Machineflesh 3D Challenge Entry: Michael Zurcher

#31

Well I have been giving a lot of thought to everyones feedback and suggestions. So here is the story:
In a paralell reality to that which we are living exists a different reality, one of dark torment. It is a reality in which evil has prevailed against that of good…The good of mankind was over thrown by it’s lack of consideration for the seven deadly sins:
1)Pride: mankind became excessive its belief in their own abilities, and it interfered with the their recognition of the grace of God. It was the sin from which all others arose. Pride is also known as Vanity.
2)Envy: Mankind desired that of others’; traits, status, abilities, or situations.
3)Greed: their desire grew stronger for material wealth or gain, ignoring the realm of the spiritual.
4)Lust: their inordinate craving for the pleasures of the body grew to over whelming proportions.
5)Anger/wrath: was manifested in mankind who were spurned by love and thus opted instead for fury.
6)Gluttony: they gained inordinate desire to consume more than that which they required.
7)and Sloth: as their habits grew worse so did their care for labor worsen, they became sluggish, and lazy.
The spirit world began to stur. Deamons began to push through the barrier of good. With each ill deed a new evil soul pushed itself onto earth. Mankind was unaware that this was happening and an evil empire was forged. An army of darkness ravaged the earth. Mankind was soon overthrown by this evil emipre and forced into slavery. The deamons showed no mercy, and used all they could of the humans and their technology. It was the first victory for the dark empire. The chance they had been waiting for for thousands of centuries. It was the begining of the Second Holy War!
The deamons used mankind to create machines for the Holy battle which would take place on earth. It would be an epic battle of good verses evil…heaven verses hell.
The deamons realized humans were quite abundant, and proved to be a great resource for building materials. they used human bodies as parts to create vehicles, and weapons. And knowing that mankind was created in God’s image, the deamons devised ways to harness the souls of the humans to produce weapons that rivaled the strenght of the Heavens…the wepon of “Humonic Soulange”…
I could keep on going, but you get the idea! So, I will be using a variation of my concept drawings to recreate a scene depicting a “flesh machine” decked out with a “Humonic Soulange”…hope you enjoy and don’t think i am too sick!! hahaha!
Cheers :beer:

YE-yaaaaaa! EVIL.
MAX on out the mayhem.

#33

so may ideas…so little time…I will try and have some updates in the later hours of tonight! will be working hard to catch up…the madnes shall commence!!:beer:

#34

hey beautiful stuff… I love the body you’ve made so far… and I like your last sketch… I like the way the skin is stretched and stitched to the metal frame… very nice touch!

where in PA? Glenside (philly), here…

#35

:hmm: ,

if you want to be “original” inthis one, perhaps you should try to insert some history, world of life into it. Maybe like why this gal should be a bike ? maybe as a living ? a public transport like a cab…with a twist :smiley: giving extra pleasure to passenger ? Maybe as a punishemnt or an act of slavery ?

I mean, don’t just create for the sake of the art, maybe the originality comes from the real life context: social problems ? psychological ? etc.

imscifi: thanks for the nice words…I live in chester county out near downingtown…but I am very familiar with Glenside, As I went to school at Beaver College now Arcadia University…I work in conshohocken…so we are practically neighbors!

raiyan: I have decided that I am not going to use the woman Idea…instead I will use a man who has commited all seven deadly sins…his acts in this alternate reality have condemed him to an existence of eternal damnation and tourture. Each of his deadly sins will be evident as I begin to build his “Machine flesh” it will most likely not be a motorcycle that his form will take but more likely some sort of flying machine. as it seems a few others contestants have decided to make woman bikes…so I will strive to make this more unique and hopefully his punishment will become more apparent as I begin detailing the model…Also he will be carrying the “Humonic Soulange” weapon…so stay tuned for the evil… Thanks for all your comments, It helps to push the envelope, and inspires me to do this challenge…
cheers:beer:

not as far as I had hoped to get but…I have some other stuff that needs to get done tonight…maybe have some more time tomorrow night!! cheers mates!

#38

This looks interesting, nice clean mesh :buttrock:

#39

I’m liking this new concept a lot more… the pose looks really great, but the neck is too long. I guess you could put it down to the deformities suffered, but if you want to go for realism it looks a little bit strange. I really love the pose as it is though… just pointing it out in case you hadn’t intended it to be like that.

#40

very Inspirational!!! Keep :wip:

#41

you are too sick
I guess the challenge topic inspires more evil than anything else. My character is a villain set in a dramatic scene, I couldn’t come up with something positive either.
I love the cow-machine thread though. I hope more funny ideas come up in this challenge
looks like you’re on to a good start in the modeling

#42

You might want to elongate and taper the back of the skull to make it more closely resemble the shape of a motorcycles gas tank.

#44

just a fast color…

#45

Very interseting. Lost of nice details. What is it? Some kind of a vehicle?

I posted this before…but i will post it again for those who din’t read in earlier threads…here is the story:

the concept is a flying machine made from a human used to also harness the soul of the human…as weapons for the Second Holy War!

#49

It just got wilder…and for the better.Visually a very wild ride,surrealism at it’s apex…Will be great to see you bring that machine and then flesh into the 3D realm…:beer:
