DWIV - 2d - LeFoosh - Abomination

Ahaaaa! Found you... sneaking over here for a change are ya? All above ideas sound cool, now get some pencil to paper mister so we can get some visuals!

[lefoosh]

Hi,

Well, heres my first page of thumbnails, all sort of rolled into one big fleshy mess!

I thought i'd get a few ideas out of my head and onto the page. I intend to change just about all of it, plus I want to make the style more mature as I think the 'comic-book' style its in wont be nearly as disturbing as I want this to be!

I'm thinking a single mouth is too cliche - will get to work on a big mass of tortured heads and faces next, see how that works out...

Here's a few more [very] rough thumbs:

More along the direction i was thinking. Had some great ideas off of Zephyri today concerning eye-jaws and tentacles coming out of... well places i wont be drawing... all bodyparts are gonna be from ABOVE the neck only, you saucy minx ;)

[lefoosh]

OK, here are some real thumbnails:

The design will get more detailed but this seems like a good start!

All looking good m'dear... nice to see that you've not abandoned your style either, given most entries here are of the super realism kind. I like the central thumb in that last piece, though the one above it with the straight spikes is nice too, to get a different kinda texture/ feel in there. The big toothy kraken mouth on the right is nice too, might be interesting to see lots of those all over the creature.

Hi Chris,

I'm gonna disagree with Sam and say bottom left, he kinda looks tormented and freaked out by his own existence. I'm also glad you're back to you're normal style, it should be cool to see an upbeat take on something so horrible like and abomination....all good, keep it up!

[DeadInTheAttic]

Well, this thing really resembles an artwork of Guns 'n Roses' album "Appetit for Destruction". Cool thing. And it's most difficult to create non-humanoid beings. Chapeau!

When thinking about my post, I got a similar idea to yours, though I finally stuck to human-like beings.
Ever thought about a being, which consists of many different monsters, or even got monsters, pushing from inside out? The skin of your monster will be deformed 'cause of other monsters arms and faces right beneath the skin.

[lefoosh]

Hey,

thanks for the posts. i'm gonna get my head right into this twisted mess over the weekend and see just how much of a nightmare i can get onto the page!

dead - really liking the idea of faces beneath the skin. gonna try adding that in!
sellis - yeah, couldnae cut it in any other style, gonna try to have a little fun with this instead!
Zephyri - i just haven't got the time to dedicate to something uber reaslistic like you professionals so its gonna be a little more exciting from here on. gonna mix it all up and get some more thumbnails on here soon, always value your opinion!

cheers!

working on a focal point for the piece in amongst the total chaos! I've been playing around with drawing a mouth or eye then rotating the canvas, drawing in another eye or tentacle, zooming in/ out, another tentacle, eye, mouth... just to try to make it as random and organic as possible!

more to come soon

I'm thinking this'll be my final 'pose' as all my other sketches left way too much white space with the tentacles unfolded! Plus, I like the idea that its almost fighting with itself... needs all the detail adding, as well as a good place to add in the logo.

Hey lefoosh, nice concept you've got going on here. I particulary like the one with the two mouths and eyes coming out of his tongue. My only advice would be to be careful with the caos in the character, cause otherwise the modeling sheet will be a headache. It may be wise to get that done before thinking of the final pose, so that you can have your own sketches as reference. Just my two cents.
Great work, can't wait to see how it develops!

[StrongRum]

Hey dude! I'm liking your ideas, totally mad and crazy! I actually like your first post, I like the fact that there is so much going on, it makes it fun and interesting to look at. Especially with all the different heads and mouths coming out of weird places?! Looking forward to see your idea turns out ;-)

[Nikolay]

looks very good! I will wait final pose in color. good luck)

quick sketch. this'll go in the middle of the design - still needs a center piece of the mouth and tongue / eyeball...

[Ferx]

Hey Kris,

Really cool concept, like the flesh, mouths and eyes idea on your abomination character, great :D Good luck and waiting for more updates!! Cheers!! :beer:

P.S. I opened the second page on the thread, deserve another beer!! yeaaa :D Cheers!! :beer:

I'm thinking that, with a few tweaks, this will be my final pose. Model sheeting is gonna be fun but this is meant to be a challenge!

Ferx - woohoo! Second page, baby!
Nikolay - colour begins next week. im thinking pale flesh for the 'body' and different colours for the three tentacles - orange, pink and purple...?
Kavi - mad and crazy's what you get when you're locked in a room all day!
GaeasHerald - thanks for the pointer, i'm going to splash some colour around and finalise the overall detail then get the model sheet sorted out.
Z / Sell - any thoughts? could use your expert opinion on the overall composition...?

Cheers all, will be posting your way shortly!
