Polycount - Generals - [LegionaireJoe & Mit Gas]

[LegionaireJoe]

Together, we forge a NEW FUTURE for the LEGIONS OF POLYCOUNT!

Mit Gas (Benedikt) will be working on concepting and textures.

LegionaireJoe (Kris) will be working on concepting, modelling, & rigging.

We fused our ideas together this morning, and we proudly present...

TROMMELKORPS

This general uses music for propaganda, psychological warfare versus the enemy, and boosting troop morale!

[Mit Gas]

Before you ask, yes, he has a whole hi-fi unit incorporated into his sexy body. I figured Trommelkorps would be one of the minions of Cyberdolf. And just wait for his guitar!

[Xenobond]

YESSsssssss!

[skankerzero]

yes! that's awesome! I love it!

[Mark Dygert]

Outstanding! We have a robtic demonorization officer hehe

[e_x]

Oh, this is good! /images/graemlins/crazy.gif

[MoP]

Excellent start! Good to see you posting again too Kris /images/graemlins/smile.gif
Can't wait to see how this guy will shape up!

[aesir]

Hey kris! That robot is fucking crazy looking.

[killingpeople]

it looks rad. what's with the swastikas?

[Mit Gas]

They were just an idea to further illustrate how evil he is. But in the next version it will be replaced with the polycount logo to illustrate that he is even more evil! Uwa ha ha ha.

It's nice to see that people dig goold old Trommelkorps though. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

i'm digging on the concept. it's a fresh idea. though, if you don't mind the suggestion, it needs to be greener /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Jhotun]

waaaaa! great concept /images/graemlins/smile.gif I wish i could have something like that! For sure he is going to kick some asses!

Good luck!

PD: Maybe more brutal boots?

[rooster]

ace! like it /images/graemlins/smile.gif Can just imagine in the heat of battle this guy kickin out the beats at full volume /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[Cubik]

I would replace the claws with two speakers ala Megaman to get some extremly directional speakers for soundblasting enemies.

yes, KP is right. Right now it has too much *gasp* <font color="red"> red and gold. </font>

[Mit Gas]

fear not, he will be greener. I also thought about making is face to be taken off and reveal a single brain under it plus make a gigantic spealer as an addon for his mouth for extra sounds - thing is, we can't give him speakers as hands as Joe wants him to club enemies down with a gigantic guitar he of course can't play properly. And I feel the same, Trommelkorps will be awesome when clubbing puny CG chatters to death! Yes, he might be a bit retarded concept but he's a dumb bad guy and not ll bad guys from polycount can be smart and evil!

[BoBo_the_seal]

Very cool direction. He does feel extremely top-heavy though. Maybe beef up his lower leg/feet area. Give him a solid base to stand on. Actually it would be bad ass if you gave him 4 legs. Use the ones you have as his front legs and do an inverted set as his back legs.

Looks like a big brown giant competition ey, mitgas and joe.

[Mit Gas]

Trommelkorps has the POWER OF LOVE though! He'll play it so loud and often that you'll beg him to stop it! UWAHAHAHA. Good old Trommelkorps...erm, I mean evil old Trommelkorps, yesssss.

I'll post an update but my mouse seems to have died and it's difficult to constinue the concept or do any graphical work right now - either my mouse freezes after so many minutes or it goes completely crazy, opening random programs etc. and is generally out of control. depends how I connect it. as it's no worm or trojan and I don't think my newer wacom suddenly started to mess my mouse up (I tried it with my wacom disconnected), I think I need a new mouse - for new, fresh Trommelkorps power!

I'm currently adding stuff like buttons on his arms so that he can manage his playlist etc. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[MrD]

badass

[kite]

Oop, that colour must have wedged in my head after seeing this concept, sorry - it was an honest accident.
Needless to say i won't be sticking with it if i wind up making joe, he'd probably be more khaki/camo.

[Slash]

Haha, i just imagined something. Imagine what would happen to the enemy's morale if he played David Hasselhoff schlagers at 200 decibel all day long. :P


Cgchat scout: The enemy is advancing!
Cgchat general: What can you see?
Cgchat scout: I cant make it out.. wait, its one of their generals.. Listen...
*A faint sound grows into a thundering roar: I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR FREEEEEEEEEEDOM, I'VE BEEN LOOKING SO LOOOOOONG!*
Cgchat general: Oh shit! RUN!!

[Mit Gas]

We all know Germans dig Hasselhoff - so Trommelkorps naturally would as well! You see, I seriously doubt anyone can mess with Trommelkorps because as soon as he wants you to suffer, he plays whatever music you can't stand!

kite: no problem at all, i never thought your idea was influenced by this, just a coincidence - there are only so many cool colors for bruteish robots-things. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

*A faint sound grows into a thundering roar:
You always say that love - it hurts
You never thought the beat would end this way
But if the magic’s lost between us, between us
Then there’s nothing, no there’s nothing to say*
Cgchat general: omg! boy george? it's our song! *begins making out with scout*

[Mark Dygert]

Awesome concept! I do agree that he is a touch top heavy. Maybe give him some big sub woofer feet. He could use them like jets hahaha

I like the idea of him using sound/sound waves as a weapon. He should be able to lay waste to city blocks with his mastery over sound. Kind of like the guys in Kung-Fu hustle who shot swords out of thier funky keyboard guitar thing.

[Slash]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHA!

*gasp*

Seriously, rofl. The CGscatters need to see that.

Killingpeople, you're killing me.
