                     once the Dominance battle is over and winner is announce, depending on its ranking in this battle(lower than rank 50 would automatically mean the prince has been defeated), the Prince will go through the process of Metamorphosis( example would be a worm to cocoon to butterfly) appearance would drastically change depending on its experience in the battle.
                     
                     [b]non-combat mode( need a better name for this)- [/b]whence it rests, watch and rule over the hordes of demon, it will still like a stone statue, even its skins are as harden as Orihalcon. its movement is slow, speech rate is also reduce; but each word it will speak is to the wise.
                     
                     
                     [b]Provoke mode::(description too cheesy, will need to rewrite this, haha)-[/b] restless spirit that rages, wild with infinite power of destruction like a cantaloupe; depending on its ranking in the dominance war, its ability changes.

updates on what i have so far.

i think i am able to start clearing up the idea a bit more now, i’ll have concept post up a tad bit later.

question regarding the demon/prince side

do we know if demon prince are allow to wear armors like norms? i do understand that weapons are summonish, i think o.O

cuz from reading this, it sounds like aside from using elemental powers instead of magical powers, as well as extra wings/limbs/tails/horns, demon princes are similar to norms, so i assume that they can wear armors… like norms.

if this question has been answered else-where, please don’t mind pointing me to the FAQ.

thanks in advance for the clarification. ^^;;

characteristic quote directly from dominance war 4::

Demon Prince
Demon Princes are human sized demons with human-like or alien-like characteristics. If not for a few demon-like body traits (bat wings, horns, tail etc), they could easily pass for a natural intelligent human, alien, elf etc of that kind. Demon Princes, like Demon Lords, can manipulate their inborn fusion of power.

cheers.


#3

I don’t see why you couldn’t use armor on a demon prince, as I understand it; armor is simply a design/uniform element, not necessarily a power source or of summoning sort, etc. I don’t think it specifies in the restrictions either… (I’m only guessing)…


#4

hiya Robottank, thanks for clarifying the thoughts on the armor restriction, i am also guessing along the same line as your theory. so without further a due, here are some updates on what i have so far.

“The world will not change until Hell freezes over”

a short sentence of how i will be going about this concept

Side:: Demon_Prince
Element:: Ice/cold
emphasis on:: power and fear

i think the approach for this concept will be a bit backward, i will be developing the illustration till i am clear on what the demon will look like, then afterward i will be making the creature sheet with all the changes. and later making another illustration to create a more dynamic camera angle perhaps.

" the chill is closing in, what little defenses left has been iceberg"

the demon is closing in the defense wall of a city, slowly it walks. Screeching sounds from the ice, drawn frustration ever closer to the end of time, be it friend or foes.

challenges in the background later on::
ice wall with bodies, lights refracting, indirect lighting, making all of that believable will be difficult >.< but its gonna be some awesome experience for me, anyone have thoughts and or experience in painting ice, please don’t hold back your suggesting on how i may tackle this, thx ^^

style::
how do you guys go about style change?often, infrequent, or rarely notice?

cheers,

Hey Pui,
Good to see your start. Can’t wait to see what you’ll come up with.
-Tyler


#6

very interesting approach… i`ll keep an eye on your thread
good luck


#7

Excellent! Many ideas came out when i was watching your concept. Can’t wait to see more from u. Good luck!!!


#8

I love the choice of colours and the general feel to this, very organic and creepy, like it’s decaying or something.

:buttrock:


#9

Hey Pui,

Really nice approach, like the color palette :smiley: Looking really good. All the best and waiting for more updates! Cheers!!


#10

nice start :smiley: i believe its going to turn on to be a good concetp


#11

wow, great start! I really like the palette and the textures you’ve used- seems like it could get really gory, like a winged, demon abomination of sorts…

I’m looking forward to seeing where you go with this!


#12

Hey Pui! Its been a while. Nice to see your joining the war also. I too am entering [3D catagory].

Can’t wait to see what you grow this into.

…Good Luck. :wink:


#13

 here is what i have thus far, close up on what i am focusing on atm.
 
 Thanks for everyone's Support.
 
 at my current progress i am fairly confident in what i want for the wing, and the two arms, i have been constantly flash with possible possibilities/impossibilities of what the creature would look like from all angles but i would have to keep you guys waiting, the suspense is killing me too, as it takes a great deal of focus to chart out what the matrix are pouring out!
 
 its only been the third day and already 5 pages of entries, go cgtalk go! bring home the trophy(ies)! ^^
 
 cheers

Hi Franky! great to see your entering this battle as well, how have you been ^^. with Tyler and you here, this is gonna be a fun ride. i’ll be sure to look up you two’s progress when i am on my rounds, anymore ILIS people here? hehe =D

Progress:: fairly clear now on what i want the environment to look like; a giant door that is frozen by the demon with his hand purging into the iceberg, slowly he closes the enemies’ door, trapping all those that are living soon into non-living and those that are non-living soon to a more erm… non-non-living? ^^;;

dilemma:: not sure what the head will look like just yet, gonna think on that a bit.

