Dominance War II - RazorBladder
polycounter lvl 18
March 1st
Been a while and unfortunately work & social-life take priority. Here's an update on the head, I should be able to pimp a WIP of the body tomorrow.
I've got the ears, eyes and some further defining features to do then I'm calling it done for now.
Feb 17th
A quick 30 minute start on mudboxing the head. Lotta work to do but I like the direction that it's going.
Feb 15th
Here's a possible progression for the top left concept, a bit more of a "don't fuck with me" vibe I think.
The skull variant of KP's greentooth most likely won't be staying but I thought it was a fun idea.
I'm thinking of a really intricate, large gothic dagger would work with this guy, he's particularly hyper-active and frantically stabbin his victim in a frenzy seems to suit him.
Definately not final, just after possible suggestions.
I'll paint a close up of a bust of him holding this dagger I have in mind.
Feb 9th
The start of coloured/detailed concepts.
As a means of getting used to a wacom again more than anything, I thought I'd go ahead and paint over the silhouettes I currently have.
I've got 2 down so far and they're still WIP, I haven't started 3rd millenium'ising them yet.
Feb 8th
Ok, the concepts come a little later than expected, been doing way too much overtime at my shitty workplace.
Anyhow, I thought I'd pimp off my 4 preliminary silhouettes.
I'm pretty much going for the alien / mutant human type.
I figured since there was such a catastrophe on our planet, it'd make sense if there was the chance of mutation/disfigurment due to all the possible chemicals.
I also wanted to make sure these characters weren't TOO imposing as to appear "GENERAL"-like, as I'm feeling a few of us are creeping too close towards. These are skulky, assassin grunt underlings afterall. Atleast that was my interpretation of the rules.
Feb 2nd
Reserving my spot here, should have a solid 1st draft concept by wednesday at the latest.

btw, the thing i love most about being able to do "aliens" is that it's basically tabula rasa to do whatever sort of monsterish, outlandish, or ghoulish creation you can think of. hooray for creative license!
anyhow, keep your thread updated as you develop your entry, plz kthx
and i figure that ur interpretation of the rules is right... i'm trying to keep away from the "General kill-a-lot" look that some entries seem to be having...
looking forward to some more silhouettes!
A small re-itteration above. I'm currently working on painting over these properly (colour, texture, details etc.)
More silhouettes later today.
s'just a beeyatch making the damn thing even less symmetrical (probably overcomplicating) - sall good, I like what you've got down so far muchly - though I.. I dunno, I kinda get the feeling if the top left guy was on his tippy-toes he'd make a lovely satanic male ballerina.
I dare say that's just my dodgy imagination.. ;]
Look forward to seeing more!

Later today I'll update the image with all 4 painted.
no, i'm not hinting that you need to add blue glow-y stuff to win, but you're going to need some element that gives the character a lot of punch, a lot of impact. i'll leave just what that'll be up to you, but it could be a really interesting accessory or weapon, or some bizarre physiological aspect. good luck!
You're absolutely right though, thus far they are a touch or 3 too bland. So I'm sitting down and taking Gauss's suggestions to heart, hopefully I'll have something more iconic by tomorrow
