DWIII - 2D - gauss - Ossurik
polycounter lvl 18
just a warm up... a depiction of how the polycount army receives its artifacts
thumbnails to come.as most of you know, i was in thailand as of DW2 and did my best to provide support and crits, since i couldn't participate directly.
now i'm stoked to compete in the concept art category, but as with the first DW, i extend an open offer to anyone and everyone (on any team, even) for a free paint-over.
given no the team-ups stipulation, you won't be able to take the paintover exactly to completion, but it's a valuable part of being in an artist community, so i wouldn't want the rules to cripple that. artistically, that first DW was one of the most fecund and enjoyable periods for me.
so if you need help, give me a holler, and i'll hit you back with a paintover.
prof420 asked for a background-sized version in the GD DW thread so here it is:

edit: finally got a sketch up
his name is Ossurik (OSH-ur-ik), and he's a walking graveyard built into the bones of twin giants. better developed sketches and whatnot to follow.
continuing to develop and clarify.
color study and de-clarifying

a half attempt at some beksinski type elements but i know that i'm not going to be able to pull off any of that kind of stuff in 40 minutes, much less 3-4 hours. i might need to continue on the more skeletal approach (anatomy needs improvement for this concept to work) or just break down some of the different areas in more detail. but hey, thought you'd all like to know where i'm at now, even if i'm not so hot on tonight's work.

And I might want to take you up on that paint-over offer!
I'm really looking forward to seeing what you smash out this year. Its going to be epic. Good luck, mate.

Can't wait to see what you do for the war!it was a bummer about last year, but this year round theres a specific category for concept art, so i geuss i'll be seeing how a real 2d master works his WiPs.
Good luck!

you know I'm going to bust out some CARAZY colour schemes so I'm counting on your WTF R U DOIN posts!
awesome
the graveyard part will take a while to show properly, it's going to take a lot of work to indicate the kind of scale i have in mind.

I wanted to just drop this ref here in case you haven't seen it. Think Beksinski's freaky style is always inspirational.
i love the piece. ur shit's always awesome.
but i feel that this guy is _way_ too imbalanced. possibly due to the pose? i dnno. but at the moment, he looks like he could do with a pimpstick! =D [or a cane if u wish]
cant wait to see more awesomeness!
His lower legs seem a bit short, and his torso looks to short. His hips are right below his pecs, it doesn't look like there's space for a ribcage. The short torso worked perfectly in the second sketch, but it looks a bit awkward in this one.
