Lupus Major, Michael Dashow (2D)

#1

Title: Lupus Major
Name: Michael Dashow
Country: USA
Software: 3ds max, Photoshop

This was my entry for Dominance War IV, a large character design contest sponsored by Game Artisans. There were a whole bunch of rules for what kinds of characters you could show and what you needed to include - I won’t bore you with the details - but this character is a cyborg wolf with a pet dog. Here are some of the other sheets I needed to include:

Model Sheet

Concept Sheet

Text Sheet

Lupus was designed on paper, modeled partially in 3DS Max, redrawn in pencil, and then painted over in Photoshop.

Typically brillant Michael - man, you have such a gift for imbuing your creations with a great character. This is no exception - I could stare at your detailing for hours man. Phil

Wolves with frickin’ laser beams in their paws - I love it! I love the way the bg one looks like he’s just romping. Terrific imagination in this one.

Really spiffy Walrus! I love the color pallets and character styles you use in your work… they are inviting and fun and have an innocence to them. Really nice work!!!
