Nightmare is one of my favorite fighting characters of all time. Gonna make him with a little sci-fi twist. Who knows it might go too far and turn into something completely different. Don't feel like making a chick this time.

I was wondering who was going to pick nightmare! I'm glad its you, Slip!

As soon as I saw the title I thought 'Hard surface sci-fi twist incoming!' :P

Thanks for support although I havent really started yet, can't force myself to get up from the couch (too much meat consumed), so instead I did a small research regarding this character.

So, what makes Nightmare a Nightmare? Despite some drastic changes to design that occured to him with each new sequel, there's always a few key features that remained almost untouched. Here


so could I try to replace those by some tech shit?


On serious note, I'm leaning toward more iconic and clean design (from 2nd game I believe), the top-left, because latest one from SC4 little messy and whole mid-section is missing, which I find disturbing


At this point I dont even know should I bother concepting, it's all right here, minor changes to silhouette and plate pieces to make him look more mech/robotic

Disturbing in a non-nightmarish way?

I am really looking forward to what you do with it, I expect nothing short of spectacular!

Fucking badass!

Dude I challenge Cyber Nightmare to a duel with Cyber Chun Li when we are finished. Pose them up in a old school Mortal Kombat versus fighting Stance!!

Great Idea in terms of the research. I was doing the same but didn't think to lay it out as greatly as you did. I'm glad you're going with SC2 NIghtmare, he was the best. 3 was pretty good too though. Really excited about what you're doing.

awesome approach to break down the character . Though you mention you prefer a clean look will this live up to a nightmarish look?

I mean this:

It looks cool in game, but I'd like to avoid this level of complexity. Though I fucking love the toes!!!

OK makes more sense now. So it more about using relative elements in the design than a mathematical equation of garbage. cool
