Alright, here´s the first concept, and some inspiring references.

[b]One of the hands on her will be free for holding the weapon to the right. The other hand is merged with the beast.

Also a bit of info about her. The beast and the princess is in symbiosis, fully merged together not only in form but in mind aswell. The princess control there every move and though.
Both of them has diffrent qualities to use, for example at nighttime she can use the beasts eyes to see better in the dark. During battle she does most of the fighting, using mostly her lethal weapon and knife-wings-thingys on her back (still havnt desided the design on those). She also have some magic powers of fire to do damage on range.[/b]

Great concept.

I love the way that she melds in with her mount. Definitely an original idea. Looking forward to see more progress. :buttrock:


#4

Thanks, glad you like it :slight_smile:


#5

Very cool and creepy looking, it’s nice to see a Demon Princess who isn’t just a pretty face :thumbsup:


#6

Awesome concept Greger, great reference as well, hope to see some 3D soon!


#7

I really like that concept also. Of the person melding in with the mount.
That’s something new!
Keep em coming man


#8

Thanks everyone, Im really glad you all like the concept.

Im going to stick with the idea of them merged together, but the appearance and features might change quite a bit.

I did a little bit of zbrush-concepting on the beast here and I kinda like where this one is going.
The princess is very basic so far, im gonna try out some features on her tomorrow, got a few ideas. Need to cover her up as well, dont want her to be naked in the end.

Crits and comments are welcome

Zbrush concept:


#9

Whoa man that was quick! Looks awesome already even in at a blocking stage. How do you plan to approach the merging flesh?? Going to model and add on as subtools I am assuming. Looking forward to some updates!!


#10

Yeah, I gonna do some tests with separate subtools for the flesh, hadn´t thought about that yet actually, but thats probably the best way.


#11

Update time!

Played around some more i zbrush today, trying out some features on the princess and working som more on the beast.
This is what I got so far, Im not sure about the princess yet, but the concept of the beast is good I think.
Also tried out some flesh to connect them, as it is right now is to small, I think im gonna try with larger peaces, as if their muscle groups was grown together.


#12

Love the concept! The melding into the mount looks spectacular. Who controls who? Does she direct the beast where to go, or does the beast just run around attacking everything insight? I’m thinking she needs something in her hands. Maybe some reins to control the beast or a prod of some sort. Just throwing out some ideas. What do you think?


#13

Hi. I wrote some short info about how she works along with the first concept, I moved that up to the first post now for everyone to see :slight_smile:

She is the one in control, but they are fully merged in mind and body, working as one.

About the hands, yeah I was thinking that her right hand is melded onto the back of the beast, you might say that she has been holding on to the beast there for thousands of years and have now merged on to it.
In the left hand she will have a weapon of some kind, there is a shape for it in the first concept but I will probably change it a bit.

Thanks for you thoughts Obmoc :slight_smile:


#14

kick ass idea, keep it up, can’t wait to see more!!


#15

Awesome concept… i love the idea of being able to use both their qualities for different situations, Great start on the zbrush sculpt… looking awesome already


#16

Thanks :slight_smile:

Heres some more concept sculpting, trying out some features for the princess.
Some wings maybe?, It might work if they are dark in color. Im not sure, but I do really like the shape of them. We´ll see. I,ll keep trying stuff.
Any comments?

Oh btw, there will be chains! :stuck_out_tongue: oh my this is going to cost polygons … But it HAVE to be chains!


#17

Greger those wings look awesome! Maybe try some kind of combination of the wings and the previous design, her head is lookin alittle big for her body atm but as you said your just testing stuff out :slight_smile: If you have time you should try some type of tentacles coming out of her back merging into the beast to add more of the fact that they are connected. Just a thought


#18

Wow nice work allready!But the one thing that pop out. is the face of the lady demon like to sweet or something like that and on you ref i thought the haze white eyes looked better!!
But else nice work like the ideer of her being like infested inthe mounted creature!! sweet!


#19

Thank you for your replies.
GregStrangis: I was thinking that something should connect her at the back, you mentioning tentacles gave some great ideas, thanks :stuck_out_tongue:

Im trying not to think to much about the anatomy at the moment, I know there are several wrongs right now and I will get back to it when the design of all the features is nailed.
Ill probably will be working on the face until the last day to get it right :slight_smile:

Im also going to merge her right arm as soon as posible to enhance the feel of connection between them.

Cheers!

Hej Greger! :slight_smile: Very nice start! One thing that is good and bad at the same time, the beast i really like the head and front area of it, the placement of the teeth eyesockets and shapes of its jaws is very cool. The downside is that it outshines your character. I think you should keep pushing the mount so that you have some thing to push your character past, it’ll be great i bet. I think its a good idea not to get hung up pn anatomy right now like you said, but i dont think thats the problem with your character, its her personality, she kind of looks like a confused middle aged woman. I’d love to see you play with her forms more as you’ve done with the beast, that’d be great. Keep up the great work!
