Pre-DomWar V - Concept Art

#61

I love his multiple eyes and horns :smiley:

I’ve been trying out a change of colour on the Shadow - to bring his uniform in line with the CGS Team…

…But I think I’ve decided I’m going with Black rather than red :smiley:

Attempting to integrate the two characters together in a scene, although still unsure about how I might change the TechnoMage. I need to make the Shadow more visible without making him look less ‘shadowy’ as well. At the moment the Black Background in the lower half is supposed to be some kind of system of bunkers or a fortress, but it’s not clear enough yet :slight_smile:

My Shadow and TechnoMage are definitely on the same Team. OUR team :smiley: and they are scything through some as yet unidentified opposition - although I suppose the identity and relative power of any opposition we include in our pics is not important … so long as they are being mercilessly crushed :slight_smile:

All comments welcome

Hello all :bowdown: Nice concepts everyone! Will join under banner of CG society too :slight_smile:
Here is the first sketch of my shadow&corrupted.

#63

here is the first layout i sketched (probably only I can tell whats going on at the moment)
the war general is on the left battling his way through “shadow” people. The real shadow is on the right hiding non-sealant behind the rock.

#64

here is the 2nd layout for war general and shadow.
The war general on the right is looking all badass carrying his 2 giant swords of epicness.
The shadow has won though, standing on the war generals blade, he/she has the war general under checkmate.

#65

this is my 3rd quick layout, (which I like the best)
The war general has been defeated, a tough battle it was, but alas the war general finds himself looking into the sky in unbelief, knowing that his battle and is life is at an end. with the shadow dexterously escaping the generals grip, he/she was able to land the critical blow to the war generals’ opening in his armor. as he/she falls backwards, a smile is seen on his/her face, knowing that the long painful battle was been won.

Screenblind - like the symbolism of the shadow and the strong colours too. Good to see the 2D thread’s picking up, lots of good stuff coming in. Anyhow, here’s my second concept sketch. I might to something with her armour when I do the colour version, or maybe not. Oh yeah, and she’s a Shadow.

#67

concepting out the helmet for the wargeneral.

#68

concepting out the armor for the war general. I’m pretty sure that I’m choosing the one on the left.

#69

Here are the silhouettes of the technomage designs. I’ve chosen to draw the technomage and the shadow. The one in red is the one I’ve chosen to move forward with. I’m excited to bust out the shadows today.

#70

And here they are together. Ahh, what a lovely couple. Hopefully I’ll be able to start on the colour work in a day or two.

Hello CGsociety! Sweet concepts so far everyone!

I’m joining in the fun with this team. I’m looking to do General + his army of Techno Mages :smiley:

BaronImpossible: I like very well the demon! good wip!
Sielagaudys: really stunning concept, upload more!
NickSilva: good armor concept, i’m happy to see the evolution of your work.

I’ve try to develop more the image find a pose, but I seem to have thrown away the evening for the time being :cry: , I have to work harder…
The idea is that the War general attack and break the minion of the Tecnomage that simoultaneosly try to draw a magic circle with the hand to protect itself…

Hey guys I’m just being nosy, coming over from the 3d Character Art bit to see how your doing and wish you good luck in the war! There’s some sick concepts knocking about, keep it up :wink:

@ahbeejieh: Nice colours, I really like the technomage on the right

@BaronImpossible: Dude they are some awesome creations :bowdown: I’ll be keeping an eye on them

@NickSilva: I think your right with the armour on the left, and the helmet is looking mighty good too

@Screenblind: Nice action pose with the shadow type, looking promising

Good Luck

#74

good job everybody, keep it up.
here are the orthographic views of the war generals’ armor. this picture is of the pieces unattached.

#75

here is the armor attached so these are the proportions we should be looking to see.
only slightly different, but I’m sure it makes a difference to the modelers out there.

#76

@nicksilva, that armor is really looking good, keep it up
@neurolinked, thanks, hey if u cant seem to find a right pose just try drawing the concepts first like nicksilva, then figure out the pose later XD

#77

Feedback
@NickSilva - really like your concepts of the Shadow defeating the General. I like that you’ve thought about the backstory now instead of trying to paste something appropriate in later on! and the scenes are actionpacked - helmet/costume designs really good too, and show the same dedication to preparation. Look forward to seeing more development on the bloodshed :slight_smile:

@BaronImpossible - Love your Corrupted and Shadow together and can’t wait to see the colour start flowin. Only one ‘Devils advocate’ question - and a really pernicketty personal one at that - is: “Does the Shadow HAVE to be wearing high heels?” XD

@ahbeejieh - Love your general. Looks like he’d have as much trouble getting in and out of that armour as his enemies would :smiley: and your idea for the Mage is great - I think you could have lots more impact by exaggerating the ‘attack’ pose more - Really has the potential to be scary!

@Soulspline - Great concepts both. I still love the first one best I think & Want to see more detail!

…Brainfart commencing…

So - I decided that a TechMage would undoubtedly be able to fly, and so his ‘tank’ is slowly becoming a kind of cleopatra armchair with Saurons lazer eye on the crest :B - I realised his scale was all out of whack compared to the silhouetted soldiers he is frying, so I shrunk him down and he also now has three acolytes; operating the controls for him - while he relaxes in his comfy throne.

The Fortress still needs work compositionally as I’d like to show a lot more Marines (or whatever the opposition turn out to be) on gantries and walkways and stuff - getting fried by the lazer and splattered by rail guns and the like. So that might have to change. It needs to look like the lazer is taking out a big swathe of enemies effortlessly. It probably need to be less 'castle’y and more modern

My wife suggests I turn the TekMage to face the enemy a bit more, as she thinks it looks like he’s trying to hunt down the Shadow character. I think she’s probably right & I don’t want that: as they need to look like they’re working on the same team - Obviously any advice concerning Composition and colours etc. from you guys would be really welcome at this stage :slight_smile:

(@neurolinked - Thanks for comment on the red version of the Shadow, I’m thinking maybe you’re right. Urg - I have real trouble with colours, but the thing that is coming to the front of my mind is making the two characters look like part of the CGS team, and we definitely have the best colours to work with :slight_smile:

does my first concept looks like a currupted or a technomage?
