Let me explain our idea some more.
Background story
"Dovrik. An old human colony in the Aegian System. After the outbreak of the Aegian war, chaos broke through, and the planet was abbandoned by colonizers, who went either back to a wasteland Earth or drifted away in space.
The Human Colonization Council (HCC) reunited more than once to decide upon the planet's fate: since all the mineral resources had been explored, nothing was left to be done with the land,
when the idea of a maximum security prison came up. Works for the construction of Hades Maximum Security Center started as soon as possible, and with time it became known as the last place you'd like to pass your days in.
Time passed. The HCC was running low on money and resources, and Hades was gradually abbandoned to its own destiny. Prisoners would be sent there only to know that they would never get out of there. It was a death sentence on its own, no matter how much you wanted not to be there.
Drenn, a long hunted murderer, was finally caught and sent in. Charged of high treason during the Aegian wars, Drenn was found guilty and condemned to life in Hades. He passed his first few days in one of the cells, to be sent right after that to one of the hanging cages of the Pit. Striving to survive, he managed to survive that torture, drowning in pouring water that comes thru the tunnels as hard as solid rock.
It was the final drop. Upon glaring the starry skies of Dovrik through the tunnel, known as the only connection between prisoners and the outside world, Drenn decided he wouldn't stay there any longer. Now, only his instincts and love of life can take him out of hell. The only obstacle between life and death, and his desperate escape, is a tight sealed iron grate that covers the pit."
What am I likely to be seing?
The scene setting is a high security prison, carved in the rock.
The looks of the prison is a mix of medieval and sci fi - as confusing as it might sound, try to envision it as an old torture prison, with technology to make it safe.
In this unique setting, Drenn is a prisoner, awaiting for the opportune moment to make for freedom.
Team components:
Paul Jackson (tech artist / generalist)
Rodrigo Maldonado (environment artist)

i still don't have a clue, what your scene will be showing. someone lockpicking/hacking a door? someone dangling from skyhigh cages?
we updated the description, trying to give a glimpse of what we're going for. Stay tuned for more, we're working hard on it
High poly, low poly. 396 tris. two texture versions, still undecided, but since the cave tends more towards the gray one, i think ill keep that one. what do you guys say?
stay tuned for more

just for the sake of wasting time and having fun :P
after looking at my entry for some time i`ve decided to maybe remake my char.
i will most likely go for the look of snake pliskin lol
but i will see how quick i can turn him around as i can only create for a few hours in the evenings.
also have re tweaked the scenes
hahaa many thanks,
it is always appreciated, specially on here as the talent in these forums is astonishing.
i feel a little out of my league as i`m not in the industry and i`m self taught
Also time is scarce as i only get a few hours in the evening if i`m lucky.
haha i'm self taught as well
I love the idea! Keep it up!
small update on pliskin
next ill re uvmap him and then textures , hopefully in time to get him into the scene somewhere
