Steampunk Myths and Legends Entry: Adam Richards

#21

Been thinking about how my steampunk gladiator armor and weapons work. I wanted to give each gladiator a portable ‘Forge’ that would be giving them a supply of heat and steam to there weapons and armor.

I thought one good place to put a portable forge is in the shield. So i designed this one. It straps to the fore arm, and when you pull the triggers a red hot blade “heated by the forge” springs out to stab your oponent.

In addition theres also red hot ‘smash plates’ that you could use to bash someone in the face with if you got the chance. Im having a lot of fun thinking up devious weapons made of heated metal. hehehe… Its a rough sketch as im trying to get to the final product as soon as possible. but the final designs will be quite shiny and ornate.

so explored some color comps.

Think ill go with #1 which is basically a “300” palette. #2 has a nice range of color but drops the mood. #3 I played around with shifting some hue, but it just made it less successful.

cant wait to get to painting this thing for real. :stuck_out_tongue:

Yep for me the first one brings in most of drama too indeed.
Great sketches!!!
MAybe opening up your canvas a bit more to the right could give some space to bring in the royal vip lounge somewhere far in the background.The theatres vip lounge.For me the primary character still feels a tiny lil bit too central.Just some thoughts ofcourse.

taking some advise on the composition. I Like it a lot more now. seems more intense, and more cinematic. Thanks all for your suggestions!!

Hi there!
Nice concept coming. I like first color composition too :slight_smile:

Loving it so far!

:buttrock:

There ain’t no school like the old school. :smiley:

One thing though…does this count as a legend or myth, considering it is actual historical fact?

#28

Wow, I’m loving this idea and the view feels so dynamic and full of action. Looking forward to more updates :smiley:
