is … nothing like a “woman” and their power of seduction … is practically a sucubus … a mermaid out of the sea, interesting … I wonder what will compose the background … very good! I will be waiting in the news.

#102

Stutts, g3p: thank you guys!

Well, I’ve finally decided to go for a morrocan-style inner courtyard, sop here’s the lineart:

It doesn’t show too well, but half of the creature is under the archway, so it’s partially shaded. The light will be quite dim, coming form a dusk sky and a few candles here and there.

Hope you like it. Next update will be a colour wip at last! CYA

Hey Herald I like the new morrocan style, it fits well with her! 1 thing that seems off to me is the perspective with the back wall, not sure whats making it seem off but I am sure you will make it look awesome in the end =)

#104

Hahah, she’s in your base, sexing you manz - I mean killing them…!
This is pretty cool, the only thing that looks off thus far is the guy closest to the camera, he looks like he’s floating rather than kneeling(unless he’s in motion, mid fall?) or maybe she’s grabbing him or supporting his fall in some way?
waiting for colour!

#105

It is very exciting to see her in context! Can’t wait to see the end result!

#106

Hi dude, you are doing a great work. I like a lot the concet and modelling sheet.

The last sketch looks very good too.:arteest:
keep it up:beer:

#107

esta re heavy tu mina. I almost want to be a victim, but I just hate the idea of feeding that big ass lobster, I just don’t like the idea of him not sharing the food.
well, having covered the more important issues, I do agree with some work needed on the angle, and minor details like that. just work it, you’ll know when it looks right. Un fuerte abrazo de otro lado de rio. :smiley:

#108

Great design, its really solid.
The skulls on the squid cranium look great, the overall shape of it reminds me a bit of the HR Geiger Alien work.
Cant wait to see it go even further!

GregStrangis: hey Greg, how are you doing? Actually, i did use a perspective line grid, so I’m pretty sure its right, the thing is that the composition sucks and it doesn’t read well. :sad: I’m working on that. Thanks for dropping by buddy!

NavigatorJones: thanks! Yea, you got that right, he is floating towards her like if he were under a spell. Anyway, I’m changing te whole thing, so that won’t be a problem any more.

numabrush: thanks a lot :slight_smile:

Ataulfo: Iban, glad you liked it. Que andes bien.

live2contage: daniel, you’re right about changing the angle. I’l definetly do that. thanks man!

CurtisRU: Wow, a million thanks. I hadn’t though about it, but now that you mention it the skulls back there do have some geigerish feel.

Well, as I’ve said, I’m changing the whole thing… Started colour blocking and in the end I wasn’t pleased with neither the composition nor the colouring. There was too much attention given to the background and not the character, and it wasnt working for me.
I’m posting that little colour study cause I promised to do so, but I think I’m going for the complete opposite pallette…:hmm: We’ll see…

Cheers everybody!

Hey Herald I am glad you are changing the comp as I agree with you that she blends way to much with the background, I am sure it will come to you buddy :wink:

#111

Hey Gerardo,

Really great updates :smiley: The concept sheet and the model sheet, look really cool!!
The final composition, looks nice too, but maybe the background is a bit busy and take some attention of your character, perhaps an open cliff at seaside, only a idea :slight_smile: Again, cool work !! and waiting for more updates!! Cheers my friend!! :beer:

#112

very well done, its really powerful :thumbsup:

#113

Very nice!
But I think that the perpektive is from too high above. Would be quite more epic when its
lower. And the floor seams to tilt in the direction of the viewer.

… Oh just saw that some others have criticised that already… :smiley:
Good luck man!

#114

Hi guys, I’ve been a little down lately, and I guess it shows in the quality of my work :blush:. I’m getting bored of this character and my morale is dropping, but I’ll try to do my best.

GregStrangis: You’re absolutely right Greg, thanks a lot for all the support and encouragement.

Ferx: Fernando! Long time no see! Yes, it was wa too busy and I was focusing to much on the surroundings and less on the character. No le pego una ultimamente :banghead:. Gracias por tu comentario.

ShamesArt: thanks m8. It still has a long way to go tho.

yakonusuke: advice very appreciatted buddy. Thanks for dropping by.

Well, the background is now a simpler and less distracting haunted forest, and the victim guy is outside of the picture, only casting a shadow.
Here’s some variations on a new colour scheme too. Theres only subtle difference between them, but I feel things are getting back on track and this is more true to my original vision. Please tell me which one you like best, the one with most votes by this time tomorrow will be the final colour scheme.

C&C are soooo welcomed!

#115

I like B. It looks really nice, I like the ambiance on it. Great job Gaes!
:slight_smile:

#116

I would go with C, as B is a little too… pushed contrast, dunno. The greenish mouldering and warm athmosphere fits better the stlye of the creature than the cold B. Just my opinion, of course.

#117

Hey Gerardo,

Like the new background :slight_smile: and my vote is for B :smiley:

Hey man this is for fun, keep the motivation :D. You can make a totally loose sketches trying dynamic poses and compositions, little thumbnails, with a few lines, only searching for the gesture. For example you can try some tentacles foreshortening to the victim out of the screen, to gain perspective, or the female part foreshortening and attacking (removing her bra hahahaha :D) when you find a composition you like, you can refine the sketch. Only a comment :slight_smile:
I think your work is great so far. Cheers my friend!! :beer:

(Vamos Gerardo, creo que tu concepto es uno de los mejores. Puedes tomarte unos dias, para descansar y quitarte el aburrimiento, y después le vuelves a dar duro. Unos tequilas tambien te caerian bien, ya deja el mate :smiley: jajajajajajajajajaja)

#118

Really cool approach to the idea man! I love the direction you’re going with this one!~Gonna keep an I on this wonderful concept, keep updating! :thumbsup:

#119

WHAT? mate is the source of all power, and be careful with the tequila you might want to sleep one to many a nap…ha :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: ! Fer is right you should give it a reat, your doing good with time, and giving yourself a break can be the secret ingreadeant for killer ideas. anyhow its looking great. I like b as well it has more contrast and the feel is sexyer :twisted: I can almost envisions it all hapening to me, don’t tell my wife I said that… :buttrock:
keep it up hermano, Im loving it, y seguile dando duro al mate, es lo que nos hace diferentes, hmmm no se si eso es algo bueno pero q mas da :smiley: :beer:

#120

looks interesting :slight_smile:

Buena suerte mi hermano .
Saludos de peru
