartinNielsen]

I'm not an expert on Warhammer or WOW, because I don't play them. But I know what they are about, and there are MANY other concepts around, that are MUCH closer to these games. Your concept is fine.

[chindian]

Nossa xara! Muito boa idea! Bem legal!! rsrsrs!

It's definitely a unique piece and I'll be following this thread! Really lookin forward to see how you develop the dog character! I think the girl has a great design so far and works well from silhoutte. Keep it up!
Thanks for the comments on my thread!

Fallow!

[BradBroder]

I really like your design, very cool character :)

[Loukor]

Great to see a young character in the competition, gives off a nice variation. I can't wait to see more of your work, btw I loved your Strange Behavior piece.

[BloodTaster]

MartinNielsen: thanks for you support man!

chindian: Obrigado! I'm glad that you liked.

BradBrode:thanks!

Loukor: thanks, more updates soon as possible.

[dmonk]

I'd argue that this would be a pretty damn cool character to have in WOW actually.

[DoInferno]

Hey Vinicius, i haven´t seen you thread yet. This is a damn cool character in my opinion! I love the little bad girl. She really seens scary to me. And i like the details on the clothes and props too. Congrats, man. Nice work so far!

[SteevieWoo]

WEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLL.... first of all:
Hello Vinicius! I'm more than pleased to witness your work process again. and I'm really so happy to see you went with the little summoner Girl! She's just neat!, now, some how I think that the expression in the grayscale 'payback' sketch ç looks cooler than the color one, maybe the eyebrow on the color version is too thin and trimmed for a child, anyway it's just a thought. But if you're gonna represent her in the moment of summoning the pup, I think the frowny, more stressed version will look amazing!
I'll be following this one for sure pal.

[inneractive]

Weak concept. Looks like Warhammer or Wow. Poor ideas. IMHO.

I just wanted to say that as a Warhammer and WH40k fan your concept did not remind me of WH or WoW at all when I looked at it. I'm looking forward to seeing more.

[Doch]

she got that look "don't mess with me" kinda :) , I really like the concept ,
great one . can't wait to see your next update .

[chihiroko]

how come i miss you thread!!
I really admire your idea!! the invoker kid rock!:bounce:
(I am not a fan of cool looking and big muscle character....haha)

you should keep working on the dog. maybe combine different animal. try to give him a unique look.

[Dalton-Muniz]

Oh, great drawings man! The idea for the weapon is so cool too!
I will be watching this!
Tá muito legal cara!

Good luck!
Abraços!
Dalton

[MonkeyUncle]

Love the little kid one. Great great fun style! Can't wait to see more!

Monk

[DDS]

dnt worry man, Warhammer and WoW ar ****ing awesome games.

Great job, love the boomerang. Did I say it before? ;)

[BloodTaster]

Wow, just wanna say thank for all your support guys!
DoInferno, SteevieWoo, inneractive, Doch, chihiroko, Dalton-Muniz, MonkeyUncle, DDS Thanks a lot!

Well, here is another little update. I'm really stuck on this "dog from hell" stuff....still trying get the right design. Some things that I already notice:
- Try avoid the lizzard or dinossaur look, the character must look like a dog (any more bright ideas? hahaha)
- keep away from "over-detailed monster", so the character can match better with the girl
- I'm not sure about the rotting thing. Looks nice, and match the theme, but sometimes seems a fragile visual to me. This puppy will fight against really big machines.

Tell me what you think, would bee nice have a little feedback right now :)
Thanks again!
http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/1778/sketchs04wv5.jpg

[inneractive]

I really am liking the four-legged version. I think he looks the toughest, but also more pet-like than the humanoid version. For the head it is a tough choice. I definitely like the chain collar and head-gear of B anf F though.

[Novbert]

I think C and F versions of the head are the best.
I like the headgear idea and the four leg version

[Stinger88]

loving this idea...great concepts

I like dog head D with the bottom right dog pic....the one with armour plating up the back.

