Latest Update: Line Art or Model: Who are Sheeples

#2

Hi everyone, since this is my first challenge I’m planning on winning it. Good luck to all:)

Story: It’s a day at the office as any other or is it? The dooms day it’s happening as we speak outside of a window and sheeple are nervously working at their terminals. But there is hope, a light in the darkness of denial and Prozac abuse where one man stands up and tries to wake up the sheeple. But the force of consumerism ties their hands down to the desk, unwilling and scared to break fee sheeple await their doom.

Ok here are my sketches front to back

Hi again, this is a concept for my Sheeple character “supervisor”

#5

This is a concept character “Prozak Lady” she’s going to be placed in the foreground popping pills like mad.

#6

This is quick sketch of Sheeple with face studies
This is initial sketch for the “Supervisor”. Character looked too young so i changed him to more older guy, to make him look like he has some authority.

Hi Guero,

Please don’t use the CGWiki to host your images. That isn’t its purpose.

Thank you,

Another update, this time i brought some more detail, a lot of misteakes but what the hell.

I’m thiking of a drastic change but what the hell. My initial idea was to show this cheotic environment where everybody was doing their job while the natural disaster was happening outside of the window. This idea is somewhat disatached i’m thinking of changing the point of view from third person to first person view. I’m thinking that this will have the view more involved as if this is his world this is his sittuation and the viewer is in a sittuation where he is sitting at work whille natural disasters are happening around him.
Let me explain the images since they are rough ideas. The one on the left is the original it’s included for comparison, the one on the right is the new perspective. The way it shows is that the viewer is sitting by his computer pupping prozak and viox while watching his world go up in flames. The reflaction in the monitor will be in a form of a sheeple, since that’s what we are nothing more than sheeple. We see the world around us being destroyed by our actions but ignorant enough to do anything about it so the only solution we have is to do everything except to help ourselves. The guy screaming at us is the one that see the world the way it is but to us he is the crazy one, telling us that the end is happening right now. Everybody else knows that something is wrong but they decide to put their heads down in shame or take the easy way out by ending their lifes. This is how i see the world today in the news, internet, newpaper, movies or tv natural disasters are happening around the world the blame is shifted on anything and everything “missisipe bridge collapse was the effect of a piggen poo build up on the bridge”. Give me a break. But it doesn’t matter as long as people have their coushy jobs and bills to pay nobody will do anything about it. We are too lazy to scared and to ignorant to help ourselves. But there is solution and it is provided to us in a form of a little pouder pill prescribed to us for any reason they can think of “are you bored sometimes, can’t get good night sleep, your body is sluggish, putting on more weight we have sollution for you and it’s only $19.99 for the first time customers order now and we’ll throw in yearly supply of prozak to calm you down. Call now this offer will expire when enough people sue us.” But again there is nothing that we can do about it so let’s pop one more prozak and lets enjoy the ride of our life. Question is who is ridding us? Enjoy.

Hey Derek, nice sketches and really interesting concept ! :thumbsup: I like the “eye fish lens” perspective in your 3D previz, that can make a strange and cool scene :smiley: Nice work mate and looking forward for more updates!
