And about the current challenge...

BLACK ROSE


"Everything on a ten mile radius was dead. Like a cold-blooded killer, the neurotoxin worked very efficiently. The halls of the main plaza were decorated to the brim with corpses looking like grotesque gargoyles frozen in time. As I explored the silent halls my breather unit echoed loudly and my footsteps rang on the on the now lifeless compound . The New Sidney colony was dead after 10 years. It had taken terraformers 50 years to make the planet livable, another 15 years to get here and 10 years for the colonists to make the planet their home. And it took the Consortium 2 and a 1/2 hours, with a lunch break, to end it all.


Most of the 500 deceased colonists had left the hellhole that was the SOL system looking for the hope of a new life. The Ares system promised that in spades. There were 14 Newly terraformed planets, clean air, and a secure job with the Red Consortium. Hell the Job even had full dental.The problem is that being so far in space this means that the Red Consortium is in practice a fiefdom and they are indeed the only law. But there is little know clause in the contract states that the Red Consortium reserves the right to end any disagreements with management with “due force”. They used to call that once hundred years ago
"extreme projudice".

The colonists strike had lasted almost a year and the movement of the ore and good was paralyzed to Ares Prime. Colonial Lighting Troops were sent to perform negotiate with the striking miners. I was part of the medical contingent. This was my first mission, and I was full of spit and shine. As Field Doctor, I naively had joined the Red Consortium as a way to help mankind. They are known as bleeding edge developers of fantastic cures for the epidemics that were wrecking the SOL system. Somehow they missed putting on recruitment brochures the Genocide paragraph.

When we arrived I was as surprised the colonists, when the troops started spraying "the red dead" over the atmosphere condensers. I fought them hard until someone knocked me out from behind. That bitch Diana from “Classified Ops” laughed like a hyena as they pushed me out of the flying transport. Left for dead, my survival suit was the only thing that prevented me from sharing the fate of those around me.

I walked for hours among the deceased looking like the undead. It is funny how the selective memory works. Of all the horrors I saw on that day in New Sidney, one thing stuck with me five years later. As I walked into the greenery I saw the only survivors of the New Sidney massacre of 2098. They were a batch of roses. And the “Red Dead” dust had turned all of them black"

Game description:
Black rose will be a 3rd person mission based game.
You mission will be to infiltrate the facilities of the Red consortium,
To save the colonists of the Ares system.

Each level has to be resolved in a limited amount of time, since a time-released neurotoxin has been spread in one of the 12 colonies.

You will have a wide array of non-lethal weaponry at your disposal, and you will be able to use different vehicles.

Your story is pretty good,but everyday kind of thing,the time limit idea is a nightmare,at least to me,I think others might like that,and your links don't connect.:)

[Sandpiper]

With such a great introduction to the story and the effort put into the artwork for the game, this could be something really nice. Let's see those models!:thumbsup:

Hope to see her and a vessel up soon.Keep the very nice ideas and modeling coming.It;s off to a very nice start.:thumbsup: :beer:

[BladeFX]

[RobertoOrtiz]

side image:

[kretin]

That's looking very cool Roberto :)

I'd make her feet a little bigger, and make sure that you bend the knees a little in the model, it'll make the IK for her legs much easier to deal with.

[DimitrisLiatsos]

u all guys who make these sexy and nusty girls ..are killing me...why didn't i thing of that....nice update man...u must definitely find the time and texture her!



P.S Kretin ..your avatar rocks man!!!:thumbsup:

[antnik]

Hi Roberto...my girl is ready :love: Good job man...I like it a lot.. you should change a little bit the brown color... not so many parts with the same color...but this is my opinion... Keep it up man :thumbsup: :beer:

[Gregwid]

I have to agree with Antnik.As for the modeling she looks good,fine job.it's wip so I think textures are still coming at a later time.get those crafts done too,they are quite cool.:thumbsup: :beer:

[RobertoOrtiz]

update
http://66.242.144.2/ship.jpg

[RobertoOrtiz]

I am still rigging her.Finished the morph target for the expression.
I am still not happy with her yet...
Still building the enviroment and the spacecraft,

Anyway here is a pic of her current rig.


http://66.242.144.2/rig.jpg
After I sleep a bit i'll post a rendered version of this pose.

[Virtuoso]

Allright morph targets,rigging and toys.Looking good Roberto,go for it hard,looking very good,and as always done with a nice style.:thumbsup: :beer:

[RobertoOrtiz]

Thanks Virtuoso, you are the soul of this challenge.

Your comments are appreciated.

As promised here is a rendered update. I think she is too skinny,
I might make her gain some weight.

[Aearon]

i love the model Roberto, but the texturing & rendering needs some improvement in my humble opinion. you should decrease the saturation of the textures a lot, they should be more like pastel tones. this way you'll get more uniform lighting and the renders will looks better automatically, just a tip

you also have some over-exposure in you latest image, but that's also caused by the bright textures as far as i can see.

you entry is great already, all i'm saying is that the render doesn't do the great model justice :thumbsup:

[antnik]

Hey Roberto. Very good job man...:thumbsup: Keep it up.:thumbsup: :beer:

[Scottosh]

Yes a little more muscle,not fat.Also I agree about the textures.But still this is a really interesting thread,I lke it one of the most.Keep going,refine her and the machine.:thumbsup: :)

[RobertoOrtiz]

Next the Black Rose Logo.
I drew this yesterday, but I am posting it now...

This turned out quite nice Roberto, sorry I wasn't able to provide you with any input.

[H3x]

You're a very talented artist. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of background do you have? Did you go to school for art? Your work is very impressive. How do you come up with these kind of ideas? How do you plan on making this a game? Great job!