Tackleness:: once again, the process for generating this concept is gonna be a bit backward compare to many of the concept artists here ^^, as Illustration is more of my strong point, while i am a bit on the weak end of doing concept drawins. But have no fear, i will certainly tackle the modeling sheet with clear definitions… later on ^^.

Forum Logo:: the position of our prestige cgtalk will be place on the upper level of the right shoulder, as well as on the necklace, don’t worry, i will be sure to add in the logos, i hope… unless fiddle bender kicks in.

You guys should check out the Cgtalk.ru and Cgland.com’s Dominance War progress too, those guys are crazy with ideas, not to say that we got’ non eitha! ^_-

Hey Pui,
Your concept beginning is SO great, I like the colours and the composition.
Thanks for your words (and help…) with my Small Town Invasion piece.
I´ll keep an eye on this thread to see your next promising updates.
Cheers


#16

hi puiart

i really love ur aesthetic i dont know what it is yet but like it, it looks very dynamic.


#17

I’m going to watch your thread. I love your organic painting style…so much texture and the color choice is striking. I like the reversed work flow approach. Even at this early stage this looks like it will be a strong contender.

Updates thus far:: Mar 22, 09

Front View

moonShake:: hiya, glad to hear from ya and thanks for your support. wont you be able to join us on this war still? but if your work schedule is a bit hectic, i can understand, still, i would really wanna see what crazy stuff you come up with for Dominance War IV. nevertheless i will work extra hard to include your support in this war ^^.

mporter:: hi hi mporter, glad to hear from ya, the initial thoughts in approaching this project was that i want to learn as much as possible, and develop more branches of “flair” to my developing/studying style, so i wanna try throwing in some various shapes and lightning, glad you like it and i will further make it more “cooler” by the end result ^^.

Segvoia:: thank you very much for your Support, Segvoia. various degrees of effects and approaches to this concept i took studies from the previous dominance war. i visited many of the DW 3 champions thread and found their work quite interesting, and those were definitely magnificent work of art; considering the depths and levels of details they when through to create their piece. i will do my best to meet that standard and intend to exceed it should i wish to improve; we all will certainly be able to yield quite large amount of experience as a result of, duration of, and process of this world-wide event.

Updates:: various treatments where painted in to the illustration to get closer to the surface lighting and textures that i want for the piece, references of glacier/ice and random hard surface rocks were use in further study of their properties.

a quite sketch of a front view of the demon that will come to light soon i hope ^^.

cheers, and thank you for your support.

updates on the progress of the metamorphosis idea::

hiya everyone, so sorry for missing out for so many days, i have been tackling my other hobbies, so without further a due here are some quick description regarding the metamorphosis idea.

the first week when i read the demon lord and demon prince description, it posted some conflict for me.

1. how is it that demon lord and demon prince(ss) appearance descriptions are so entirely and drastically different, further inspection the description also feels that princes are heirs before they turn into demon lords, this part intrigued me quite the while.

solution thus far:: dream dream and dream more to find a visual explaination

2. since the descriptions are the givens, how do i go about focusing my concept so that it would fit right into the decriptions

solution thus far:: link the prince’s appearance change through the stage of metamorphosis, i skeem though a few mazagine regarding butterflys while i was out and about, and when comparing its worm stage and its butterfly stage, the two are drastically different, if it wasnt for the detail explaination in the magazine, i wouldnt have believe that the two are the same entity; simply change through a stage. with this being the inspiration, i want to mimic that speciality; appearance would drastically change, but remains the same entity.

3. it would be great if i can somehow show somesort of results inflicted from the battle, how should i go about?

solution thus far:: with the metamorphosis at hand, why not give a few variasion that conflicts with the ranking of the battle, wouldnt it be great to show the experience that the demon prince goes through?

4. the words seldom attacks, and when provoked in the demon lord description really spark more ideas to come:

Solution:: i remember back in Dark Prophecys II, there was a creature that is great at tanking when it is still; its like a giant stone, but when it atks, its destruction powers erupts like a flair of flame. this brought about the non-combat mode and provoked mode idea, the colors of the non-combat mode would be less saturated to indicate that it is less of a living being, while the provoked mode would be very saturated to contrast that difference.

thus comes the drawings; i wanted each metamorphosis rank to different as much as possible; thus the idea of manipulating differ style and color palette to create as much diffences as possible, so here are some WIPs.
