Hello all! thank you so much for your interest!
Update:
- Final design of the ship/engine mount and dragon position.
- Happy with the city style. Which includes: Castles, Waterfalls, Gardens, towers and defense cannons (Trust me there are plenty of things that may need a good blast! He he…
- Modelling and Texture can now proceed concurrently.
- Design of Captian Dusscut and King Krusher on the way. But won’t be in the final render… well its just that I can’t keep my mind on one thing at a time, Captian Dusscut needed a face.
- Thinking of turning this all into a pitch for a new video game/cg-film kinda like the ROTR/FF-X2 games(dreams are free hay
adr: Thanks for your comments and for following my thread, more updates are definately coming.
Deepforest: thanks

Rakanishu1024: thanks dude, like wise my wife is also banging on my door wanting to see it in 3D… he he
Virtuoso: thanks so much dude! thank for offering the help in Max! Due to the tight time frame I may have to go with Maya just for speed but most likely will do the characters in Max for sure. Cheers!

Introducting CAPTAIN DUSSCUT of the GALLEON ‘DRAKONTAS EXERVNO’.
Its a work in progress, sorry I know I should be working on the main Galleon but I just couldn’t resist doing a character, promise I’m doing the 3D version now.
By the way I named him after on of my favourite artist ‘Dusso’. Maybe I’ll do another character and call him Fang Zhu… he he
Cheers

Beautiful once again.It is too bad the captain will not be in for the final entry piece.But I quess can be added afterwards.I seem to misunderstand I think???Will the Dragon be the flesh part???I think also to have this done with any closeup details you will need 6 months more???Sp perhaps just some details and not too close???
Anywys very nice concept work and interesting to see you progress.

adr: thanks dude, 3D is coming.
dunkel: thanks for the comments dude, glad you like it.
janhath: thanks also, your right it will take 6 months to do all the detail I wait so I’m thinking I’ll put most of the modelling in the texture and use bump maps to bring out the detail.
And yes the Dragon is definately the flesh part. The Dragon was fused permantly with the steam engine, his horns were hollowed out and belly used as a furnace. The most important part of this image ill be the connection with the transfer of fire power to steam power. But I also want it to be a very simple but vital mechanism. I’m going towards a very basic but stylistic machineflesh union.
Nothing gory, scary, violent or demented was the direction i gave myself. Which cut out 90% of my first thoughts. Yeah I wish I had enough time to add Dusscut and Kusher but they’ll definately make an appearance soon after.
Cheers!

Oh boy I’m really behind,
Here is the fron and side view of the ship. I’m currently doing a self taught crash course in Max 5 instead of Maya to which I much say Max definately has some great features!!
Textures are coming just got to get up to speed on modelling in Max.
Cheers

Whoa… been a while since I peeked in here the last time… I must say that your concepts are without a doubt in a league of their own… If you actually do find the time to realize all of this in 3D… well, then you will have an outstanding piece of cosmic proportion… Crikey! Best of luck in your modeling efforts

Hey dudes this maybe my last post. I’m so flat out at the moment. But I promise I’ll finish it after the competition and continue with more characters and other crazy ideas to add to the story…
Cheers all and thanks for all your encouragement.
