Competition #11 - nkoste

nkoste · 13-08-2007, 05:22 PM

Just saw this one today, but I'm in for sure. Nothing final yet, but my first thought was to do a metropolis structure which serves as a main structure, the one that creates workers and basic technology upgrades, that sort of stuff.

first sketch cloud cities (not affiliated with star wars):

Intresting take on the comp, looking forward to seeing this complete, i was alway a fan of the cloud city scenes in starwars.

Good luck

Thanks tkaza

Ok my decision is made. I'll be doing the troglodyte/murloc capital which is and elevated city made from scavenged raw materials, like clay and wood and with a thick layer of fungi and moss growing over it. The style will be similar to Armies of Exigo. I'm not that familar with the game, but it's the style I've chosen.

Here are some quick sketches. I'll be trying to do a more detailed one tomorrow.

Images of AoE. AoE incorporates underground tunnels in their maps and I'd like to do a structure that could be both above or below ground.

Base of the city sketch. Got some some buildings comming tomorrow.

City in a tree i like it
Allot of room to be creative with the foliage and the roots.

Looking forward to seeing the model

I think you can really bring this model out with a good normal.

nkoste · 15-08-2007, 04:23 PM

So my concept of the murloc capital is ready. I added lots of stuff and I'm happy with it.

I'm not going to do normals tkaza, just plain hand-painted texturing, but you're right it could be good. I'm just not good at it, so I think I'll chose a simpler project when I start learning

Great concept man! Realy looking forward to see this piece modeled and textured...

Great job on the concept. Has a nice mushy organic feel to it. Will be interesting to see how this one shapes up.

Good luck.

fantastic idea Nkoste, looking forward to this one

kinda reminds me of castle greyskull

Cool concept. Glad to see something organic. I love the gaping jaw on the tree and...are those mushrooms and a pumpkin I see on top? It'd be great to see this concept modeled.
