My life has gotten pretty busy because of school lately, but I haven't dropped out of the contest! I was not able to achieve what my original plan was,but I want to get something done for this contest regardless. Better late than never to post wips I suppose haha.
This is what I have so far. My plan is to show David, just an average guy who lucked out in having this grand adventure on an alien planet, and the creature that he meets in the story talking to each other about why he's there. My idea for the alien is that he's a cyborg and his lower half is powered by a floating crystal. I'm going for a slightly stylized look that will be more apparent in later wips this week. XMD brushes has been used so far on David's clothes and the alien's robotic arms.
Finished! This is my first time doing a contest and a lot could be improved, but I'm glad I did it!
My render takes places after the initial story. David has gone through the initial shock of being on this new planet and the alien that he meets is showing him around his city. The alien is a war veteran who achieved royalty status when he almost lost his life in a devastating battle where he saved the lives of millions alone.
@pmiller001 - Oh wow, I actually didn't think about Jojo at all but I totally see it. For my inspiration I gathered images from Pinterest on alien ZBrush concepts and art deco statues. At first, David and the alien were much more geometric in shape. My initial plan was to keep them blocky to keep the art deco feel. I lost it at some point but I'm still fairly happy with how they turned out.
@RavenA It thought the same thing about keeping them blocky! but decided against it last minute. I like the poses in the final render. Theres some good character going on. Nice job!

This contest was very fun! Congratulations to all that finished!
I'm getting a huge Jojo's bizarre adventure vibe from this. What was your inspiration ?
