ESCAPE- On Wings of Sorrow - Gillmeister74

gillmeister74

hey guys so here is the rough concept.


A group of nomadic Harpy like creatures (Avian's?) are trying to escape a grizzly death at the hands of feral goblin like creatures.



the female Avian's wing is severely injured, which prevents her from flying away with her loved ones. She instead takes a stand to give the others more time. Her mate and their daughter have no choice but to take off. They look on helplessly as they witness the mother's final moments of sacrifice.

I am so stoked for this dawgs! more to come unless it doesn't?

there should be 4 character models total

1.the mother avian
2.the father avian
3.the daughter avian
4.little goblin creatures - with different armor and weapons

I am still working on ideas for the color scheme and environment elements but they should be fleshed out more soon.

Lord Fryingpan

Nice idea, I like the melancholy of the scene and I hope you'll manage to keep the simple semi cartoony anatomy you gave your characters. Anyway, this could be a very nice piece.

ScudzAlmighty

Pretty cool, lovin the fat little gobin guys:)

Looking forward to more.

Damn, really looking forward to seeing this done man. The mother could make for some amazing poses

Byren

Really nice idea, I'm looking forward to seeing the end product

I think its great, escape and selflessness, it paints a heavy picture. From a game point of view is this like a cut scene where you play the guy being carried away or else? What's your Point of view I guess is what I'm asking.

starting the sculpts in Zbrush, but still not much to show. In the meantime here is an additional character sheet fleshing out the family.



Hang10 - the game would be like Journey where you are traveling from point A to point B, with a little bit of stealth and a sliver of combat. Essentially their goal is to make it to there new "home" wherever that is. This scene would take place in a prologue/tutorial segment that would show the many perils of this pilgrimage. You would switch between the mother and father, and the prologue would end in the mothers death.

the main game would take place years later when the daughter is all grown up, her father having passed away years prior. Her goal would be the same as her deceased family, to find a safe haven in a dangerous world. She would meet others like her on her travels and the game would end with her eventually finding the safe haven.

update on Leah aka female avian. Current render of the sculpt from Zbrush. Wings are being done separately and should be the same wings that the husband (Tahl) has.



should have more progress uploaded soon.

Looking good so far! Very interesting idea. I kind of miss some of the softer features from the concept on the wife. Her smile lines are kind of strong, I like the smoothness from the painting. Can't wait to see what's next!

Daven

Looking awesome man. Sub'd!

gillmeister74

Safemilk - you are totally right. I am going to try to smooth things out. I want it to stay smooth and stylized.
Daven - Thanks Bro!

akacg

wings and feathers were always really hard to create for me I hope they look awesome.

Lord Fryingpan

Real nice job, although I might say you should rework th dad's concept a bit, the wing-chest junction seems a bit odd to me, and it could be nice if the transition were a bit mor smooth.

gillmeister74

progress. Still a TON of polishing left to do. I've been busier then I thought as of late, but I did manage to get Leah's model underway. All the while working on props and other character sculpts.








alternate hairstyle for Leah

jsargent

cool idea, I really like the character designs too but its odd that they have clothes and jewellery but no hands How did they make that stuff! Looking forward to seeing how this goes

gillmeister74

jsargent - They got little hands where there feet should be, they made the pendant and small trinkets using them But they probably traded to get the clothing. More progress!

Leah is about done,





Goblin is well underway and should be done soon.

I really want to finish on time. Here's hoping!!
