Dominance War V - 3D - KingstonZ - God of Authority

[KingstonZ]

this direction is more toward the dragon concept:
trying to make him transformable to 3 mode: god mode, dragon mode and war machine mode.( not confirm yet.)

comments and feedback are most welcome.

[Zoox]

really love the look of that top left sketch of its head!! :buttrock: also like the idea of it changing form.

[four-leaf]

cool~!! great concept

[lorez]

good to see you back for the main even ,
looking forward to your entry.your warm up was awsome.
i love the idea of the transforming. if you could pull that off. it would be godlike!
if you only go with doing 1 mode, i like V2 of standing mode.nice silhouette.

[harlequin02]

my arch-villain finally decided to appear ! great thumbnail ! no comment for it yet, but just what i come in mind, how you gonna show all three of them ?

[KingstonZ]

Thanks for the comments and feedback guys,
Zoox- Thanks you like it, i have added some more details for the head in my new concept.
four-leaf- Thanks you like it.
lorez- good to see you here too, thanks for the info since the pre-war.
harlequin02- hi friend, is still in design stage , so i will try all possibility to get a good design, i may or may not do the transformation depends on my work seclude. why u call me arch-villain??.. lol

I m a bit busy at my job and working on this character, will go look at everyone's thread and comments when i m have time.. below is the final design of one mode.. i call it the - warfare tank mode.

try to make his head to be the missile launcher like a tank in this mode.. added more details for the head design, some hair at the back of his head as a power charge form thunder and lighting to make him more god like.... hope you like it... comments and feedback welcome.

i have finalized my concept (finally), spend too long to figure out the concept of of his different mode.below are some of his movement study, mechanism and proportion study.
research some refs today and will start to work on the 3d modeling.

Movement, mechanism study

Finalize the god mode's proportion

[KingstonZ]

The more i look at the concept i did for the last post, i didn't have the feeling of a very special and powerful god, i go back to work on the concept a little more, and i have re-look at the 1st concept i have with the girl and machine:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v233/kingston/Thumbnails_03bweb1.jpg

i tried to maintain the original idea combining with the girl god idea, and i think it works much better for me now, below are some of the concepts:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v233/kingston/Thumbnails_03bweb.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v233/kingston/Thumbnails_03bweb2.jpg

i knew that i should work on the 3d as soon as i can ( I already started with the dragon model)... but if the concept don't work for me, i just don't feel great to continuous with the model. this is the final concept, i like it and i will have to race with time to finish it now.

Comment are all welcome.

[harlequin02]

u ask me why i called you arch-villain ?! your concept is just . . . let say awesomely "inhuman", that's why.
well here's my input.:
-your dragon head is well place on the girl's head, i think i can suggest you to model a tail, so it gonna be like a "female agile Godzilla !" besides it might be also a support for your heavy dragon head for your female character, and also you might be able to design an awesome spine for it ?

-and that gun, i really gonna avoid that kinda a gun, instead a gun, maybe a "Godzilla knuckle !" on the left hand or maybe both gonna look awesome, so it also show a strength to your character ?

[KingstonZ]

harlequin02 (http://forums.cgsociety.org/member.php?u=419721) - Great suggestion for the tail .. will really go think about that. thanks...cool.
but i will still use the gun, there is a main reason for that big gun.... actually thats the whole idea of this god. if you look at that 1st concept silhouette you will know... hehe.

below are my update of the 3d blocking.. still super rough, focus more on the silhouette and the overall feel.. 2 days didn't really sleep. i have to move much fasterrrrrrrrrr! ! !

[harlequin02]

that was fast ! I wonder how it gonna looked like in details.

[Velkin]

Looks pretty cool. :thumbsup:

[KingstonZ]

Update for today, adding alittle more details for the helmet.and designing the back pack.... http://kingstoncg.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/a1.jpg

show more of her face. the beauty of girl.. and try to make her more god like kind of features.
http://kingstoncg.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/a.jpg

This is for myself to check if my concept really works.. not gona use this dragon head in the final, but knowing the helmet really able to transform in 3d make me feel good.

http://kingstoncg.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/a2.jpg


http://kingstoncg.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/helmet.25.gif

Don't know why i still wasting time to try transform her helmet,... but is fun.. hehe
i think she will look cooler in the 1st mode with some part of face covered, but wanted to show her full face in the final.. and try to see if the dragon idea will work.did some simple animation to see if it will work...

http://kingstoncg.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/helmet.24.gif

now gona use time wisely... detail details details!

Guys, thanks for all the comments... i will sure visit your post soon.

[Kirmu]

nice, hope to see it rigged soon :)

[Beneto]

Those are all awesome sketches/ silhouettes.

The 3D part seems to go along nicely too. I really like that helmet design and animation.

Keep it up, I am looking forward to see more!

[harlequin02]

it all good, but its just one thing that i realize from your dragon head design, it's a male dragon look, is it intended to show the character strength ? for i suggest that make it more female dragon look ?

[Velkin]

it all good, but its just one thing that i realize from your dragon head design, it's a male dragon look, is it intended to show the character strength ? for i suggest that make it more female dragon look ?

Hm... I rather think, that male dragon is more apropriate somehow. Just an opinion :)

[harlequin02]

well my argument is when her helmet going full face, it's a male dragon head with a sexy female body. hmmm. . .

[KingstonZ]

this is the most interesting comments i ever heard, seriously i cant even different shape a male or female dog or tiger by just their head ( i guess all types of animal except lion ), dragon i guess is closer to crocodile or dinosaur , and how to make a crocodile or dinosaur looks female, with only a the mechanical helmet?( of cause is without adding eyelashes or makeup like cartoon ) The only female dragon i ever seen was at Sherk, the donkey's wife.... but i will definitely don't want to go for that. By the way, how you actually know the different between a male and female dragon?? . hehehe..interesting topic.

anyway, this helmet is still in wip... is a low-res model with no texture, the final will be in zbrush .. i already have some color idea in the textures to match the girl.

thanks all for the feedback, i m still working on the back pack now.. will update soon.

[Jae-Keum]

the way her head transformed looks really cool. nice concept.

[Midost]

Looking great! The head piece is really amazing.

[ZenArc]

wohh loving the dragon head! cant wait to see the final product !

[harlequin02]

female dragon huh ? well she show less teeth, less aggressive look , more curve ? and overall less profile. i think. . .

[KCassidy]

Yes! Love the helm design! Concepts were all sweet too. Looking forward to updates.

[harlequin02]

I DEMAND UPDATE ! lol !

[KingstonZ]

It looks amazing so far, Kingston. I find it so awesome that all of the machinery actually works and transforms. The detail is crazy too.

Really hope you can make the deadline !! Go go go!

[Mister-G]

Hey Kingston the zbrush details look great!! will there be any part that will be glowing? something like tron but not too much may make the finished work more cyberpunk.

Almost there man, good luck! :)
