Here are the first set of roughs. The God I'l illustrating is called Perun. Perun is described as a rugged man with a copper beard. He rides in a chariot pulled by a he-goat and carries a mighty axe.

I'm starting with Perun, I have some sketches of the he-goat and the chariot. I'll post them once I scan them.

so there may be some issues with this post here is a link to my blog:

Since the concepts are so small it's hard to say anything about them. Some of them sure do look interesting though. A question? He-goat, is that like a man-goat or what?

[AUMAKUA]

Interesting bunch of chaps, they can inspire lots of stories ;)

Sorry about the quality of the last ones, I updated it so it should be bigger now. here is the one I selected. I liked the idea of a Levitated head, it adds a cretin divinity to the character.

HumbleHenk - as far as a he-goat it seems to be just another name for a big goat.

thanks for looking

Wow! I love the concept of his head, really great idea. Can't wait to see more :)
Good luck

That looks great man. The levitating head is nice and the shape of the body is cool because it's not a typical hero-cake with big biceps, chest etc.

[HumbleHenk]

Coming along nicely. Lovely base design. A tip to make it more steampunk would be to add some victorian inspired ornaments, engravings and such here and there. Perhaps a few brass pipes too.

cool idea for head... looking strong.. can't wait to see more mate

[Duncs]

Love the proportions, as mentioned above, it makes a nice change from the typical 'hero' look...

I think there's enough of a victorian look without the addition of the vest - and it would be a shame to hide all those lovely gears ;)

Looking forward to seeing how this one progresses

[DimitrisLiatsos]

That is some really neat idea...it would be cool to animate the guy...a head that detaches from shoulders and floats...hahahah..very neat! :thumbsup:

hey so I'm having issue with the CGS posting system it seems if I reply to a posting I can only link to a image and my blogger account is not liking properly.
So I'm just submitting a new entry. which may make the previous one not visible on the thread. if you want to see what i posted before I guess go to the entry page.
cheers sorry for the inconvenience.

Here are the composition thumbnails. I kinna like 1, it has a nice divine look to it but it also looks like a post card as well which I don't like. I like 5 it has the three planes happening. and it has a upper class look to it. I also like middle one though it doesn't show the goat or the chariot it has a book cover feel.

let me know what you guys think.

[Lappisch]

No. 1 or No. 3 for me. I have a bad liking for dramatic but useless and action-lacking poses. For shame.:blush:

[mrpeace]

Amazing character design buddy- I also suggest No 1 or No 3. Amazing job on all thumbnails though...I really like 'em all!

Keep it up:buttrock:

[nadiamogilev]

great progress. looking forward to the final submission

[Coldrum]

Hey mate good to see your entry :) looking pretty swish.. love those suit designs, especially the waist coat with the cog print. I think 7 with 4's pose would be nice. Man I needs to get busy!

[rodimus25]

Hey Roberto, looking great man, loving the design for your character. Think the layout for 5 is really strong:p... but thats just me:)

[AUMAKUA]

You're doing fine work indeed, I would love to make all of them 3d :thumbsup:

[lindbalk]

Strong concept sketches and striking design, I like it!

I really enjoy the thumbnail sketch marked "1", it has an overall pleasant composition and nice color play. I'm thrilled to see how this piece evolves.

the extension was a big help> I've been super busy and I was running out of time. thank you concepting gods. sorry for not posting more I'm real bad with forums. I also got real bad with not posting the work in progress of the final. Here are the first 2 I did these in 2 sitting about 2 hours each.

So in the fist one I started with the back ground and the sketch of the position I liked for Perun. In this one I worked with the lighting. reworked and re sized the goat. I also knocked it back as it was a pure white and attracted to much focus. I added a bird on the side, I wanted to give it a old painting feel. Kinna like giving it a painting that illustrates a important moment in history.

" After the winter of 1678, Perun descends the alps to usher in the steam age. Pulled by his trusty, loyal, and very old he-goat, Dimitri."

[rodimus25]

looking sweet roberto:)

[Ataulfo]

Hi Roberto,
It looks very good.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Are you going to add horns to the animal?¿ It looks great on sketches.
Keep it up, dude:beer:

Software: Photoshop

Here is the final image. I spent most of the last leg adding detail and fixing some lighting issues. Added in the goat's horns tunrs out I liked them. Aside from that just polished and polished.

Here is the link to who Perun is again on Wikipedia:

Thank everyone for the feed back and comments. Good luck to everyone.
