Naga Siren - Siren of the Sea

Concept and Texturing by: Casondra Logan
Modeling, Rigging by: Yanni Hajioannou

[ Concept Idea ]
I wanted to use materials that can be found in the sea and not man made materials. So I thought of the things that would work as armor for Naga Siren, I came up with creatures, seaweed, shell like armor and coral.

Oh wow you guys jump quiet a bit ahead towards the end of the contest.
That being said I do like your concept a lot! Any Ideas for the weapons yet?

Jellyfish shield and Swordfish sword? No but seriously interested about the weapons since you stated it should not be man made.


Looking forward to an update!

KICKER

Very beautiful concept. It's going to be tough keeping all that under budget, but good luck! I can't wait to see it finished.

@Danbe

I was a bit late on making the concept. Since we are 2 people we should be able to finish this in time hopefully, he completes a piece and I texture it while he's working on another piece.

I thought a bit about the weapons, I wanted to do jellyfish as a part of the armor originally, but it would require A LOT of polygons and would need to be semi-transparent so I would be worried I'd just make it look like a mess. :P The weapons however will be non-man made. May include a creature on(as) the hilt and maybe coral or some kind of hard material that can be found in the sea. Could also be a real sword that is covered in coral, rust and sea creatures (think like the titanic or something similar to that).

@Kicker
I know it will definitely be hard to keep it under budget, there are a few things I am willing to get rid of in order to keep the overall design nice.

EVIL

sweet design, one problem you will face is that this character does not support the alpha channel, so you need to model the coral, and all finer details.

yannage

Oh god it doesn't support alpha channel ! fuck T_T

praetus

Don't fret too bad. It's a solid concept. I'm sure you two can figure out ways around the alpha channel.

foeffa

Very slick design! Slithice needed some love and this is ideal.

JohnArr

Cool! Can you integrate the octo a bit more, actually use the tentacles to strap armor plates down (like it's starting to do already).

I would also accept wearing it as a hat.

sadies

Really cool concept! Looking forward to seeing progress from you guys
