DWIII - 2D - Kenzo Abeki - Seahorn

[kenzoabeki]

This is an idea for the head, and weapon. Would be glad with some feedback.

Take a look.

[StacyOgie]

Another soldier! Awesome concepts and start. It would be nice if you posted your WIPs in your thread.

[Gyorkland]

That guy rocks man ! keep it up,
what kind of pencil you use to sketch?

[DoInferno]

Nice to see you around Kenchan!! I like your concept. Just a question tough... How does he holds his weapon?? Can he do it with those finger-claw?

[kenzoabeki]

Gyorkland. Thanx man. It´s my first contest, and I´m really exicted about that. For the sketches, I just used a simple Pentel 0.5, with B graphite.
Do Inferno. The weapone will fit to hiz hand. you'll see. It's good to see you!

[kenzoabeki]

DoInferno! Good to see you man. I really liked the idea of the lizzard guy. Well, about his weapon. I didn´t work really hard on the sketch yet, but here´s the deal. If you look closer, you will see that the weapon is designd for his race. The fist is designed for one finger on each side, and there are two holes for the other two fingers. I´ll show it better in the next sketches.

[kenzoabeki]

Hi my friends. Long time I don't update this. I've been having trouble with my scanner, so, it took me sometime to solve that. Here's the new sketch for the weapon, and some designs for the head. I'm running to finish everything, and post all the work, hope you like it. PS: These are photos, I'm really sorry, but the others images will be scanned.

[StacyOgie]

Would be nice if I could see your image...

[RedRepublik]

i like the proportions of the arms and legs. he looks very powerful. um..3 weeks left you know. get modeling!

[kenzoabeki]

I made some changes in the head and tried to design his arms too. These are the results. I'd like to apologize for everybody who's been seen this. I'm really having trouble with my hardware, and I'm doing my best to post everything here. From now on, I hope I can provide this thread with good images. Thanks a lot. And I really hope you guys like it.

[kenzoabeki]

The images...I really don't know what's happening.

[walrus]

Nice design so far. The third head you posted with the 2 big vertical mandibles is really saying "Predator" to me (the movie, not just that he's a predator) so I think you should pass on that one. Meanwhile, I find the 2nd head interesting. Seahorn's body and shoulders are really wide, so I think you could really fit a wide head like the second and it would look fitting. Anyhow, that's just my opinion, for what it's worth. Good luck!

[kenzoabeki]

walrus, thank you so much for the feedback. About the "predator" head, you're totally right. After I draw that, I realized that, and tried to do something different, and the wider head came out. I'm preparing the final images right now. Thank you again, and good luck you too.

[kenzoabeki]

And here we are. This is (almost) the final version for Seahorn. Yes, he has some kind of glove in his left hand. Yes, his legs resemble corals, there will be time and images to explain. Now I'm going to the final images, and coloring. Wish me luck, lol.

[kinonato]

thanks for the support, and good luck on finalizing too.

[Blaschke]

Come on, don't stop.
Good cheer man!

[kenzoabeki]

Well. Since there's not much time left, I had to work hard on this. I finished this right now, and would like you to watch this. Hope you guys like it. The last image I'm gonna do, is the winning pose. See ya.

[Necronomiden]

hi thought i drop by :) really nice concept man, were both on the Air/Lightning ship! lol. good luck :thumbsup:

[The Flork]

you know what might be3 cool, is if you holowed out the legs... or shins i guess they would be, and make them like shileds so when a blast comes at him he can honker down in his legs like spartins and their shields :-D

[kenzoabeki]

Well, that a good idea. Really good. I make some tries. Thanks!

[kenzoabeki]

Some tests.

[andy6308AAA]

Hi my friends.
I like your concept.

[kenzoabeki]

The interesting in this character, I think, is that I created him to be a "killing machine". He is not deffensive, he can use his arms and legs to engage any battle. About that, you can remember Gen. Grievous, from SW. Well, hope you like it.

[Nuy]

hey! I like your concept and cool sketch:)
cheer!!!

[DoInferno]

Hey my friend! Your characther is great. Hope we finish it all on time!! Hooah!!

[kenzoabeki]

Hey Nuy, DoInferno. Thank for the support. And yes, we're going to finish in time. Heeeell yeah!!!

[ericvedder]

Hey Kenzo.. I like your action poses.. the bottom one especially!

E

[medunecer]

I like your character. Great design! Good luck!

[BeeFGee]

hey kenzo, I really like your drawing style! Very cool Idea man !!! Can´t wait to see it in 3d !!

This guy reminds me a bit of some creatures from Dungeon Siege II ... I
even don´t remember how they were called.

thank you for replying my thread :) ... cheers

[wilzoon]

Wow, nice concept! Cant wait to see more :)

[kenzoabeki]

Octostatue, ericvedder, medunecer, beefgee, wilzoon, thanks for the support. In fact, in the last action pose, I tried to make him look more agile, dynamic. And I like the result. About the Dungeon Siege thing, I really have to search something about it, because I haven't played the game.
Anyway, thank you very much for the support.

[BeeFGee]

Hi Kenzo. had Dungeon Siege still on my pc. Made a few quick screenshots for u. The Creature I meant is called durvla.

[Gough]

cool concept! i really like the very bottom winning pose, it's dynamic and shows alot of your character. Although i kinda like the one on the far right too :)

keep it up!

[jttruong85]

Hi Kenzo. Awesome sketches. I'll be following your post.
By the way, you should upload your images to http://photobucket.com/ before you run out of room in attachment. :D
Good luck to you. :beer:

[kenzoabeki]

Hey jttruong85, Gough! Thanks for the support and the tips, I'll be working on that.

[Maxter]

Hi Kenzo, these are pretty cool designs... good work!:thumbsup:

[kenzoabeki]

Thanx man. I'm trying to finish this.

[kenzoabeki]

Uhhh. I'm trying to finish this. I'm doing all in pc, cause my scanner is rip. I'm working with a friend's tablet, and doing everything in digital. I'm not used to this. Weel, I keep on walikng.^^ See ya.

[kenzoabeki]

this is a preview to the winning pose. I still am not happy with the legs...any suggestions?

[jttruong85]

Hey cool, you got it color. Cant wait to see the finished piece.
I started to add color to mine too, check it out.
The contest is due on april 12 right?

[kenzoabeki]

Thanx! Hope I can finish this in time.

[kenzoabeki]

Hey guys. I've been really busy these days, so, I just got to finish my action poses and my winning pose. It was made in watercolor, and I did the background in pscs2. So, I think this is mixed media. I started painting in digital, but I thought it would be really nice to paint it traditionally. I really hope all you guys like it. Here is the action poses, and the winning pose.

[BeeFGee]

sweeeet :) ... very cool painting man! I like the way you did it, the traditional way with watercolors. It´s always a good idea not to forget the basics! I dont think that I´ll be finished this week, but I try it :) ... you should check out my thread soon.

cheers

[kenzoabeki]

Thanks so musch for it BeeFGee.

[The Flork]

awesome man!

[DDS]

[kenzoabeki]

The Flork, DDS, thanx for the support. I really loved to join this battle. Now I'm waiting for the next!!!
