i had needed some time to come up with a game idea. now i think i got something. i plan to do a character, named cheetah, see below, and if i have enough time, also an environment. but first i concentrate on the character (will completely be done in zbrush) the game is named

nekonohito

this game is an action adventure and the story goes as this :

we write the year 4003. civilization on earth has dramatically changed in the last 2000 years. due to genetic experiments it happened by accident that humans mixed with animals. many new breeds arised. one of the most successful among them are the nekonohito, the cat-humans, a mixture between gepards and humans. they match the velocity and elegance of the gepards with intelligence and social behavior of humans. they developed a high civilization and own religion in such short time of 2000 years.

the most important religous idol, the mighty acinonyx, of the nekonohito were stolen. this is an idol made of pure gold and representing the very first of the nekonohitos. he was a very powerful creature. the theft was done in a stormy night, noone of the nekonohito noticed that, only in the next morning they found the space where he was placed void....

the game begins where cheetah, a young warrior princess of the nekonohito, is going to get back the idol of the mighty acinonyx. she has to struggle a lot to find the idol, fighting against their ennemies, the biggest are the humans and the cruel hyaena-humans. however shes got a little friend to help her....


here is a concept of cheetah. (sorry for the poor quality) (and good luck to all challengers ! )

Looking good Kokoro, I really like the feline head. I'm interested in seeing how you do the armour in Zbrush. Hope you also have the time to do an environment because this looks very promising:thumbsup:

the paws look a little strong for a cheetah, but in this case there is more weight to carry, so i think it should look like this, should it not ?

Hey guy looking good you are a fast modeller, but I am not sure what is going on with the crotch area there, looks kinda like she has a big crack in her armor or somthing :thumbsdow

lol :shame:

Nice job so far. I think cute is a safe bet. No-one wants to see ugly... unless it's cutesy ugly. Uh... forget it.

Look forward to more.

i started texturing the head... needs some more work though, but shows already what i am aiming at.

IMHO, it's hard to see from the position she's in, but from what I can see, it looks better :)
