This is the head design for my character. i wanted it to look like a bug head :P

I wanted something shell like, but not too organic, I guess this is ok.

Great drawings, Kinonato! I really like where you're going with this. It's hard to say which headpiece I like best - all of the ones with horns have great silhouettes and some unique forms.... I like the one you sketched out, but I also really like the one on the far right second from the top (the one with both a 3/4 view and a side view.) It would be nice to see the bodies taken a bit further: The hears have such extreme silhouettes with their horns, and the bodies have no horns at all, and all basically human outlines. Maybe see what happens when you push that further.
Good luck!

[Hideyoshi]

ooh, that's definitely along my tastes! :)
The head dsign is great and the whole character gives a Guyver vibe which is coo!
Looking forward!

ps:
Hideyoshi, thanks for checking out my works, :P I Like ur ideas too, especially the lady with the crow.

[erik_j]

wow totally cool guy! :D great idea with the insect exoskel look and that beetlehornlike stuff and wingy things! looking really cool and original.

about shoulder and hips, perhaps break the mainstream trend of bulky pads and stuff? maybe a more streamlined solution? if you avoid bulky typical knight:ish or spacemarine:ish shoulderpads the elegant stuff like the style given by the protruding stuff like wings and horns would be more dominant.. I vote for close-to-anatomy shoulder and hip solutions (but no CLAMP-like straight thin hips.. men with broad hips (atleast at mouscles under waist) are sexy!)
ps: protruding stuff from shoulders and/or hips seems cool too though... but I vote for something integral to his body if so.. so.. not something you dress up in..
well those are my silly ideas :)

hope to see more! :) great ideas, keep it up!

[kenzoabeki]

Lovely man. This root-insect like armor is so alive and organic!!! Wanna see more. See ya!

My Dominance War III

[naitgrey]

This is nice.

My Dominance War III

[Miqosis]

Gorgeous stuff here, mister. A definite Gyuver/Devilman thing happening, but unique enough not to come across as just a variation of either. You found a solid balance between elegance and badass that a lot of designs try for (and fail). I'm especially glad your final design seems to fit with erik_j's advice and goes for something sleek, rather than this suffocating trend of already bulky dudes burried in thick armor.

Are those the final colours you're going with too? It might be a bit stronger if you bring a little more into that flat grey. Even just a little tonal variation will make all those little details you've worked so hard on a bit more noticable.

[emorhconoM]

Now that is freaky. The concept, in therms of design, however seems to be closer to sci fi than to medieval fantasy. Are you sure its compatible with the rules?

[MartinNielsen]

Wow! Really kool character design you have there :) It seems both agile and at the same time well protected.

[kenzoabeki]

Yey! Wanna see more of this. The last image is really cool. Is he going to be all dark?

My Dominance War III

[kinonato]

to : Miqosis
First of , thank you for running thought my thread.
About the flat grey, yes I was trying to “un-flat” it, difficult but still trying, thanks for the crit.


to : emorhconoM
I guess medieval dose not discriminate odd shape does it??, Just my point of view, anyway thank you for your concern, I was worried at first, well then again, I might lose the competition, if so well my idea spoken, which is more then enough; if I win, may be you will see a screenful of black\ dark buggy units crawling across the screen:) wish me luck. I’m sure I’ll be needing it.

to : evryone thanks for the support :)

be updating this thread later this evening :)

Ok this is a bad start, i really hav to redo this, emmmmm, the grey is still flat, i tried wit a littlwe green on the shouder and stuff but not working.

[kinonato]

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2237/2370099069_3f39a50730_o.jpg

its somethink i like to do, not needed, but i like it, I have alweays wanted to do comic scriping. :)

I think the flag at the right end is nice, think I'll keep it in the final.

[MartinNielsen]

He he, I had something similar in mind for my character, explaining how he came to be the creature he is now :) But I'm already way behind. No time...

Sweet work :thumbsup:

Ok I'm still working on the falg i said, and the legsa seems a bit on, still toning it :P, crits are welcom.

to MartinNielsen
like to share your idea sometimes, may b after this when we r all free, keep in touch :)

[AxelAlonso]

uuh! I like that grey scale and green light texture , I think the design doesnt need more color for the complexity of his layers , great concept! all the poses look dynamic but the spare sword type it's not easy to read the full power it has ... so maybe push more the action on it, only a sugestion you are going to finish very well I can tell ! Congratulations!:thumbsup:

ok the artifact my character posess are more to Jewllry, then weapon, but i think it could only be shown in the concept sheet rather in the final. its an amulet and a palm Jewl, hope things could tourn out well :)

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2178/2386251443_02d04c2f9c.jpg

some back ground element, as the story happend after a very mordent age, some left over of the previoused develpoement is needed.

This is Vysator in his full human form.

[kinonato]

Hey AxelAlonso! thanks for checking in :) appreciats it, by the way i saw your character, alsome. very original, and difficult,(as in if we have to model it in 3D), I like it, a little suggestion, may b some particles of jelly fish and add a grate presentation to it.about the post, :P i did try posing it with the hand out, but then took out too much space.:P best of luck, for the both of us.

[MartinNielsen]

Nice nice :thumbsup: One thing you should avoid, is making your character look mechanical, which is not allowed. When take a quick look at it, I could be fooled to think is was some kind of high tech suit. Just a note :)

[kinonato]

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2250/2387181094_6b127a59fe_b.jpg

Ok these are some of the weapon of choice that his "suite" can genarate. and shit, coz, i had this feeling that i have to change the pose, this time to an archery state., shit!, i'm not asking for idea thou, but u may tell me to stop, it a bit too late any way. dam......

[jttruong85]

Wow the close up of the last image is amazing. Very nice concept. I like the weapon as well. Well done. :thumbsup:

[AxelAlonso]

Hi Kinonato,

That Arch its Fantastic, love the pose and the power that it's about to blow! Very well done! The sketch it’s also great! the colors are going well, the green glows are expressing well over the texture, I will suggest some pink high light in the reverse side of your main light source, could be from dead robot lights or something like that just to do some drama over all the green , then again just a suggestion haha!:wip:

Thanks for the feedback, I will sure play with the jellyfish texture more on her, and yes I think fun will be already the best part of this war! Thanks for the watch!;)

Think i'll crop a little the sides and maybe some closeup,:P 1000px is really limited space, n detail:P

thanks for checking in guys:) all the best for us all.:)

Upload, my concept sheet., think i still need some cleaning to do.

[erik_j]

..you need some cleaning to do? please come to my room! D:
j/k x¨) neat sheet! I like your concept loads! it would be totally awesome as player character in a game :) hope you get a job in the industry!
I can imagine the oldschool japanese otaku would love a character such as this given the traditional popularity with insect-guised heroes and the sport of beatle fights :P
good luck in compo!!

[kinonato]

Grand Finale :)

It's over. I'm done. Good luck to all of us.
