Great concept and mood in your composition! good luck!

#15

Maybe his father/creator could be on his hand?

I agree with the other poster that said putting some stresss on the warehouse would help give him some mass.

#16

Oh that’s soo awesome! Love your interpretation of the story…having Pinnochio a giant :smiley:

#17

Thanks for the input everyone!!!
Many great idés and inputs, i realy appreciate it :thumbsup::applause:.

Yea i thought about having his “dad” creator sitting on his finger /palm. but i think im going to put the cricket there.
The final image is going to be 3D so this is only concept,composition and mood sketches.
I think i’m gonna do a 3d/2d mattepainting for the background.
Just hope i got enough time =P

#18

New take on the scene.

#19

I’m not so sure about this head…abit to evil looking…

#20

The mysterious Cricket =)

#21

You know you should almost have him holding Jipetto, or however you spell his name. And have it be the circus that is destroyed underneath him, or the freak show he was part of. Just a suggestion but that would bring alot to the character and keep you on the story.

Amazing concepts though! I love em.

Nice start! I’m really liking the look of jipetto.

#23

i know i suggested putting jimmy crickett on his finger, but that was before i realized that he was a giant and was sitting on a building… it probably would be better to put gepetto… luv the somber mood that this portrays… keep it up

Joel - Your Concept sketch is really nice. The mood is nicely developed. SO far so Good. I have Two recommendations.

ONE - Try more Variations for the Environment, though Nothing wrong with your present one but try out something else :slight_smile: may be its looks better.

TWO - OK for The main character, i have a humble recommendation. I think so far the character has dead expressionless face, Give him features. Pronounce them more. That will in my opinion give it personality. Something more we can easily relate to. I hope you get what i mean.

Lets see how everything progresses i will stay tuned :slight_smile:

thank you and Best of luck.

Regards

Great work! Love the setting.
I do agree with phoenix though, he needs a little more personality. Something we can empathize with. Remember, he was made as a child’s toy. Although, I’ve seen some toys that even scare me a little. (Clown doll from the movie Poltergeist, :eek: !)

I like the “jimmy” cricket character. You called him mysterious, and that he is!

#26

Wow! What a great subject. Very fitting for the challenge. My only worry is, when he tells a

lie he could destroy a whole village. LOL
Fantastic start!

Very cool stuff man looking sweet…had the same idea and then saw your post …aaarrgh…scrap idea… rethink ;]

#28

Sweeet, some cool stuff in here already. :slight_smile: Love that last one… I think that the characters look far more interesting than the environment/composition at the moment, maybe put some more work into that since you dont seem to have any trouble with your characters for sure, hehe. Keep it up and good luck!

#32

Joel, I love the night scene. Really looking forward to more! :slight_smile:

#33

wow, great designs, I like your concept, it’s like taking pinoccio fairytale to the real world, I like the contrast between the colorful happy pinoccio we all have in our minds and this one… good job :slight_smile:
