Polycount - Generals - [Dfacto]

dfacto

Lets try this again.

General Dentalwork

A general of the golem armies, he is a floating(?) reaction mass composite capable of extruding any part of himself into any shape and sending it any distance away from himself on the fly. The material he is made of is extremely tough and has a built in matrix that acts as a super advanced AI, yadda yadda yadda. Bottom line is he's smart, deadly, and freaky.

Problem is, I don't want a "tortured soul" freaky like the first pic, but the second seems rather amorphous. I'm aiming for more of an imposing look, but having trouble doing it while keeping his reaction mass bulk, and avoiding the ultra cliche "superhero badass" pose and proportions. Not sure what I'll do.

Initial sketch:


More work, with floating possibility and random squiggles. Only face is worked on:


I should also maybe note that this kind of concept is WAAAYY outside the range of my modelling skills, but I guess that's just too bad for me.

It's hard to make out his form in both those sketches. But the second one seems like a better idea. Looks more interesting and original to me.

dfacto

Yeah, it was kinda messy. In fact, I'm not quite sure what some of him will look like even after some more work.

But at least now he has GUTS! Or at least intestinal looking things.

how about millions of spikes lining the hole all pointing towards an energy ball in the center that he can control at will to vapourise people?

dfacto

Sounds like as good a plan as any. :P

But here's what I hope will look super cool when modelled and mapped. When he extrudes parts of himself, the material that is being manipulated heats up and starts glowing.

rooster

hah if you dont want my million spiky energy ball idea then I'll keep it!

ps how about a giant eye that shoots lasers in the shape of big knives

dfacto

Hmm... dunno about an eye, but the knife shaped projectile idea isn't too bad...

Would those count towards the polycount though?
