DWIV - 3D - Sevv - Untitled

Latest update 19.05.09:

A change of direction for my DWIV entry. I came to the conclusion that my previous idea was not developed enough, I couldnt fully realise it as a finished character.

I have changed my concept:

A machine scout. I believe this idea has great potential, able to move around the landscape at great speed. The ‘wheel’ segments can be stored in his backpack so he can stand up right. I can imagine him speeding along, rolling over a bump in the terrain… in mid air the segments rotate to his pack and him landing on two feet ready for the war. I love like the idea of a holographic display which he uses to navigate.


This concept is much much clearer in my mind and considering the time frame of this competition I believe very achievable in the time left.

Wow, stone and ice, interesting concept. I look forward to seeing how that develops.

Thanks inqy, you and me both my friend : ) edit - trying to tidy up my thread some what.

#5

I like that idea, but why would the moon give his eye shine if he’s facing away from it?

In the mean time ive drawn a better idea of the pocket watch.

#7

I like the idea of the creature being held together by structures of ice, although ice is really tough to get looking right. Keep it up!

Started my sculpt, not there yet but a good starting point I think.

#12

Nice sculpted, as you say a good starting point, itll be intressting to see how you deal with the problem of getting ice to look right in real time, good luck with that :stuck_out_tongue: :slight_smile:

Nice job so far mate keep at it ^^

I really, really like the idea. Good luck with the ice as well, I recently did a snowy train station and it looked not so good just because I had issues getting the snow and icicles to look right. Maybe doing a final render in Mental Ray was some cool materials and phongs and the sort would work well for you. Look forward to seeing more!

I love the flow, and the muscle structure is definitely starting to take shape. The whiter areas below give a sense of the ice being sucked up, but I wonder if you can make those a little more opaque than the crystal-blue area? We rarely see ‘ice’ on the ground, after all, it’s usually snow, so I think that would help give the impression that it draws ice from the ground.

I need to get a good final concept posted asap!

Bloody nice job on the ice mate, it was the part of your project that looked like it could be a real pain but it looks really nice. Good luck appling it to the rest of the character. :thumbsup:
