Hey Daniel,

The backgrunds looks amazing, like a lot the contrast on it and the composition. Perhaps are much “air” between the characters, maybe you need to put the man more closer to Tsukumogami, and Tsukumogami with the head more rotated, looking at man more directly, only a comment :). Again, great work!! Cheers!! :beer:

Yeah, as some of the people here said already; It’s a nice, original and refreshing subject. Clever choice.
I have one thing to discuss. The ghost. Right now he looks like an ordinary steampunk robot. And it’s not that obvious that he’s made of the spare parts here. (Know it’s still on the concept stage but…)
My advice would be to make it animate out of something more distinguishable, like a big clock, a mangler, a furnace or something. By doing that, the message about the legend/myth is a bit clearer and one doesn’t need to read the description to get some parts of the story. Now, it just looks like a man and a robot playing chess, which could be confusing (e.g Death often play chess with his victims). I’d focus a bit more on the robot’s metamorphosis than the activity at this stage. Make the message clearer.

Now, keep it up!

Ferx: You right about the space . i bit more to the right the old man + the chess table and i think it can get solved. Some friends have commented here about the head too. One option was to have them both kind of sleepy and the spirit resting his head in his hand. other version can be the Tsukumogami smoking a pipe in a very classic style …what do you think?

HumbleHenk: I can’t agree more with you. even my wife told me about the same issue. His body has to connect in a very more complex way to the mechanical surrounding and at the same time i see like adding a bit of “floating” look to elements that became part of him. and yes he definitely has to have other type of junk on him!

another element i wanted to add is small pieces that slowly are coming to him …they may have a personality by themselves …

anyway. .Thanks for the comments guys! thats really good input!

CHEERS!!

Floating parts and fragments sounds like a good idea.

Hey Dude Beautiful concept:thumbsup:

#27

Great progress, Daniel! I hope you focus the lighting more on the main figure. And because it is based on Japanese myth, try adding some Japanese flavor to the artwork. Maybe some Japanese signage or letterings here and there?

Keep going!
