Competition #10 - Talon

[Talon]

I wanted to side-step the sci-fi or realism stuff with this and go for a more unusual style of pickup.

I'm aiming for something you might find in American McGee's Alice or other twisted/dark games of the same nature. Something a bit cliched gothic style.

It'd be either a simple health pickup or an invulnerability pickup (in that it'd freeze your heart and therefore your health).

With some little soul butterflies flittering around it, too. Aw.

[benclark]

thats a quality concept, a good idea but a really good drawing too

Nothing really to crit - maybe more butterflies , looking forward to this one

i dont really get the butterfly's but I like the concept you have got so far, looking forward to how you will do the frost

*butterflies not included.

Cool concept dude, sweet theme. I need some ideas like this!

[reeke]

Great concept talon, looking forward to seeing how this turns out

[Talon]

Quick update. Really just some tests in mudbox, experimenting to see what the best way to get this effect is. Evidently, it's heavily WIP

I'll probably start it again and maybe model in some of the ice crystals to the base mesh itself to make the mesh density more uniform and a little easier to work with.

I love that concept and I always liked butterflies but they might not fit with all that glowing stuff... maybe some blue fireflies

[Talon]

Cheers, dude.

Hmm, I'll see about the butterflies. I kinda wanted them to be butterflies for the fact they could mimic the heart icon across their wings. And as if they're a species that is attracted to/feeds off the energy the pick-up gives off.

Then stick to it cause I love em

definitely keep them butterflies, it'd take a lot away from the concept for me.