Just one minor niggle. The dog is so aggressive looking and vicious. Then you have an upset fat puppy laborador for her shoulder armour. It looks great on her as it suits the kid/cute style but it doesnt reflect the beast. Just a thought.

[superpauloitalo]

Four legged version is my favorite.

[Azagthoth]

rotting style, yeah! :buttrock:
I like head D.

[Loukor]

I like rotting style with D or E but I wonder how a girl with a clean outfit will fit in with a rotting dog? I'm interested to see the two characters combined, cheers.

[BloodTaster]

Thanks for the feedback guys!

Stinger88: I totally agree, the shoulder pad is one of the things that I'm still working. :thumbsup:

Loukor: yes, I think the same way. Some modifications are on the way.

I'm already working in new dog version, updates soon as I can! thanks again!

[Ferx]

Hey Vinicius, amazing work my friend, really like all of the sketches and is difficult to take a decision :D. I like the four legs version of the "puppy" :D and the rotting style.... woooww cool !! and love the "D" expression. Incredible work!!. Looking forward for more updates. Cheers my friend!! and many beers and tequila shots !! :beer:

[Hideyoshi]

wow, you got some great varsatitlity going on here! Love everything so far, so I am just gonna watch your porgress! :)
The boomerang is a great artifact idea!

[SteevieWoo]

I'd vote four legged (the beastiest the better), rotting (just neat, and it fits the story),
with 'a' head (the protuding chin looks cool. I also ptreffer skelletal nose over the fleshy one). but anyway it's goin real well. Maybe a fragment of a big broken chain could hang from his neck. I dont know... :D

[BloodTaster]

thanks everyone for the feedback!!... here is another test on the dog
http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/115/sketches05zf2.jpg

[jbrophy]

Oh wow, that is awesome.

Right now the pooch is looking a little bare. Good job.

[Maddog-CP]

Looking good!

I think the last dog concept is looking to lizard or beast like. Getting kinda far removed from a canine. I liked the previous drawings for the dog. Perhaps no horns though, maybe large spike collar or something? Pet vs Pet or Summons vs Summons characters or battles will usually have a beast biting another beast, a dogs weakness is usually the neck, so maybe neck armor or something so other beasts/pets cant bite it or hold it there?

[kenzoabeki]

This is pure fan. I like the concept of the girl, the monster, and her artifact, the most original, so far. Wann see more. See ya.

My Dominance War III

[Alcino]

Amazing stuff here. Your concept is among those that got me trying the challenge too :). I agree with Maddog-CP (http://forums.cgsociety.org/member.php?u=316327), i'm not too big a fan of the horns, cause they get you too far from the dog (though the color rendering is beautiful). In your sketches, for instance, you already tried horns, but since theirs shape looked like dropping hears, it worked. here it's too "goat -like", if i may say.

As to how to enrich the dog, I thought you could have elements relating either to the accident (something that went through the dog's body still there or bruised or broken parts) or to the burrying by the girl (like a broken wooden cross with the puppy's name painted on it by the girl hanging from the chain round his neck for instance). hope this can help :thumbsup:. I can't wait to see the final piece.

[BloodTaster]

Thank you guys for the feedback! I'm not sure about the horns too...but its part of my process, test some things for while and see if I liked or not. So, let's keeping working:)
thanks a lot!

[walrus]

What about keeping the horns but adding ears (like a bull's head, which has both... well, actually, any creature with horns also has ears (except your dog.)

Overall, this is looking really nice, Vincius! I always like your crisp rendering, and I kinda like that he's not just a hairy dog. Thje mouth is especially nice. I also love those spikes growing out of his back, and would love to see you take that texture further. I like Alcino's idea about making him have some tie to his demise.

One crit I have is the proportions of his hand-legs in the color render. in the upper-right sketch they look a lot larger, and I think that shape works better.
cheers!

-mike

[Gyorkland]

Thats a blood taster! so agressive man I've always been fan of the dog and finaly I get to see it painted, awesome

[daelon]

one of the most interesting proposals i have seen

[Ferx]

Hey Vinicius, really nice update. I like a lot the style on the back of your dog, really cool spikes and textures. About horns, I like the idea and perhaps a more helmet look with horns fit better on the concept ( and the tips of the horns a bit down, to the dog dont need to down much the head to attack with horns :) ), only a comment :) Again, really fantastic job, I love your concept!! Cheers my friend !! :beer: ( and ready for the tequilas!! :D)

[BloodTaster]

wow, thanks for the tips guys! always a nice feedback going on here:). Yeah, some modifications on the horns, and maybe some ears, I will work on it!

thanks!:thumbsup:

[ManiacSoul]

wowdude! great concept character on this girl and her "puppy" the best idea that I have seen till now!

[dandan]

curses, thats kinda what i just started, i wish i had seen this earlyer :sad:. Amazing work btw, i really like your style!

[SteevieWoo]

I really dig those massive paws! Those make him look really heavy.
I think the ears make the dog too. the horns are good but can be confusing on a earless doggie :D
I miss some of the exposed bones, but that's just me.
Keeps gettin' nastier... I like the twisted fangs too....

[BloodTaster]

Hey guys, I've been off for while...creative blocks and some work to do. But here is an update. One of the sheets, with some modifications on the characters. Soon I'll post some studies for the final piece. Thanks for feedback and support!

http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/254/sheet03testvu1.jpg

[Gyorkland]

awesome but....
No way! the final design of my dual portal blades has many closed eyes that open up to summon. you posted first so I guess I'll have to change it

[walrus]

Hi, Vinicius! Looking good! The characters haven't changed much (I know you've been busy) but the layout is nice. One thing I just wanted to point out is that acocrding to the rules (http://www.gameartisans.org/contests/events/3/submissions/index.php), only the big winning pose shot can be in color. The other 2 pages - the model sheet and the concept sheet (which this look like) must be "black & white or single color (example light blue to dark blue etc)." Dunno why it's a rule, and your peice certainly looks cool with color and sketchwork combined... just didn't want you to get bumped for a small detail like that. :)
Keep going, and good luck! (When you're done, are you going to join the latest CGCahllange too?)

Hi Michael, and yes I know about the rules, but I decide post here the color version anyway.:rolleyes: The final version will be grayscale, but thanks for warning:thumbsup:.

About the Cgchallenge, I will join soon, after finish this. Can't wait to catch you guys, see you there!

[SteevieWoo]

Good thing you kept the the bubbly sketch of the girl, I like it a lot and for a bit I thought it was not included in this one, oh I felt bad! Also, the way the ears seem to grow from his 'frown' and cheekbones is cool, and he's still hace some horns, so evryone wins!

The boomerand is just creepy, I like the fact you directed his sight like it's staring at something, that improves the drawing a lot.

My only crit is that the chain looks too thin, no wonder he broke free:D

[DDS]

it looks darn cool dude. I love her expressions and the story behind the eye is disgustingly cool ;)

Good luck!!

[Ferx]

Hey Vinicius..... woooooowooooooooo ultra cool my friend!!! the colours are really great, and the expressions are superb, and the artifact concept with the eye is a totaly insane touch ( in the good way :D) and simply love the action poses, great!! Again, a totaly awesome work my friend!! Cheers!! :beer: ( the tequila is ready !! :D)

[medunecer]

Simply awesome!

[Agostinuke]

I like the concept expecially the little one-eyed-theother-in-the-boomerang girl; she's so evil. I like also the painkillerish rotting dogs...

nice.

Thank you folks for the support!

[BloodTaster]

I like B and C. The girl is more in focus here.
thanks man, I thinking about C right now...maybe the girl holding some sort of robot's head...I dunno.

[RoGreg]

I had a similar idea to yours. Guess I have to change my boy to an adult for deversity :D
But that's not for discussion here.

I like C best. Maybe with the girl not tilted thaaat much. But otherwise the most dynamic.
Andd that's important for gameart.

Keep going :buttrock:

[RobThornely]

Lovely painting, tons of character. keep it up

[SashaP]

I think she came out incredibly cool! I love her design and her summon! Great job!

[walrus]

I like C too - nice balance of girl, dog, sky, and ground. The dramatic upwards angle is fun and evocative, too - by comparison, A with its straight-ahead angle, seems very static and boring. B would work too, if you added more to the top of the page. Good luck with the painting!

[balasa]

i like letter C. nice angle and has an immediate impact. there is also a lot of potential here for a lot of dramatic lighting and effects.

[AxelAlonso]

I like the view and composition in #C! :D haha maybe to late sorry about that ! I like a lot the design, and the dog looks like a little brother from Cerberus that’s great! The girl’s hair, that red flank and also her bad ass attitude, I will love to see it finished! Excellent style and concept!:thumbsup:

[erik_j]

C as in Capital!

[Ferx]

Hey Vinicius, my vote is for C ( the zoom in of A :D) I think you can try the same composition but in reverse :D , the girl and the dog jumping through the canvas to the viewer, only a wish :D Great work !! Cheers my friend :beer:

[cwu7]

I love the boomrang and the catch arm design, it looks so cool!! Great job!

Hey Vinicius, nice concept and model sheet and waiting yor wip on the final pose :D Great work my friend! Cheers :beer:

[walrus]

Nice sheet, Vinicius! Very solid and very thorough! The only crit I can think of - and this is really minor - is on the Medling sheet perhaps replacing the upper left image of the gauntletted arm (which we already see in the front/back views below) with a shot of her unarmored arm as seen from the left, whcih you don't have anywhere on the page.
Looking forward to seeing your final posed shot. Good luck!

[Art2]

Vinicius, looking great!
Excellent work on the arm design, I also love the final look of the undead puppy.

It depends how you will pose the girl in the final pic, but if it's from the front, you will not be able to see our logo :) I like it on her back thou.
But I believe it is necessary that people can see (a portion of) the logo.

Looking forward to the final!

[DavidSmit]

Nice design! Like how you kept it simple but well designed! The only thing I can think of is that the beast looks a bit front heavy in the model sheet. I would suggest moving the front feet forward a tiny bit. Just a very minor thing though! :)
Can't wait for the final image!

[RahMorais]

amazing man, really cool design and really well done model sheet! can I play with that after the dw? mean, modeling it? hehehe
good luck and good job mate ;)

[BloodTaster]

Hi folks, thanks for your tips! and right now I'm running against time :)
Here an idea about the final pic. Comments are much appreciate, but be quick! hehe I must start the painting process :wip:

http://img363.imageshack.us/img363/469/sheet01wiptt2.jpg

[walrus]

Nice angle, and the chains look good too. Value-wise there's a bit of a lack of variation between mega-puppy and the background behind him. But the girl stands out just fine. I'd say get to work with the rendering! :)

[Ferx]

Hey Vinicius, cool composition. My only comment is about the right leg of the girl, Think that the rigth foot need a bit turned to the front of the viewer and the right leg a bit (only a bit :D) flexed, the weight of your character is in that leg, only a comment :) Great work my friiend !! and waiting to see your final image :D Cheers!! :beer:

[SteevieWoo]

Wow that angle is great, the puppy looks terrific and the most important features of the costume and weapon are clear. What if the bomerang's eye 'looks up' toward the enemy?

I'm not sure how will you work this part, but I hope at least a hint of the puppy's front leg will show among the flames in the lower left part of the pic, that'd be cool.

Go Mr. taster!! :D so close of the grand finale!! I won't miss it.

[Soggyclog]

This is going to be pretty wicked. Love what you have so far.

[BloodTaster]

Hey folks! Really appreciate the support, thanks a lot!
here another update.

http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/660/sheet01wip02ly8.jpg

[Alcino]

great job so far. I just thought the position of the girl could be dynamised a bit and since it inspired me, i gave it a try. I realize it might be too late, but, anyways, here it is. Hope it can help. I did three more or less dynamic versions.

One last thing: even if you don't have the time to redo the whole girl, at least try to redraw the feet the way I did, for, in your present illustration, they are drawn as if it was not a low-angle shot, though it is. Thus, it gives the impression that she's falling backwards a bit, if you see what I mean.

In any case, best of luck for the contest :thumbsup:.

[SirMitchell]

Hey Blood, really awesome work, I love everything so far.

Have you thought about putting the boomerang in the other hand? As you have it posed now, my brain went on auto mode and I thought it was a bow.

Also if you put it in the other hand, it will be more threatening, as should would be winding back to throw.

Regardless, it looks great.

Thanks Mitchell, here is another update!

great man! alcino did a sketch (3rd) the girl has her right leg flexed! I think if you try to go in that way you could give much more sense of motion for her. just give it a try!
good luck

That's all folks! The final pic. I'm not 100% happy with it, but was the best I could do in this last couple of days. Sometimes, the frustation was huge after painting and repainting some parts...almost give up. But it's done. :)
I wanna say thank you again, for all feedback and support, you guys are the best!
and good luck for us all!

The Story:
After her dog was killed by the machines, Kei Kei search for revenge. With a little help of an old shamman, the little girl was iniciate on the necromancy. In a ritual to build a magic artifact, she must give up one her eyes. Now, with that artifact she can bring the dog ( a monster version) to life and fight against the machines.

Just perfect. You did a great piece of game art design. And you wrote a perfectly fitting story. Congratulations!

[MartinNielsen]

I think you can be happy with this one. :) Congrats.

[nathanmckenna]

this is really cool, great ot see a child-like artifact wielder submitted so confidently.

your drawing style is really amazing too, i loved watching the development on this piece.

good luck mate!

[BloodTaster]

thanks guys for your comments! I'm glad that you liked :)

[wilzoon]

Wow! well done, mate! I love the color combination that you used. Congratz!

[The Flork]

thats so tight! i wish i woulda made a summoner :-( very cool! and good sence of character! you can just tell that there would be no dealing with her haha.

[jramauri]

A great final man, congratulations! I hope you can stay among the top ten with this work. Model sheets and the action pose are pretty well executed. I still think her legs should be longer, as I said on the middle on your topic, anyway, she and her puppy look great.

Good luck and all the best!

[Alex Novo]

Not just a dramatic camera angle and pose but dramatic colors as well. Very striking! Nice work, and congrats on finishing! :)

[sirielle]

I've been watching the progress of this image, great concept and execution!

[lallorona]

BLOODTASTER…are you young? Your character remands me of a video game character from Samurai Shodown called Cham Cham. I have a video game bissness and that’s why I know all the characters on it.

I will like to see some thing really new, not translate it to your style.

Did you had a happy child life? because this character dont looks like that. Think on young generations, a very good young generations, happy young generations.

[BloodTaster]

thanks for the replies folks!

lallorona: I'm not young, and yes, a remember Chan Chan. It's that why I called my character with two repeated names...sort of tribute. But, my main inspiration came from a character from Mad Max 2. Sorry if you cant see some really new stuff here, maybe you can try some other threads or forums. I'm sure there is really good stuff out there.

oh...and yes... My childhood couldn't been better. I was a lucky kid :)

not exactly sure what that means. :curious:

[jttruong85]

That girl looks evil. The canine looks badass; this is a solid piece. Congrat and good luck.

Bloodtaster, Your entry is excellent!
This is one of my favorite entries. The idea and character are fun, the rendering is superb and gritty yet works well with the cartoony nature. I love the winning pose shot, the character is presented in a clear way but the image is still kinetic, powerful, and full of energy. The presentation of all aspects of the entry are great. The sketches/modeling sheet are informative to the design, but also visually pleasing, overall a great package! :buttrock:
Congrats on a superb job. :beer:
-I.

[Perin]

Hail to the Brazillians! Muito bom rapaz! Tanto conceito quanto desenho, bom mesmo! Congratulations! Very awesome!

[BloodTaster]

[RaresH]

Congrats on a great finish! You have some strong charachters that would translate well in a game environment. Good luck :beer:.
