EToby - cant see your image?

#7

2 hours. Photoshop.

#8


great work here
mine : 35min / PhotoshopCs2

#9

about 2 hours, photoshop and tablet

#10

if i get to do the 1 week modeling contest for frankenstein’s castle, im DEFINITELY using this one for the concept…

#11

1.5 Hrs in photoshop. Used 6 different photo resorces. and painted them all together, and changed all the lighting to night. Ill post the ref photos later. It may look too dark on some monitors… low-key is always a pain to do digitally.

#12

Waoo, great ambiant Codenothing, composition is good, and village is really well made.

#13

boo.

here's my concept - some good old-fashioned melodrama. 3hrs PS, original res about 2200x1800.

codenothing- great work!

#14

Great stuff, guys. :slight_smile: I wanna try a different castle style. It’s actually just a very big screw. About 40-45 minutes. I’m too lazy to continue.:sad:

A monochromatic version

#15

awesome design, pipichu

#16

hmmm, quite happy with it, but its kinda uninspired… :shrug:
About 4.5 hours, Photoshop, Intuos 3

Another half an hour.
Don’t know if its better with or without the bridge.
I think with the bridge in front, the feel for the deep cliffs gets lost somehow…

not sure if this will help anyone but Geneva Switzerland is the town where all this took place in the Mary Shelly version, found some information about it

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geneva%2C_Switzerland

I also googled some images for you:

first ones a bit to large to post in the thread so heres the link [sorry i was lazy and didnt want to resize]

audit - brilliant! totally captures the castle in my mind

pipichu - I love yours as well - very different but still seems perfect for Frankenstein!

#19

codenothing, I can’t see yours, and all I know is that it must be something worth to see!
…on the other hand I CAN see EToby’s…

EToby - a bit messy IMO, maybe if you had used thinner lines it would read more easily… but I liked the amount of details, the 1816 calendar is a nice touch, hehe…

Mats Gustaffson - did you use the photo of a building underneath? it looks very good, a bit like a factory, and it plays well…

Deevad - great shadows, great colors…

rapture - good job, it’s kind of new to see the castle in the sunlight… as a crit, the lack of windows/details make it look a bit like a sand castle

audit - WOW, and WOW again, amazing work :drool:

pipichu - great idea, and great details :thumbsup:

Vyse-soa - very intelligent use of that tiled texture… I’m still not very sure how exactly did you do that…

#20

Great concepts so far guys. I liked mitchelhunt´s and audit´s concepts a lot.
I never entered any chalenge here, I´ll check the sign up thread when it´s up so I can find partners and engage some phase of the projects.

#21

no more takers? I’d love to see more :slight_smile:

#22

I like this one the best! it could some long entry and “driveway” into a court yard but i love it! I think i’m going to use this for a refernce! if you could do more detail that would help a ton when it come to modeling this sucker!

#23

hey thanks a lot yencaray!!! :slight_smile: I just checked your last modelling challenge entry, you’re really good with it!

Have you seen the photo composition I based my drawing on? it’s HERE, if you want more details I could also send you the original photos…
and also…I was so happy with your post that I did a crappy map of how I had imagined it: MAP
what I drew was supposed to be the back of the castle, with the gate being in the other side, but hey, if you base your entry in mine you are free to do as you want, (or even change it completely)!

I will follow your work if you continue with this idea, you can PM me if you want anything else…

#24

I will be announcing the hardcore modelling forum the rules soon.

If you want your sketch to be used in the modeling mini challenge, you have until Sunday.

elmasfeo - That would be awesome! that would be alot of help! Thanks for showing me what you based it off and that map! i’m getting a really good view in my head and have some ideas for modeling it already! That makes more sence now knowing that! maybe i can change this view and add a entry and road way to the castle! maybe put a whole in the left side of the wall there where the roadway leads out from so you actually enter the caste from below! i’m thinking thats what i’ll do for an entry way. i dunno though. Thanks for the help! you’re awesome! i’m glad you say that! no one voted for me in the entry but oh well there were some very good people that i knew i wouldn’t stand up against!
