Competition #14 - syros

[Syros]

Hail to all game artists, i think this would be a nice introduction for me, count me in!
I will work on " Dynastes",
i have seen some artist have started on this insect, but i will put force to be far away from those concepts!
here is the first round concept! tell me your idea and answere the Q i have wrote on the image please!(there was my unknowns when i was drawing!!)
good luck every one, i think i would run out of time on this one!

PS: i think this challenge is very hard, as i know lots of pro artist walks around here .

[avdoot]

your overall concept idea is not bad but what i think is that your concept lacks something..dont go with the big eyes..what i think..gold painted body with the design u showed is good..but giv him a main single weapon and one small weapon..your character looks like an traditional/contemporary warrior...so better u search some concepts and add some more features..may b u can show that he has lost one of his legs/arms in battle..it wd look good n also u can save some polys too..well thats my idea..its up to u..

[Kinrove]

I really like your concept, he seems he is ready to cast a spell
I prefere the version with small eyes and the wizard ! (according to me in this pose he looks like that)

Moreover, I'll keep on, working on this version because even without weapons and etc..
We see directly he is a wizard, so you won't loose polies in weapons and loads unless you want to add him a staff or something else.

But what I say is I LIKE THAT

[Syros]

avdoot - man you got good eyes for detail and commenting!, nice ideas you have said, thanks. read below lines for what i decided right now!!
Baida - that "magic" idea was the best! i can see a magic ball, glowing between his two upper hands, and i think his two middles hands (or one of them) were cur off, or better than that he had to sacrifice his hands for the spell (magic) gods have given him!!! and at the joining part we can see the scar or the wound just like the color of his magic ball! what you think guys!
I think doing some modeling instead of making story is a better thing to do!

[avdoot]

yeah you are right the 'magic' idea is good..but without stories your character wouldn't seem alive..story is a must..whatever it is..i like the idea..go with it..waiting to see it in 3d...

best of luck...

[avdoot]

And thanks for the comments Syros..

[Syros]

And here is my low poly, hope you like it, it is 994 tris, and I don know how to manage his magic ball, or what ever magic accessory he should have with only 6 tris, i should omit at list 6 other polys to make a ball and let the shader I wanna make do the rest.
So any proportion and shape suggestion is very pleased and admirable befor i start Zb for his normalmap!
Thanks guys.
