CgTalk Daily Sketch 839 NO TIME LIMIT "Frankenstein's Castle" NEW RULES!

#2

Is there any chance someone could post a little synopsis about the castle described in the Book? Of course we can take our own path on it… but it would be nice to have the ‘official’ description as a starting point. :slight_smile: . Im gona be busy on this all night! LOL.

#3

this is pretty much the gist of it:

#4

ok, looks like I’m the first…

aproximately 1:45h in photoshop, including the time for making THIS photo-collage with some pictures I took this summer (from Krakow mainly, some other places too)… it was a great help, as I suck at drawing architecture and buildings…

maybe I should spend more time adding details…and I don’t like the trees much, but that’s it for today

#5

hope you enjoy this :slight_smile:

its more comic style concept art

1,5h correl wacom

#6

EToby - cant see your image?

#7

Tried to make something believable yet fantastic.
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:
