hey man, I like the latest update on the invoker head, good progress you made on her so far, 1 quick thing tho, I see you post a ton on the summary thread, I am pretty sure that thread is there for 1 post or maybe 2 if you had a drastic change of the such so people can browse and go to the threads to make comments. On the last page I see you posted a few times, once or twice is enough for people to gain the interest and come over to comment that way other people on the forums work does not get lost in the thread. I really am not trying to come off as a jerk and such just voicing my opinion thats all. Good luck with your character and her pet in the rest of the contest!

Gregory J Strangis: Hi there, yeah your so right, I’m sorry I guess I got taken away by the emotion and thrill of it all, I guess it’s a little typical when something is new for you. So point taken, thanks you for mentioning it and I try keeping my over enthusiastic attitude under check. All the best bro!

Hey Daniel,

Really cool updates my friend. Like a lot the option B for Florence, really great expression on her :smiley: The key hole is a very original touch ! Hope to see some sketches with the Florence “B” concept. Like the new realistic direction of your concept and agree with Simon, the faces for the pet looks a bit cartoony and not match with florence design (Cartoon style is out of law, only for wacky pencil sharpeners like me hahahahaha :D) Again, cool work ! Cheers!! :beer:
(Toda una mina la Florencia “B”, tiene mucho potencial para un excelente concepto, a darle duro que queda poco tiempo :))

Hola Daniel,

Very nice stuff. You have a lot of good sketches here.:slight_smile: :thumbsup:
I like the option B Body and face.
Keep it up:beer:

#87

Looking good mate!

I like option A from the face sheets the best.

Great progress Daniel, it’s getting better with every step!
The new design on the girl is pretty cool. I would stick to option A , cuz B is to wild and turbolent in my opinion. She is a nice contrast to the beast.
It’s very original what you came up with in the last updates, I thiink! Keep it up! And don’t get lost in the rendering as on the beast, try to keep it simple and focus on the design … but maybe I should do it myself before I recommend it to others :smiley:

(p.s.: Jak, Jake, Jack,… It doesn’t really matter ;D)

Hola Daniel, your painting skills are evolving rapidly. If you dont mind, I have a few suggestions for you…

First, I think that the design of Florence is good and you may even consider using her as the only character in your entry. She has the mystery and mysticism necesary to stand on her own without the need of a pet.

If, however, you want to keep the pet, there are a few thing you should keep in mind.
I think the best part of having these two characters in one piece is that you can portray an interesting contrast between a sweet little girl and a fierce werewolf-like beast. In such case, i’d think that keeping Florence simple would be wise, maybe just a plain white robe, so that all the attention goes to her face and emotion.

As I’ve told you before, I love the keywhole in her head as a design element, but storywise it may be confusing if she was holding the keys to her own brain (:curious:?). Putting the keyhole on the beast, on the other hand, would be a solid storytelling devise, cause it tells the viewer who is master and who is servant. In that case, the key would act as a magical summoning “weapon”.

Finally, if you decide the keep both characters, it would be interesting to play with the idea that Florence is a sweet and inocent child capable of amazing summoning powers. With that in mind, it probably would be best to steer clear from any hint of sexuality in her and try to make her look inocent and pure (hmmm, mostrando menos carne che).

These are only just suggestions, it’s completely up to you to make the choices that best match the idea on your head. Best of luck and keep it coming!

Damn dainel! your creatures are coming along nicely.

but i do agree with gerardo that its best to stay away from making her to sexual looking if what you want to portrait is youth and innocence :smiley: if she was a little taller i’d say she was hot :blush:

gets carried away by the FBI

I feel the progress on the design is in big part thanks to you guys who have made me push and now that I got the hag of it, I don’t what to stop
ha! And the rendering is all your fault as well, when I saw your work I was like god I’ve got to get my act together. Anyhow all the best man, I’ll have the mold sheet ready tomorrow and I’ll appreciate your counsel regarding 2 questions I’m going to have. Keep it up amigaso, see you soon :beer:

Florence and Mizgrif:
the story
She was found dying, by a wizard, after her mom tried to save her from a wave of child slaughter that demons were caring out to avoid the prophesy of the child prophet being fulfilled. The wizard raised and thought her all he could before his death. Her master gave her 2 gifts before passing on to the unseen world, the first was a key that was given to him for safe keeping by messengers of light, he told her to place it in the gash she had on her forehead ever since birth, the second was a mountain cat (Mixgrif). He would be the one to protect her now.
Florence had the gift of song, and after placing the key in her forehead for the first time, a song came to her, each note, every melody and in every word the power of creation was unlocked and a portion of its majesty granted to her. First it was the wind, then as her songs became more beautiful a new key appeared, one that unlocked the rage of fire, and now she has been given the knowledge to summon light and static energy in the form of lighting. This force is so great that it would rip her apart, but she noticed every time she sang her pet would grow and form large dragon like scabs on his skin, his eyes would glow with the might of his old master, then she knew he would be the one to release the full wrath of nature on the demon horde.

Gerardo: MAQUINA! I was missing your counsel, I start to feel a little lost, and I was like “che espero q aparesca el man, proque sino no se pa donde aranco¨. As always a big help and I’ve had your comments floating around my head all day. I just don’t know what to do, I posted the story to see if you could help me with that, or if it doesn’t make sense. Dose the key thing work like that? About her sensuality, hmmm
well I wanted to cause mixed feelings in the viewer, and not make what they perceive from her not so black or white. I did want to portray somewhat of a virgin purity, facing a world of darkness, perversion and death. If she’s to small it think she would seem to unintelligent or unconscious of her surrounding, no se, what to you think? I’ll be posting the mold sheet with both characters and ask two main questions. 1 if I should us the pet, 2 if I should make her more child like. I’ll see what people thing and if nothing ells I’ll change it because I trust your judgment (and you can share the success or failure
hahaha! siepre unidos). You’re the best man, the time you’ve taken to help me out is no small thing for me, all the best bro.
PS: she hablando de carne, quien me puso la idea en la cabeza? Haja, queres divertirte solo, je, bueno esta bien , déjamelo pensar, pero posta, si te parece lo cambiamos, solo quiero que veas a los dos personajes juntos, mañana

#94

If you could help me with the following questions it would be great!
1 should Florence stand alone or with the pet?
2 should Florence be more chield like and play down the sensual side?

#95

Hey mate,

  1. Definitly WITH beast… since its part of the concept, isn’t it?

  2. Yeah I would suggest that. Since the first sketches of her I thought its supposed to be a child.

…short post… but got to make some last brushstrokes and go to bed. :slight_smile:

I’m curious bout your scene! Keep it up, Daniel!

#96

man. This is coming out sweetly.

I’m wondering where people are finding the download for the dominance war logo, where’d you get it?

#97

Sergio> did you bust out, those guys are up to things far worse
getting dragged off
aaaaah, it was just my opinion
:buttrock:

#98

Jack bro, thanks for your opinion, I think I’m going to try and get back the original idea of a freak little girl, something a little more of a psychotic feel in the face. :buttrock:

Nico my man thanks for all the support, hope something good comes of it, I feel a little lost and don’t really know were to go from now, ha! Heres what you asked for http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=282&t=728088
Let it rip :beer:

#99

oooh the first one (the white one) looks awsome! Definately my fav, and yeah, playing down the sensual side is prob a good idea!

#100

Florence should definitely be with her pet, at least that’s my opinion. Bad ass pet btw. I’m stuck on the child like decision, something tells me if she is portrayed child like…it may draw people to the curiosity of character more then adult. It seems more unique that ay and tells a story better.
