Hello Greg. Good start!

This is a bit of topic but I just had to go and check when I looked at your avatar character.

And yes it is definitely the same person. This is the world famous (in Norway that is) movie critic Pål Bang-Hansen. :applause:

wow ... I can imagine how much work will be for all of those details ...

nice sketch ... good luck man :)

[anandpg]

Hi Greg! Great start!:thumbsup: eager to see the progress on this one!!

[gjpetch]

Thanks guys!

Try, actually thats just a coincidence, the face in my avatar was from my imagination.
maxspider3000, I'm imagining some pretty elaborate details, I think my chances of finishing aren't good...... but its all for fun.

A little bit more polish.

[EoinCannon]

That's a really cool concept and it gives you heaps of room really experiment with stuff.
I like the composition too, really dramatic
I look forward to seeing what you come out with.

Hello Greg,
I checked out your other posts on cgsociety, and their quit inspiring. It will be fun to watch your progress. Best of luck.

[mccg]

very nice concept!
looking forward for updates.

[collings]

great to see you enter the challenge :) the image you did for the MachineFlesh was just amazing. So really looking forward to see you in action here :arteest:

[RicoD]

Very cool Sphinx Greg! I'm looking forward to seeing what you'll do with it. Good luck!

[angel]

Oh man this is gonna be one badass image, I can see it already:cool:

[Intervain]

a great concept Greg - looking forward to the development :)

[niva]

Looking good, I like the concept.

The face looks like a mask right now connected to machine. I'm not sure if you mean to do all machine or part organic but if organic is going to be part of this make sure you do the head well.

I would also increase the contrast. Hope this helps.

nice sketch, good luck

Thanks niva, yeah, I did mean the face to be metal, I want it to be a decorative robot, like an elaborate piece of armor.
I won't really have time to work on this for at least a couple of weeks though, not sure if I'll actually be able to finish this one.

[Cyberone]

thats looking really sweet so far :)

colour sphinx concept

Awesome to see you enter Greg, hoping to see some cool stuff coming out of your head.
Are you doing this piece in 3d? If so I hope you don't mind if I suggest you try a more cinematic camera angle or composition. Possibly lower down and with less open space around to emphasize the scale of this monster?
Great detail though, looking forward to seeing more.

[monsitj]

oh! my favourite artist join the challenge! I think your final product will be 3d??
I' m sure it will be s u p er awesome!
good luck!

[nadeem-3d]

intersting
looking forward for 3d

[Mercuralis]

It looks really cool and beautiful, but I keep getting caught on the arch of her back. With her forelegs as long as they are, she'd be sort of saddlebacked when she stood up fully, wouldn't she?

I can't help but think her back would look better, and more natural if it had a gentler curve into the lower body--but that's just my opion.

Love the design of her shoulder plates. I keep going back and looking at those and smiling. :D

[Jassar]

If that's the sketch then I wonder how the final piece would be!!!
I'll watch in silence and learn from the masters :)

Quite right Mercuralis, I think this shorter version is a bit better, and I might tone down the curve when (if?) I go into 3d.

[Multiductus]

Cool work, gjpetch!
the details are outstanding ;)

[Multiductus]

mmm... the thigh looks a little too short in the last version... I'll insert an image to explain what i mean:
