I apologise for the poor quality of the sketch. I'm currently undergoing a relearning process with my drawing skills.
NOTE TO SELF: STOP USING A DIGITAL CAMERA TO SCAN YOUR CONCEPTS WITH!!!:surprised

Let me know what you think of the concept. I may do a few ideas.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: ......Very Happy to see the man with the best attitude and wonderful personality around the CG World in once again.....:beer:

Very nice storyline,interesting character,I expect to see this fierce warrior in an XBOX 2 game come Fall 2005.:) :beer:

[hypercube]

Very cool concept, can imagine this looking sweet already, and great lighting opportunities. :thumbsup:

[coCoKNIght]

cool story Erilaz :thumbsup:
good luck for the challenge!

[erilaz]

Hey! Thanks for the comments guys!:D

Virtuoso: Thanks very much! You really know how to boost up one's spirit. I hope to get somewhere with this one. Maybe even finish it this time!:D

hypercube: I'm glad you find the concept is interesting. I've had this guy in the back of my mind for a while now. I hope I can achieve that look that is stuck in my head!

coCoKNIght: Ta coCoKNIght. You too! Have fun!



Work is really hectic at the moment, but hopefully I can make a start at lunchtime today. This will be my first attempt at an Asian face, so that will make things even more interesting.

Good luck to all.

:wavey:

Welcome back for another round.... Can't wait to see how you develop this Idea...

[erilaz]

Thanks KayosIII!


Well, here we go! This is the start. The very tiny and not much done start, but the start (Those that have seen my work before know i like to show as much progression as possible).

Three guesses as to where this ninja-style of head modelling comes from!:D

I realised today that I've never modelled an asian face before, so this will be an interesting challenge.:wip:

[Virtuoso]

All masterpieces start somewhere.As good a place to start is from the beginning. And this is as good a start as any.Keep :wip: :wip: ......Erilaz,it's great to see all the steps,you have a very good story/foundation.Looking forward to more......................:thumbsup: :beer:

[satanatron]

cool concept......are we going to be able to see the phantom limb, ie: a shadowy/ ghost-like limb, or will it be completely invisible?.......

[erilaz]

satanatron, I'm looking at making it almost completely invisible, but having rain flow off it.

Sadly, I'm not going to have a lot of time to do this challenge as I'm flat out on other projects!:annoyed:

Oh well, let's just see what happens!:D

[Vandal]

erilaz, I really like your idea!!

I have a really hard time coming up with good concepts or ideas for stories. I'm not as creative as most artists I know, but very technical when it comes to computers.

Note to self: Don't steal other people's ideas.. heheh

[erilaz]

Thanks for the kind words Vandal.

As I suspected, I have little to no time for work on this project. I think if I don't get a chance to do anything for the challenge, I will at least keep this character for future work. I think I can develop him into something worthwhile.

So stay tuned, but don't hold your breath. MAJOR workload at the moment.:thumbsdow

Great concept, I always love character that combine diferent cultural concepts (the graceful movement and fighting style of a chinese warrior and the "crudeness" and simple lines of nordic runes).
By the way, if you need some reference material concerning nordic runes, I have some images that may help.
Again, great concept, I'm looking forward to seeing how it'll turn out:thumbsup: :)

I really like the concept! Let's see some more :bounce:

I would like to apologise to those who would have liked me to get this character going. There was too much on this month. I will endeavour once again to succeed in the next challenge!:wavey:
