DWIV-nzrkiwi-Inferno_Conjuror

[nzrkiwi]

I reworked the character design, i thought that for a warlord the initial design was too weak
both body and design needed to be worked on more with a broader and stronger character.
Also considering the lava and fire element to be incorporated more into the design.

Really nice concept!:thumbsup:

[tonytrout]

Second concept is much stronger. It would be nice if you could incorporate the flame/lava/whatever more into the model otherwise it is just post effect. Maybe skin is oozing lava? Nice drawing, good luck.

PS is it 2D or 3D

[nzrkiwi]

Thanks Adib and Tonytrout it a good to get support from local cgtalk artists:)

I am looking at a different Wing position. Decided to see what the arm would look like more levitated,

With the cloud below maybe similar to a small nuclear blast but keeps it form annihilating everything in its way with ultra extreme heat. This Demon Warlord will strategicly attack the machine worlds

Just thinking on what Tonytrout mention with lava like veins on his arms and body similiar to my comic chararacter!

I was thinking of darkening the skin texture for a dark metal or coal look especially when i add lava like veins for a more explosive look. this is an example.

I am kind of leading toward 7th image with maybe 5 and 10 as other possibilies

Based on the rough thumbnail i picked i decided this will be his stance, he will summone
the fire ball or generate it from his energy source in his stomach a red crystal
like ball instead of the firy cloud, Once the fire ball is fully formed enough for
distruction he can then can launch it towards his desired target.

I decided to change the horns on his head. By making them less distracting with a more simple design giving them more size so there appear more powerful.

The wings i decided to go with a more dynamic look. Flowing and less stagnant giving a
more exciting moving look to the character.

Changes i need to make the hands more larger and fearsome loooking to match the rest of him.

Hey Brent,

Cool updates :D Like the armor for the arms, great!! Your last sketch is really nice, great pose and the new horns look really well! :D Again, great work and waiting for more updates! Cheers!! :beer:

[nzrkiwi]

Hey thanks Ferx and the same of with your updates there amazing:)


I thought i needed more of a flight posture rather than a ground posture. I needed something much dynamic so i play around with some more quick concepts and felt good
with this one. So now i can start working on the main with something i feel good with.

Hello,

I like the number 4 in your modelsheet board, looks like a spaceship :D

I really love the details in your character's head and I think you should use his wings like a kind of weapon. Maybe something like Spawn's cloak :)

Keep it up !

[nzrkiwi]

Thanks Alexy, Great idea i was thinking of adding hook like thorns to the wings so he can grapple with the wings, Thanks for that:)

I've started work on the main picture and working on the demon posture! And i see i am going to burn alot of midnight oil, like a lot of us.

[nzrkiwi]

Getting his basic form setup for now hmm the legs and feet area bit too big especially the back ones there way out of wack, well have to correct that hehe lol

http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/5307/demondesign2.jpg

[nzrkiwi]

hmm i need to bring the right wing to curve into the same perspective as body slight angle of direction!

[nzrkiwi]

I'm set on this composition with The Conjuror heavy attack force coming out of the rift and blizting a machine and cyborg world followed by lighter demon formation. His fireball emanating firey beams and destroying threatening machines. The conjuror is about to release the Fury of the fireball like a Thermonuclear Warhead! Below the machine world city
will be a in a yellow hellish apocolyptic blaze. I can start painting the fun part.

[ausrulz]

Nice Drawings. Like the wing claws idea. Is the wings his main weapon?

[nzrkiwi]

Nope his primary weapon is his Fire ball!

[nzrkiwi]

oh what emanating from the fireball is a power force thats like tentancle like lazer force
before the actual fire ball is launch it self.

[nzrkiwi]

Hopefully i have him fully renderd in 2 days.

Form starting to come. just starting to look at base color selection for the character.

[nzrkiwi]

refining body proportion,working in the background

http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/424/maindesign6.jpg

[nzrkiwi]

I've basicly got the base colours for the main character. I want to render in the background
to an extent for the lighting and values. So i can then determine secondarly lighting and color sources when i start fully render and especially detailing stages. I am still not happy
with the left extended arm so i have to fix that before going on to the next stages above.

Hi Brent! you are my buddy now!!!, your concept sheet looks fantastic. Hurry up mate! we are getting close of ending soon and i noticed a lot of people have not finished with their designs..I can't wait to see this one completed though, it looks sick man. I should be done soon though maybe another week, lol..We only have a week left i think...Damn thats fast, lol...

[nzrkiwi]

Hey thanks Peter. Yeah true time is not friendly for me at the moment:( But i think i can handle it! Your work is coming along massively keep the good work mate

[nzrkiwi]

Got the right colour values for the background now going to render it.

[nzrkiwi]

Ok everything looking ok and set right, now for the fun stuff!

[ShogunWarrior]

Hey brent,

Your character is burning everything down! He looks devasting my man.. Keep up the good work 9 days left! oh yeah, i also took your suggestion on turning the flock of birds into demons.. that was a great idea! take care for now.

[nzrkiwi]

Thanks mate, Hmm maybe he's over doing the baking hehe lol peter,

Well now its the fun work! this is here i am so far, still a long way off. But I am glad
they set it back to the 18th!

http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/9629/maindesign10.jpg

[nzrkiwi]

I don't like the tongue its to much in line with the shoulder pad trim line. and the arm is not correct so i have fix that now!

[nzrkiwi]

working on the arm for texture and effect possiblilties(Not to get carried away with effects though very careful with its usage)

http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/4229/maindesign11.jpg

[nzrkiwi]

Working on the both hands and arms hmm thinking of a texture to put on them. With the fireball I was thinking of a sun like effect but violet?

http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/381/maindesign12.jpg

[nzrkiwi]

Hmm just dabble some molten horn bits to the tips to get an idea wether it work or not and if its not too much, for myself i kinda like it though decision time add it or leave it.

http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/1143/maindesign13.jpg

[nzrkiwi]

playing around with textures on the hands and horns, The horns need alot more work to match the hands. I have to get rid of the texture striation liness going upwards on the horns they look cheap and nasty.

Reviewing composition. I enclosed the area around him framing him in a smaller viewframe by 30% this should give him a stronger dominance to the observer.

http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/2600/maindesign15.jpg

[nzrkiwi]

Adding depth to horn after detailing them, Just roughed in the molten tip on his feet and wing tips wondering if they will work?

http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/1083/maindesign16.jpg

[nzrkiwi]

Man i have been slow over the last 2 days i need to speed up. I decided to work on the background and started with the burning machine word city with the machine and cyborg sending in the heavy infantry to counter attack the conjour bliztkrieg!

http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/6768/maindesign17.jpg
