[Riot Art Contest] - Skyerzz - Quinn and Valor

Skyerzz

So after a lot of thought I decided to go with Quinn and Valor. I really like her motif. It is gonna be hard to come up with something that can compair to the awesome skins she already has, but I'll try.

Just look at this one tho! *drool*

Skyerzz

Here are some quick really rough ideas done during my lunch break. When I pick one I'll design her weapon and Valor. They have some similar features, but I'll flush that stuff out more when I get some time.

:Forest Curse set:

Her brother didn't loss his life by accident, The Forest Claimed. For this skin's theme I thought of Valor (her Eagle) as a Cursed bird. He is described to be "a rare and beautiful bird long believed extinct." So I decided the the forest spawned him and cursed her because The forest hunger for more souls.

I dunno I'm just making stuff up lol.



Harpy Queen set:

Celebrated for her success on the battlefield, tales of the great warrior dubbed "The Harpy Queen" spread throughout the land.

Again making stuff up XD Currently I think her colours are to close to the Phoenix Skin, so I plan to explore a different palette.

pizzapality

I'm so excited you're doing Quinn! I love Quinn so much and I'm happy she's being represented.

sgtscience

Nice concepts! I like both, and for their dnd style references too. Pulling from harpy is a nice touch. I kinda like the first one more, but I think the pallette is a bit similar to the posted riot image... Maybe throw in some greens for a more traditional ranger style, or take the curse part further and bring it to the shadow isles and twisted treeline....

vAp

OOO perfect idea!

OrganizedChaos

I love the costume idea! It feels super fitting for the character

stefersonrocha

Sorry guys, I posted in the wrong place

beefaroni

Dude you gotta make a new thread!! Don't jump in another guys contest thread.

Lazar

lol!! ^^^

slosh

This guy is posting his thread in everyone else's thread...wtf?!

Skyerzz

I decided I would go with the Forest Curse set. I've grab some ref of haunted/cursed colour palette's to help me when I get to that point. For now I've got her body "done." She isn't gonna be showing much skin so I don't know if it would be worth taking this any further, aside from fixes to anatomy and proportions of course.

slosh

Looks like a nice solid anatomy blockout...well done! Looking forward to updates...

Skyerzz

I'm running outta time O.o I'm happy enough with what I have so far so I'm gonna get started. I know I still have Valor to design but he is gonna be a Bad Ass Harpy Eagle. I don't think I'll be putting very much armor on him, maybe some leg/foot gear and a scarf-esk thing. I have ideals already for her crossbow. I'll be working on that design during breaks. Colours...yah I'll get around to that too. So much work!

D_Wall

like the concept, get some good work out.
Is it true you're posting your thread in other peoples thread? ಠ_ಠ

mrnunez

Like it, specially the KISS make up!

Dantert

Cool! Can't wait to see more

Skyerzz

@D_Wall It was stefersonrocha that had posted his/her work in my and a few other peoples threads for whatever reason.

I'm happy to hear that some people are digging this. I hope to have some more to show by the end of the weekend.

Skyerzz

So I've been blocking out the design in 3D, and I realized that she doesn't go without her headgear. So I tried blocking out some shapes. Do any of these look appling to you guys?

MrHobo

I think B is the most interesting right now. Maybe a piece of leather or something int he center? Maybe a few more variations of B to test.

Turret

I am a fan of A or E, the center beak shape sells it for me. F could work too, but D I think would be too busy.

Awesome work so far, subbing to this.

Dantert

The B is the most intersting one IMO, awesome progress so far!

Skyerzz

So I'm going with B for the Headgear, the majority likes it including myself. I tried changing her face paint to compliment it. I've been struggling with hear falconry gauntlet, but I've landed on something that I'll be happy with. At the last minute I added some bone shapes to her left shoulder, because she usually has something there. C&C always welcome.

Later Dayz!

D_Wall

I gotta say i like the color scheme. I don't want to doom my sight to it but it's not often that green and red can go together and not scream christmas haha. can't wait to see this more refined

Flaxor

Oh nice, this is turning out beautifully!

Skyerzz

Sorry for the delay. Been crazy month since I found out that I gotta move to a new city at the end of this month. That said I'm in between jobs for the next week and a half so aside from doing a lot f packing I'll be spending time on this model.
As always crits and comments are welcome!

Turret

Nice, looking good. I bet it took a while to place all those feather pieces. XD

erroldynamic

Nice job! Love all the feather work and the arm piece/bracer. Her lower leg/ankle area looks a bit oddly shaped.

Hezelbeef

Looking really NICE...nice design, nice idea, nice modeling...just....

Skyerzz

Thanks guys So I came up with some new shoes for her, and I filled in the middle of her Head gear. Better?

StephLee

She is looking pretty awesome, just saying

Strategisto

Great design and sculpting! I'm glad you go for more complex vest design.

New shoes are cool, but IMO right glove and sholderpad is a little bit off for now. And having a buckle on the belt would be nice:)

Overall it's really solid design, keep it up!

art.Rishabh

Wow.! great design.

haZe

AAH love the direction! I'm curious if the heel/toe bits are necessary to sell the piece... It could just be their value difference to her clothes in the sculpt throwing me off, but I'd almost rather just see some strappy-cool detail in her boots with fur/feathers poking out, as I preferred the previous look sans bone. I think getting the forms of her feet spot-on would go a long way to nailing it down in either case. Can't wait for more progress!

andyvargas

ugh!! this is looking totally rad! :'D

D_Wall

I'm glad it wasn't you who was posting in other peoples threads...cz this came out awesome, and i have no qualms loving your work! xD

you went for Harpy right? cz if you did you have a awesome creepy threatening vibe in the head area with the proportions between her headgear to face and then the eye color with deep eye shadowing...makes it look hollow in the most awesome way!...

so yeah...love it haha. I hope you put alittle more variation in her color scheme! Just alittle would be nice-some browns or tan's maybe in just the right places...

art.Rishabh

Looks great (Y)
