My entry is "Sarah the Shadow Summoner". Story goes - She is a young girl in the future who posseses the ability to summon evil shadow type entities from cast shadows. She is linked to these entities and they are an extension of herself.
----------------------------------------------------------
Update

Here's the begining of progress on the model.

Umm... the thread title should be YOUR name, not the character's name. :P

Also, how is this going to be a 31st century character? Will she be holding a BFG?

she's not the "whole" character, the character is an alien controllering her like a anglerfish with it's lure. It's suposed to represent the deception the character uses.

Interesting.
But when i read the brief i think of a huge desert with lots of soldiers just running up and killing eachother.
This guy would be helpless.. He uses a little girl to fight.. nuff said

Where's the concept?

welcome to polycount. it's a cool idea. it's a shame you decided against creating a few quick doodles. having some ideas to evolve or mix with one another is very helpful in guaranteeing an aesthetic conception worth spending days modeling and texturing.

it's hard to give any type of helpful comments noting i'm not entirely sure what else you have solidified in your mind. but i think before you get too far along, consider these words in the brief:

Judging will be based on:

- Popularity of your character. Does your character look cool? Does your character look like he/she/it can easily destroy any form of opposition?

- Regardless which team you are on, it's your job to prove to the judges that your character has what it takes to win this war!

[/ QUOTE ]

in your description you define that sarah, "consumes and devours it's prey as a true "shadow"." while creating your shade here, i'd try to define the how in this. i think that's an area that will help flesh out what i think the judges will be looking for when looking over the entries.

- Any preliminary sketches, concepts, and paintings that you created to help you understand how to make your character, can be shown here. Squeeze everything onto this one sheet.

not sure if a concept is required, but it is implied.. *shrugs*

very interesting
but whats her weapon??? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

what can fit the description of a shadow better than a shadow, literally?

I never saw anything posted about a desert?

I'll have it up once get my sketches to a scanner. This model is kind of a concept as well I might go a different direction. I'm just going to let the character evolve until the end of the contest.

whats blue dragon?

Me and Steve, think that is the best idea we have seen so far, who cares if it isn't a super soldier? the idea is pure genius.

i think its a genius idea, taking it at a completely different angle to everyone else and its produced something brilliant, i really wanna see this finished
