ShogunWarrior- Hey buddy COOL Creature I am sorry I haven´t check the thread till now :sad: , Your attention to textures and design its coming really well! :lightbulb :cool: I ´ll keep my eye on your work once finished! Have Fun! with all that crazy detail, I sure understand the passion for that! :rolleyes:

Ferx- jaja- I know I belong to the dark side! But I can cheer up for friends! never the less! :rolleyes: Awesome Commander :love: I really like his personality has a good mixture of warrior and wise all over him, Your style always has a cool approach! Get that crazy brush moving :wip:

ektho- Great warrior in deed has a lot of high rank his image! and since his approach is more tribal the military status has to be made in diferent ways! I imagine already it´s going to be great!

ROBOTTANK- Haha :smiley: Nice ! The wild west era, in a zombie way! I sure cheer for your idea! Keep it Up!

Remko- Those pets are fantastic i really like any one you choose! They all match in the solid world from where your imagination comes from! It´s going to be great see it finished ! :cool:

HI, looking through this thread, im seeing some excellent entries already.

heres my first sketch, hes a cyborg general who has seen alot of fighting.

feel free to comment
good luck everyone

#567

ektho: Nice one!

Saint-max: Whicked design! Like it a lot.

paperclip: Hehe the funniest approach in this team guess. I like that little puppy, how cute his soldiers must be. ^^

Okmer: Now that one is evil! Even though I think that such a pet belongs in the arms of a super villain, It’s a cool gimmik! I like em all, Its your choice :smiley:

Bluntpencil: Nice update! But be carefull with the pet- don’t let the bird outrank the general. The viewer should see it just after the general not before.

I added some shoulders to my general and will add some more metalparts cause I got very bored of the former outfit.

#568

Yakonusuke - the metal shoulders armor look really cool!

DerRoteBaron - cool update ! Perhaps you need to open a bit the right arm to no confuse with the waist armor part, only a comment.

CharlesVarenne - Think you go with (1) Is almost finished :slight_smile:

Madbot - Cool design and concept. Maybe you need to work a bit on lighting and contrast for your general to gain a bit more volume, only a comment :slight_smile:

ekhto - Really looking cool, like the colors on your image.

Robottank - no words, I´m not an advanced artist, and “anyone” dont comming this night … hahahahaha :smiley: Seriously, think your concept is nice and like the idea of the lighting from down. Perhaps you need to increase the actual highlights on your character to put a more emphasis on the light down to up. And dark the background a bit from the general muerto’s hand level ( a bit low) to down for the same reason, emphasis for the lighting from down. I dont like the logo on the flag, maybe you can put on the chest band. Keep the good work. Cheers!

Megoru - That armor is looking really good

Neurolinked - Nice corrction. Perhaps the torso and shoulders nee to be more wider, only a coment.

Saint-max - cool colors, like a lot. Put a fantastic note on your concept :smiley:

Sadrack - nice to see you my friend :slight_smile: Really cool start , very nice sketch

#569

Great updates and progress everyone!! Cheers mates :beer:

WIP 5

#570

I think this is it…

Ferx: Nice colors scheme, looking forward to seeing it complete.

yakonusuke: The realism in the face is amazing.

ektho: I love the design and energy you have going on here.

Okmer: I pick B.

#571

Thanks Ferx, I appreciate any comments on my work, still learning.
I will have a closer look at lighting and contrast, cheers. :slight_smile:

BTW love what have so far

#572

@paperclip: Thanks for your advice! It was quite helpful.
@DerRoteBaron: I think it would help if you emphasize the shading more. To take it into a moody direction, it helps to zoom out and paint over with a large brush.
@yakonsuke: Nice progress, I’m digging the metalparts. I hope that beard won’t be too smooth.
@jushra: Quite solid work. Maybe you should spread the red some more. It’s all on one spot currently.

I have finished my image.

…was fun :stuck_out_tongue:

#573

i return paint tomorow but for now, congratulations for everyone.

DefiledVisions, your WIP work generates big expectations. I think a good promise!

syrez-one, so nice your zombie general… i like so mush your color mainly your background.

VHASE, the face your general it’s really cool like you paint.

AcerB, Yeah! Congrats! Very good.

PeteS, Perfect glasses, maybe try change purple to red.

Artys, realy so cool… i don’t have more words ofr describe what i feel seeing your image. it’s amazing. Geronimooooooooo LOL

cylstudio81, yo man… i like this so much… i think the glow must be red, but blue stay be so perfect… i never think this things… congrats. but remember me a warlord, a magian not general… just comments.

Diguera yeahhhhhhh in time, hein my friend!? very cool

OKMER, i like a hair, clothes and glasses from image A and pet from image B. is more consistent with the composition as a whole and the colors seem more spectacular.

naito, ow, man… this general make fear and it seems tough. very nice!

yakonusuke, so brute… so barbarian… general of mercenaries? it’s very cool… but civil a lot, no? but really amaizing. congrats!

#574

Image final. This was fun. I’m looking forward to the main event, though I will be switching over to 3D.


#575

WIP images. Been working on this for a few days, finally getting to post.
Not sure if the sword design is going to remain, but we’ll see.

Color flats, starting to paint:

#576

Well ,I didn’t plan on entering the mini challenge, but I could use the experience. This is what I have so far. I still don’t have a finished idea for the clothes or anything really. I have to hurry though.

#577

Stridiggio:Thanks :)Your reminds me of an Ewook. The dark side one. Keep it up.
VictorRojo: Thanks:)Nice general. keep it up.
Fernando: Thanks dude. :slight_smile: Nice to see you here. Your lion general looks great.
Theresa:Thanks:) Yours is the stranger general, but it looks great. What is it/he holding? (very curious to know that)
Okmer: B is the best pet for this general in my opinion. Your other image was very good and this one is too. Reallly great.

There are really good works here.Keep it up all.:):beer:

I started adding some color on General Txogo>>>>

#578

Wow everyone’s doing so well. GG guys!

Ok, I was gonna start the medals/blades, but the boyfriend suggested I get the clothes out of the way first, so that’s what I’m doing. Also 99.9% finished the face. Might upload some close ups of the face for details sake.

OKMER - I like image B :smiley:

#579

Ekto: love the color.

Megoru: Nice design…maybe add some grunge overlay to whole picture to give it some overall texture if ya don’t feel comforatbale doing it per surface.

yakonsuke: The color added new life to this…has a sort of renaissance feel to it.

VHASE,: Nice details on there

Navigator Jones: Love teh face so far!

Ok…so I got a quick hour after diner to play a bit.
Started working on the shoulder decorations…still playing with the designs…but knocked in some basic shape to live with for a while. Other than that, as mentioned by someone I changed the cape red (thanks for the heads up), as well as made the under armor grey to match our colors. I also crushed the middle shadows a little. I like the dramatics of it, but maybe it’s covering too much detail?
Well…gonna leave it rough like this till i figure it out. The logo will go on the chest plate.

#580

Swamped with work, posting some kind of update in the meantime. This thread is out of control and I hope to be able to finish. Great work guys. Will take advice given on composition. Thanks for feedback.
