Steampunk Myths and Legends Entry: Simon Bull

#33

just playing around…

next ill prob play around some more…hahah

but ive gotta make the dood in 3d…so ill prob get to that next…its just been fun painting…havnt done it for a while…too much cg stuff recently :slight_smile:

Interesting Myth, Simon, one I’d vaguely heard of but wasn’t really familiar with… Cool! I look forward to seeing how you combine 2D with 3D for this entry. Compositionally, everything important right now is shoved over to the left side. You might want to think about how to spread out the points of interest more. And it looks less like the Hecatonchires is threatening a city like you mentioned, just one screaming girl (which makes the scope of the piece a bit less grandiose.) Anyhow, just some thoughts… Good luck and have fun!

I agree with warlus. the weight of the image lean towards left way too much. the body of the monster hardly balance it out. I’m thinking locate the head of the monster at power point 1, looking down from left up to bottom right. Let the girl fill up power point 4 and looking back into the monster.

My humble rusty two cents~

#36

yeah i wanted to pick something different…hehehe

dont stress the layout will all be changed…
as i said before this is just getting the concept down…
expect my usual madness from here on in…

the reason i do stuff in 3D first is to get the perspective how i wnt it…easy to change the camera and all that…

then ill jump into the real painting which is my forte…

#37

jacky jack jack…

dont worry.
as i said to the walrus fish eating friend ill be doing a different composition…

think what paperclip and me were talking about…we need epic!!

and dood link ya steampunk to ya signature so i can get to it better :slight_smile:

#38

after looking at this for a while it so looks like the chick is strolling…

“just out for a morning walk…oh…whats this behind me…”

lol…

makes me laugh…

as i said dont worry it will change

#39

Nice idea man.Indeed the composition needs a bit more work maybe but can’t wait to see your next steps!Good luck mate!

#40

interesting stuff man! ace.
yeah would be cool to open it up a bit.
… still can’t stop thinking about the little red riding hood idea! could be super groovy :slight_smile:

Wow great concept, this will be a really freaky good image. That sketch pretty much lays it all out. Nice. Good luck.

#42

Very cool! :slight_smile:
I love the face on the centipede monster. :slight_smile:

#43

just working on the arm for the monster/giant…
he needs 100 arms…hahaha
s ill rig this up so i can pose and duplicate them…

#44

added a bit or a Victorian normal map…

i used some real Victorian patterns to make an alpha…

#45

Hey Cyberone!
You great a cool concept going on here and very nice metal shader!
This is going to be fun!
:thumbsup:

#46

hey there.

really great work so far i love the render with the many robot arms.
on this last one i think you should make the ornaments stick out sharper.
maybe try displacement (is it in bum channel atm?)
anyways keep up the nice work cant wait to see what your create out of your concepts.

#47

great textures, it looks really nice

#48

Great textures! What are you going to do with the hand?

#49

just a test to see how a few arms would look together…

next ill start making the body and head…
then put on the arms :slight_smile:

still goto to fix up the hands alot more

#50

I’d never heard of Hecatonchires before (but that is why it is a cool idea). I like your other ideas too… ned kelly would’ve been really interesting! but anyways best of luck hey
yay for oz

#51

I love that idea too (lots of great ideas on the contest and I’ve used that sentence too much) but I really love it. Keep up the great work mate :thumbsup:

#52
