DWIV - 3D - Hexahedron - Ereshkigal Demon Queen of Darkness


#1

This is the concept for the character I’ll be doing for my first Dominance War. Actually I must admit I feel a bit depressed after seeing so much great work around. But this is a great opportunity for me to learn more. I hope you can give me critics and comments since they’ll be more than welcome for the development of my work in progress.

Thanks in advance,

Cheers,

LATEST UPDATE MAY 1rst

Very interesting how you placed her on the back of the tail and not in the front. Although if you cut her tail off she dies a fast death. I would just make the front more menace and dangerous so as to not allow for and easy defeat. And place her more secluded in the back of the tail. But overall very interesting.

I like it - it’s a strong concept that will translate well into 3D.
:beer:

My only crit is that it seems that the detail could be better spread out. The coolest part is the female at the end of the scorpion tail, so I’d make that a bigger part of the whole model, and perhaps resize some of the other elements to increase the aggressiveness as well, like the legs.

I made a quick edit to yours pick:

As I said, your details and idea are strong, I just think the balance could be a bit stronger. :slight_smile:

Thanks for the comments and I see your point. I like the idea and it’s true, it felt too small considering its the most important part of the model.

WoodenPuppet, thanks for the comments, I’ll see how I can protect the front much more, and as Dargon suggested, I’ll be making the tail shorter.

Thanks again!

Cheers,

James


#5

Yes. Very good concept :slight_smile: Actually I think yours and my character could make a good team.


#6

Thanks for the comments Martin, and the demons will conquer!
lol

So I reworked on my concept as Dragon suggested me, and I liked it much more.

This is the update. Critics and comments will make my day.

Cheers,

James

Sweet concept!! Looking forward for more WIP’s


#8

Great sketch.:thumbsup:

keep it up:beer:


#9

At first look i thought it was 3D and then realised that was ur concept sketch, i am wondering if your concept sketch itself is like this then wonder how the 3D version will be… no doubt that your texturing will be kick ass…wow! the last update is really great… nice staff design too, waiting for the updates…


#10

Thanks for your comments guys! They are really appreciated. I’ll try to come up with new wips as soon as possible.

Cheers.


#11

I really love your idea, you should pimp her out with more armor, make her more dangerous looking :smiley: Her form is really beautiful.


#12

Thanks for the c&c Michelle.

:slight_smile:


#13

…fantastic concept you have developed there. It has an outstanding originality and shows an ideal combination of creativity and sense!


#14

Thanks KIIA for your words. I appreciate it a lot. Hope to post more wip soon.
Thanks again everyone for your comments. They are very helpful.

Cheers.

Very nice! I like the fact that her head/mask resembles the scorpion stinger, and I also like the way that hand covers her breast. And her bellybutton eye too. I’d love it if it had some hair in its joints and legs like some spiders do.
Looking forward for updates!

hey alex… awesome cocnept… loved the whole female scorpion thing… the second modified version looks even more deadly, the one with the shorter tail… only concern that i have is how is she goin to defend herself if she is attcked from the back… as i c it there is nothin that she can use to attack someone at the back… and also it ll take time for her to turn all the way around since she has to rotate the entire body… I may be wrong but thats wat i felt… But great job…


#17

GaeasHerald, thanks for the comments pal. As for the hair, that’s a nice idea. It would look nastier that way.

Hellgaurdian, really good point you bring up. I’ll have to go back to concept table and come up with a solution lol. Thanks pal.

Awesome concept. This is something different for sure. Always like to see something different being shown and used.

I’d change one thing though.

In the initial sketch that shows the daemon and her staff you show the tail being considerably shorter. I think it looks way better in that form. The long stinger tail is interesting, but it’s a little more difficult to associate the humanoid part with the scorpion part at a glance. On the other hand however, if you place the humanoid section too close to the scorpion section it may be misconstrued that she is riding the scorpion, rather than IS the scorpion.

Great concept, looking forward to seeing more.


#19

The concept is amazing, both for your drawing skill and the idea.

Maybe a “silk skirt” in the back could improve the “Queen Style”.

I hope his “body” doesn’t shake the tail like a dog when he’s happy. ^^

Sepulverture: Thanks for your comments. I’ll try to check the good size of the tail while modelling I guess. Since either too short or too long aren’t suitable. Thanks again pal.

Irvin: Good idea man, I didn’t put enough effort into the armour and clothing. So I’ll see what I can do. Thanks again. And no, hopefully her body won’t be shaking the tail otherwise she is a goner lol

Cheers.
