Competition #14 - primativ

primativ · 07-15-2008, 06:17 PM

This is my first post here, so hi!

Great community you have here.

I have some sketches for the competition and I am having trouble picking the best one to go forward with. I don't want to do something too simular to what has already been started so if you have a favorite let me know, or which one to avoid

A little explanation to the sketches: The 1st is a dobson fly sniper. The 2nd is a wasp commando and a sawfly "larva tank" basicaly. 3rd is a suicide bomber fly and some more wasp sketches. 4th is a dobson fly heavy gunner. 5th is a wasp grunt with a sketch of a possible armored exoskeleton; not sure if that breaks the rules.

Man I am late to this contest, I need to start modeling soon.

Thanks
Primativ

Hi! welcome to the boards

Hey dude, nice concepts. I avoid concepts, my vision is better than my sketching abilities, but that's no excuse

For me, the (edit- very first drawing), with a rifle, would just be pure awesome. I love his shape, dynamic and powerful. I can just see him in a pose with 3 hands steadying that rifle, standing in the dead center of a war zone, because he's too tough to need cover

I also like the larvae artillery, very creative, but I don't know it will have the same visual impact.

Good luck

Thanks for the comments Ultra and Dangermouse!

So thats two for the larva and one for the dobsonfly sniper.

Lets hear from some more I need to get crackin today!

I decided that the larva was the strongest sketch and jumped right into modeling. I am already at 900 polys so I have about 100 to go for the face and whatever other details I might add.

Added the base colors to it.

I wasn't too happy with the ammo pouches so I gave him rocket implants instead.

I have started to texture map the bug. I am using a normal, diffuse, and specular map. There are 6 lights in the scene 2 casting shadows.

I am still undecided on an enviroment, any suggestions?

Messed with the colors and added some bumps.

I changed the guns up a bit, made them skinny and painted the base black to blend into the larva better. I lengthened his hind legs to be more accurate to the reference.

Does this look better than the previous version?
