This is the Hall of Souls, called GUF.

I like to create a Steampunk " Hall of Souls" where a Giant Guardian Steampunk Robot is searching the little Kids Soul.

This is an Idea i figured out today.
Why not let the child get trough dangerous situations while he is searching for his Soul.

This is still Concept/ Visualisation.
I am faster using 3D than a Pencil, bringing my ideas to life.

This is a wip preview of the monsters arm modeling.
No Texture, just a quick render to see how much detail i need to create.

Hi there Steampunk Contestants,

My next goal is to create groups for all elements.

I will give them names and colors, so its easier to differentiate between the groups.

There will be the Platform, the steamtank on the left, the Soulcontainer on the right.
The soulcontainer behind the steamtanks.
The bridges in the mid.
the big steamtank in the mid.
The monster on top the big steamtank.
The Soulcontainers in the mid right.
The Background( witch is 2D)
The robot and the Kid.

Then i render all these groups out in full size and make a quick composit in Photoshop.
So i can see what works and what´s not.

Comments and critique would be appreciated.

I wish all Steampunk M&L Contestants good luck and a lot´s of fun.

This perspective works better for me.

I would liked to have the CGTalk community involed to help me decide whats cool and whats not but i had to choose this by my self cause there was no internet availible for me during christmas ;-)

Its getting better i think...

What worrys me is the empty part on the lower right.
Maybe i will put some working spiders which transport tools around?

Maybe a third tentacle that will come from the right to fill the empty space

The Hall of Souls

The story is about a little child on the Quest for its Soul.
The Repairbot is leading the little child to the next deeper stage in the Hall of Souls where a Soulguardian will take over the journey.

It is also no dangerous place where the child is, even if its looks like it.

Hey, great picture!

a little amount of steam to emphazise the atmosphere and its perfect ^^

bye e

[johnstrieder]

[djart73]

@ johnstrieder, thank you very much ;-)

Because of the new Deadline i reworked the Picture and added more depth to it so the focus is more on the charakters.
I also turned it a bit darker and worked on the contrast.
Hopefully i done the thing ;-)

Textures used from CGtextures.

A big THX to my girlfriend, to bea, to Boso and to "joe ;-)"

[cpt-elektro]

hey,

great improvement!

[MartinNielsen]

Nice work :thumbsup: This ended up looking pretty good in the end. Personally I would make the three red eyes glow and illuminate the scene a bit more.

[djart73]

@cpt-elektro, thx again ;-)
@MartinNielsen, thx for your comment, i tried several versions of glowing lights but this one worked best for me.
But maybe next challenge ;-)

Nice work, very creepy (in a good way) and a gloomy atmosphere! Great!

Greetings and good luck,
Vem

[celke]

Very impressive! I like the contrast: early 20th century-style child meets the future.

good luck

celke

[djart73]

Thank you for your nice kind of words, Vem and celke ;-)
