Yeeh, thx guys for the warm welcom,sure feels good to be here with you guys again!
Well, the thing is that I've always been, and I still am mad about myths & legends.
I f***ing adore it in fact!:D
Through different parts of the world and differents cultures this is an endless source of inspiration.
So took out my books and now I'm really hesitating haha!
I'll proberly go in a direction that's related with the tree of life that's present in several ancient cultures.
Personaly I feel Yggdrasil(from the nordic mythologies) the best.
His roots are gnawed by huge snakes and his leaves and trunk are attacked by several monsters and creatures each and every day.
A Squirrel named Ratatosk had the task to forward the messages from the summit to the roots of the tree.
I like this Squirrel against big bad monsters idea.
He often had to face huge dangers!!
Whaahaaa, poor Squirrel!!
I got to give him some kinda steamy engine with big guns or so to defend himself while he goes up & down forwarding the gods messages inside this tree.
(maybe a tree made of metal)etc,something like that.
I'll tune the story a bit.
An Other idea I had was a myth I invented about humans that at least & fortunatly find a dragon.Finaly their existence has been proved!!!(I'm secretly still waiting for this to happen for real:D)
The dragon is captured & frozen inside a huge iceberg with all kinda strange ancient runes and rests of an ancient civilisation all around it..A huge steammachine is needed for the ice not too melt.A machine this big that a town where most of the scientists life was build on it.
All around the iceberg are little icebergs containing the dragon eggs.
This huge dragon inside a iceberg with his eggs posed in a nice clean circle all around him...is this just a coincidence?...
Just brainstorming:D,Got my head steamin & punkin...
Hej Remko,
I love your dragon idea, can picture it in my mind beautifully. It has great visual potential...
Well, as always, looking forward for what you will come with :D
mdavid
11-13-2008, 09:25 PM
Hey Remko, it's great to see you in this. Your ideas are excellent. I was especially intrigued by your dragon idea. But whatever you go with I have no doubt this is going to be a fantastic thread to keep an eye on
MartinNielsen
11-13-2008, 11:00 PM
I think the squirrel idea sounds very funny :) Ice is not a bad idea either. I use a lot of it ;)

good looking character designs. very nice contrast between the image above and the one below. i like the semi-dissolve effect, but have you try to see how it looks with a slightly diagonal instead of a horizontal. just a thought. good work can't wait seeing your progress.

Thanks everyone for your comments!
I'll do a scene of the Hindu epic "Râmâyana".
Love it!!!
One moment, the hero "Rama" got to deliver a princess named Sita.
He got the help of Hanuman, the monkey god that was leading a monkey army to fight the demon King Ravana by his side.
Often Ravana was depicted with many faces & arms.
Ravana" is in compagny of the "Rakshasas": Demon shapechangers, they can assume various physical forms. As illusionists, they are capable of creating appearances which are real to those who believe in them or who fail to dispel them. Rakshasas are cannibals, and make their gleeful appearance when the slaughter on the battlefield is at its worst.
I would like to try the part where Rama, Hanuman and his steamy monkey army meet up with Ravana and his Rakshasas.
Steamhindu epic battle.:-)
Character concepts for Ravana and Hanuman I did today.
lovely characters you got there. cant wait for more!

11-18-2008, 01:51 AM

Wow, Ramayana!!! And a battle of epic characters! This is the idea I like the best so far, even better then the dragon idea.
Wonderful concepts, specially of Hanuman, even though I have imagined him quite different.

Hello Remko,
Amazing skills my friend! You should post some tutorials on color theory. This is hard to critique. I'm just going to wait until you mess up then I'll through my two cents in.LOL
For some reason I don't see that happening. I love How ornate the Gorrila is, very pleasing on the eyes. Can't wait to see more, very inspiring.
Best wishes,

Kept on developping my idea of Ravana and his Rakshasas against Rama, Hamuman and his monkey army.
Some sandwich doodles.Hope they're understandable :D.
I'll be doing a lot more of research on the different apes & Monkeys inside the monkeyarmy.So fun!
Some of them will be flying,sitting in helicopter barok chairs:-)
I'll try to do some kinda 1800-1900 gentleman like Rakshasas.

I like the concept on the extreme right (with ravana, hanuman and the floating heads). It would be really cool set in a forest draped about with spanish moss and little skulls littering the ground. :D

Think a mix of an epic image with funny touches (like the monkeys) can work well for your concept :)

Can't go wrong with monkeys! I'm liking the machinery in the scene.
Whether you're looking for dark or comical is really on what mood you want to set. I mean, I wouldn't mind seeing some steam powered monkey fist gadgets and some wacky gizmo's to use for weapons. Personally, I think that fits rather well for a monkey army :P
Daxtor
11-21-2008, 08:59 PM
Hey Okmer, nice work so far! I really admire your style.
I can understand your dilemma with choosing it dark or humorous, both could come out so nicely. Perhaps a golden middleway with the two?
(And, hooray for monkaays! ;) )

11-21-2008, 10:17 PM
okmer you are a machine!
what can i say? i guess youd hit both themes perfectly
by the look of that ww1 baboon with the helmet on id like to see it go into the dark side.
that way they get to show their vicious teeth. im unsure if they are actually able to smile.
the skyforces chopperseat is already looking perfect and really intricate! and that at concept stage. i love your work & bookmarked

i don't read all post , sorry if I'm misunderstood,
I think Hanuman is a king of monkey ,there are different
monkey king tale spread over asian myth but they share the same point ..which is
hanuman is the king and in chinese tale , his army are spawn from his single fur ,
so my point is , maybe you can make the big monkey with extreme complex design
to make it different from the whole army , or .... maybe you plan to .....
sorry for broken eng....hehe but I see a lot of potential in your entry ,
and that make me want to quit this challenge lololol:blush:

Hello Remko. really inspiring work this!
About the way to go....
"boxingglove pop-out systems" is always the right way to go.
No matter what the other option is.:wise:
cant wait to see how this turn out!

damn, dude! Oozing of creativity already! :D Keep rocking, love that monkey character!
Those last concepts are so cool, I can't stop laughing dude :bounce:
I also like it that you have on one side an Indian influenced style vs the last, more European influenced style. Cool.
Now that's a chopper!
Go for the humorous approach (it's all in you!)

Wow, those last two sketches are dynamite!
Definitely go humorous imo...
I'm kind of tired to see serious violent action in steampunk. It was done so many times
(it can still look cool though).
A humorous approach would bring fresh air into it.
And I'd love to see what you'll come up with. But I'm sure you do great no matter what
direction you choose.

Interrestings those last sketchs, and I'm still curious of what will be your WIP on the final illustration. Keep doing great stuff ! :thumbsup:

Whoooaaaaa! I love absolutely everything in this thread! Ur early sketches of compositions and than those monkey concepts.. mind blowing. Having fun just cruzing thru pages and guessing whats next, hehe.. Since monkeys looks quite funny (in general and in ur sketches) I'd go with the funny style, but still leave th theme serious. I know that may sounds very confusing, so I would give a sample of Svetlin Velinovs Tavern Brawl -->

Hi Remko,
your sketches are really amazing, I guess I'm not the first one to tell you this:D ...
Especially your character design is fantastic, you give them life and personality wich a few strokes!
I see that you've picked an epic and colorful theme, so I'm looking forward to see your progress here and I'm really pleased to see that the last character is more on the funny side. I want to see more!:bounce:
Have a nice day,

Hey Remko,
still going strong I see! Hamumans' airforce looks slick too! Keep those concepts coming ;) I think the whole steampowered monkeys go well with funny, but if you make it gritty I guess making it serious and dark would go equally well. In the end, go with your gut feeling.
fantastic work. you are a great inspiration.

Remko, that last page of studies is just beautiful. Such a presence in the character, and such economy of painting. Yes, we really need to live this world.
I've been looking at Victorian Dentist chairs on the web. I love that little chair of yours.
Could have had a whole challenge to design a steampunk chair: some really nice ones around ;) .
