Steampunk Myths and Legends Entry: Gilles Pfeiffer

[gpepper]

The topic is too cool to be true !
I can't stay spectator of this challenge !
I hope to find time to work on it.
No idea yet but I think I will do something like a huge robot in a 1900's style or a city or a big monument in a 1900's style with many anachronisms...
Maybe I will find my ideas looking the Chetzar or Brom steampunk characters or some things my friend Lemog did many times !
Jules Verne books will be a huge source of inspiration too...

[monsitj]

yeah! me too , I love this topic , cos , I don't have to read the novel with my broken english,heheh
welcome back man! have fun! and goodluck:bounce:

[Gunilla]

Heya Gilles! There you are, good luck and much fun!

[Lemog]

Good luck to you too my friend... and don't forget... that must be mythologic or legendary too !

Bonne réflexion !

[Squibbit]

have fun dude

[gpepper]

Thanks all !

Good luck to you too my friend... and don't forget... that must be mythologic or legendary too !

Bonne réflexion !

A myth has to be created ? mmmmm, let's think about it...

ah ouai, pas con...
En gros je dois inventer une légende ou un mythe...

[varma]

Salut Gilles!
So glad you decided to join!
Let's see some mega metal shaders!
:)

[nwiz25]

wishing you all the luck bro! :thumbsup: take care!

[collings]

Hi Gilles, Best of luck man, i'll be watching your thread ;)

A myth has to be created ? mmmmm, let's think about it...

ah ouai, pas con...
En gros je dois inventer une légende ou un mythe...

Je crois que en fait tu dois juste transposer un mythe ou une légende existante dans le style Steampunk.

[Lemog]

En gros je dois inventer une légende ou un mythe...
non, pas inventer, juste transponser un mythe ou une légende connue en version Steampunk...

[gpepper]

Thanks Mathias, Neville and Nicolas !

I now understand the topic better... I didn't really read the instructions, when I saw the word "Steampunk"... I just saw only this ! mouahah...

Don't have any cool idea for the moment, let's see if the next days will give me something...

[scootermaya]

Don't worry, I trust you will come up with a astonnishing legedary "pioupiou" idea again :thumbsup:

[Lemog]

a mechanical "pioupiou" could be a nice idea ! :scream: hahaha

[gpepper]

Don't worry, I trust you will come up with a astonnishing legedary "pioupiou" idea again :thumbsup:

Ahah ! Maybe... A steampunk Pioupiou...

For the moment, the only idea I have is to transpose the story of Moses and the 10 Commandments... Just don't know if we can talk about Myth or legend here...

probably this picture but in a steampunk style, black leather, metal, machines...

tell me guys what you think...

[Lemog]

That works for me :thumbsup:

[flaeticia]

ideas thief!!!

:D

good luck my friend !
thats time to spammmmmmmmmmmm :D

[gpepper]

ideas thief!!!

You thought of this story too ?

[paperclip]

I think is wonderful story, but not sure if it counts as legend...?? I suppose it depends on your beliefs. :D

Will be keeping an eye on this thread, huhuhu

[gpepper]

Maybe you are right. Some think that it is a true story, some think that it is a legend and it became the symbol of many religions... Maybe it happened and if it did, what is true and what is not ? Maybe this is what we call a legend... Something which happened but the story is related with many events which are just imagination...

Don't want to hurt those who think everything is true in the story of Moses. But I think a part of it was Romanticized and Iconized...

[Lemog]

Legend or Reality... it's not the problem... because that keep a good story ! :thumbsup:

[gpepper]

yeah, right.
I just wanted to know if I am not out of topic...

[Lemog]

For me it's good !

[DimitrisLiatsos]

Me too ...:bounce:

[gpepper]

Me too ...:bounce:

Hey Dimitris ! What's up ?

[gpepper]

Another ideas:

-Ulyss and The Cyclop

-Spartan Soldiers

-Merlin the Enchanter

-The Gévaudan's Beast

-The Yeti's Legend

Maybe more to come...

[paperclip]

I really like the idea of Ulysses and the Cyclops, I can see that holding tons of potential. What's Gévaudan's beast about?

[Lemog]

Of course... the Gévaudan's beast would be perfect for... you :scream:

[Lemog]

I really like the idea of Ulysses and the Cyclops, I can see that holding tons of potential. What's Gévaudan's beast about?

