Some early Sketches. Not very much so far.

think I have to try out the thumbnail/little silhouette technique too.

Oleg · on 02-17-2008 01:34 PM

looking nice !

audi100 · on 02-19-2008 10:36 AM

meh my tablet broke :/

Anyways here is some thumbnails hardly drawn together, gotta admit its quite fun drawing those, even with mouse [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Think i go with either nr. 3 (dude with magical wind horns) or 6. (nature invoker with a "grown" armor and those 3 legged creatures).

Jaco · on 02-19-2008 10:58 AM

Nice thumbs. 3 and 6 are good choices, but 4 is so damn cool!

BlackB · on 02-19-2008 05:46 PM

ha i like the 3 and 4 one, im sure u can pull something out of it!!

rollin · on 02-19-2008 05:55 PM

4 n 5

greenj2 · on 02-19-2008 07:30 PM

I'm liking #6 myself, particularly the idea of him summoning those little tripod creatures. It might look even cooler if he had a couple of little #4 creatures under his control instead. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Jackablade · on 02-20-2008 12:48 AM

The massive horn gets my vote.

audi100 · on 02-20-2008 06:42 AM

Thx for the input, Like that little fella too but don't quite knew what to do with him further.

After sleeping got a nice idea what to do with the character with the horn, so I will stick to it to the bitter end.

The Horn is ripped of from a giant fire deamon thousands of years ago. Laying around useless the inner magic never really vanished. With the upcoming era of magic some magicians managed to activate the sleeping power. Tataa the perfect flamethrower... . Its wielded by a warlord to burn the opposing forces to nothing but ashes

more to come [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

don't really understand everything on the last sketch.. but it seems to have a lot of potential! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] maybe try to sort out a bit more detail... but it could be a nice direction imo [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

MoP · on 02-20-2008 06:54 AM

hmm, the giant horn idea is very cool [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Divide By Zer0 · on 02-20-2008 07:01 AM

The horn is definitely a unique weapon.

Jaco · on 02-20-2008 07:09 AM

I'm lovin the size of that horn!

sama.van · on 02-20-2008 07:41 AM

4st with little pets of the 6st

Rick Stirling · on 02-20-2008 08:34 AM

Fantastic idea to push the artifact into such a massive part of the design.

jaalto · on 02-20-2008 01:31 PM

This is one of my favorites [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

JFletcher · on 02-20-2008 01:59 PM

i like 6 mostly, but after seeing the more detailed horn guy, i think i might change my mind. it's a really cool weapon concept, and that little back story works real well. (taking something from an slain epic creature as an intimidating battle wear/weapon)

audi100 · on 02-22-2008 10:37 AM

Thx for all the encouraging replys. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
@kakikukeko Will make some thumbs which go in that direction.

Some more progress.
Was thinking about a possible race, a friend of mine mentioned the last sketch would remind him of a Pan. Liked that Idea so tried to develop something in that direction.
Also thought a creature which is living in a environment with high humidity would be a nice contrast to the artifact.

Some approaches on the characters head.

And some Variations where the horn is wielded more like a weapon.

Liking 3 and 4 thus far, not sure if 4 is breaking the rules though (armored suit filled with water regulating the body temperature).

Want to do some more going in the direction in the previous post before deciding on anything final.

Poly-Jon · on 02-22-2008 11:16 AM

I like 4 it seems more fitting that it rests on the ground or near as it looks dam heavy ..

Leto · on 02-22-2008 01:32 PM

the horn really takes a lot of movement out of the character and turns him into more a static object. if you are really married to it (the horn), then i think making the character bulkier would help.

reminds me of my sousaphone days...

audi100 · on 02-24-2008 06:08 AM

@Hell Yea !: You are right nr.3 makes the horn look like an lightweight.

Ok making it bulkier actually did help, looks much more dominating [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. Thx for pointing that out Leto.

Made 2 more detailed concepts based on the first sketch

If i can't get anything better in the next 3 days i will work on the second variant. Really need the time for the modelling and texturing process. Especially texturing :P

Will probably add some sort of trophy:
- Necklace with Burnt robot heads.
- a Bag for the heads?
