EVIL

I'm fighting for polycount again, Conceptart this time.
Going to start with this tomorrow, don't know what I'm gonna do yet, might link one of the three environments to my dominance war 2 creature (dolor) somehow, maybe illustrating an environment on their homeplanet.

First sketch of the first environment.

I'm thinking about a sacrificial room with a huge monolyth hanging above it, attached to it is a huge spike which is sharp

Here is the formula:
Spike + sacrifice = gate to desired area.
Basicly; the energy from pain and death is used and channeled via the spike into the monolyth, in turn allowing a passageway to be opened.

You do realize you need to start from one of the exsisting concepts, right?

EQ: I believe he's doing a 2D submission. Thus doesn't have to base his off of one of the provided pieces of concept art.

Good start. gonna keep an eye on this and see how it turns out.

I think you should kill the symmetry as much as possible. cause I.. well.. there are many reasons. one of them is storytelling. it'd nice if there's a story going from one side to another side of the image and symmetry could screw it up. my opinion

EarthQuake - I don't, I'm doing the 2d/Concept Art side in this competition
man_o_mule - thanks
Kawe - Good point, I wanted to set the scene in my head first in the form of a small sketch -which is the sketch I posted above- and then try to see how I can make it as interesting as possible from a storytelling perspective. I have never been much of a visual storyteller, my pure illustration assets arent as strong as my concepting assets so thats a big point I'm trying to improve upon and hopefully this contest will be a milestone for that.