The beast of Gévaudan is an anthropophagous animal who attacks against the human ones which have occurred between on June 30, 1764 and on June 19, 1767. These attacks, of which between 88 and 124 were mortals in actual position of knowledge, were perpetrated in the north of old province of Gévaudan (corresponding overall to the department of Lozere, to a lesser extent, in the south of Auvergne and in the north of Vivarais).

[gpepper]

yes, you are probably right !

Laurent answered well !
Some says it was a huge wolf, some says it was another beast and some says it was a man ( probably the one who told that he killed the beast when the murders stopped ) rapist and murderer...

I love the way it was handled in the movie "Brotherhood of the Wolf"... the beast was a mix of a beast brought back from india and metal parts...

here is a quick sketch to have a base for modeling and sketching... Nothing really huge...

[Intervain]

hey cool stuff Giles! I loved the Brotherhood of the Wolves too.. Best of luck!

[Lemog]

Already started... well... respect man...

[collings]

really cool idea gilles :)
nice start with the zsphere, are you going to go for some conventionnal proportion of a "dog" (doberman kind ) or something maybe more unusual ...

[musi]

Hej Gilles,

You are early on this!
From all your ideas the be Beast is my favorite. Do you have any sketches or such?

Good luck!

[Lemog]

or something maybe more unusual ...
as a wabbit ? :scream:

[gpepper]

Thanks all.

really cool idea gilles :)
nice start with the zsphere, are you going to go for some conventionnal proportion of a "dog" (doberman kind ) or something maybe more unusual ...

No I think it will be more brutal, with probably the proportion aof a huge Hyena...
Maybe the beast will be locked in a mechanical cage with the shape of a huge dog robot... 1900 style, for sure...

I would like to approach the style of the Brom dog:

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ilNCLHJeYFA/Rq-PKjU91dI/AAAAAAAAARo/02kjGROXhAA/s1600/brom_dog.jpg

or the machine Flesh dog of Greg Petchkovsky (gjpetch) :

Hej Gilles,

Good luck!

hey Alexandra ! Nice to see you around darling ! ;)
For the moment no sketch, just a basic shape in ZB to try things... I am not so good in sketching with a traditionnal pen... Most of the time now I do 3d sketches with Zbrush...
But I think that tonight I will try to sketch a bit on paper because I have no computer at home...

as a wabbit ? :scream:

Or a Pioupiou ?

[flaeticia]

waouw gilou !!!
so pressure here !!

tu nous mets la pression ou quoi ? :D

[gpepper]

waouw gilou !!!
so pressure here !!

tu nous mets la pression ou quoi ? :D

Non, j'y crois juste à mort ! ;)

[gpepper]

I found this amazing picture:

http://www.jahmasta.com/photo/photo_fr/xmedia/christophe_courteau_02.jpg

The Hyena at right is the famous Crotuca Crotuca but on this picture it looks really monstruous ! More than anyone nightmares !
A good reference for me !

Here is a quick tweak of the base shape before starting to add more details one it.
It won't be my mesh for the beast but just the base to create a sketch to find the best character design on it...


Looks like a pitbull, mouahah...

[paperclip]

Très prometteur!

[Espengenin]

Hey!! lookin' nice.. cant wait to see MOAR :O

Hello Gilles! Just dropping by to wish you luck! Loving the wolf theme by the way. How are you going to make it steampunk though?

Hey Ricardo, thanks. Actually, I don't know, I wish I would find the design of it soon !

[daWinky]

Hi Gilles,

so this is the thread where all the spam happens...Na, just kidding, you've a really good start here:) .
I like your way of sketching with zBrush and the first concept impressions of your beast are already promising, so I'm looking forward to watch the progress.

Nice day for you,

-sabrina

[Elendil_le_Grand]

Where are you Gilles ? And your Gevaudan's beast ?

[Lemog]

Gilles was eaten by the beast... poor friend :shrug:

[scootermaya]

Yes, maybe! :p

http://michel.cavro.free.fr/mayalounge/celeryB.jpg

[paperclip]

OMG! The celery ate him! :cry:

....I won't post carnivorous celery again, I promise. :blush:

[gpepper]

Sorry guys, I am here, around...
I tried to continue but motivation is not there... I am not really motivated and the amount of professionnal work takes the rest of my forces...
I don't think I will manage to do something for the moment. Let's see is something will grow later ( and this is not celery !)
I appreciate your support even if I can see that you have more consideration about vegetables than me...

see ya guys !

[Lemog]

Hey buddy, I saw your PiouPiou of the ParisFX Catalogue...

he's always very good and especially very funny !
