Dominance War II - Crash & Fuse

Fuse

Count us in...


Sneak peak at a WIP coloring of concept by crash

Looks like we're going to be going oldschool too.

Fuse

might as well post crash's early sketch

She's supposed to be this slick shadow assassin, we've got a few more things going to make her more interesting, stay tuned.

Emil Mujanovic

I'll be watching, need ideas for my chick assassin.

Give her some more things to seperate her from the mindless masses. Make the glove ridiculously large, give her some decorative stuff, whatever you like.
I'm liking the sleekness, it really fits the brief.

Fuse

I took crash's early sketch and made a quick paintover of the cloak/cape that we had in mind for this girl.

It's kind of this large double cape that is almost like a sentient being, it can harden at will to protect her and can also be used in combat.

rooster

yeah I'm thinking it needs more unique.. more BAM! crash
cool start!
edit: yeah nice idea fuse!

Nilium

I like that idea. The whole living cloak thing is cool.

gauss

Spawn called, he wants his cloak back
Crash called, he's back to hibernating now he's expended a year's worth of drawing...
okay okay, i kid, i kid. i kid because i love. you guys look like a pretty good pairing, and a strong entry so far... just keep pushing the concept. cloak is good, but she'll need even more to really get going.

Michael Knubben

Damnit Gauss, you beat me to the punchline.
I agree with everything Gauss said though. Keep pushing the concept with unique additions, and she'll be read to kick cgWHATEVER ass!
Oh, and 3dtotal.

Crash

rooster: there will be more BAM! fer sure.

Crash

A quick sketch of the cloak and some changes to the glove.

popawheelie

Cool stuff, keep it up. Now try pull the aesthetics in from the gloves to other parts of the figure, to balance it up.

keep up the good work

i like the direction that you took the cloak. over all it still needs more interest, maybe a hood to go with that cloak, all assasins creed style. and the arm thingy, maybe less robot, more symbiotic. im not saying go all witchblade on it, but maybe some more clothworks and rags around the arm, so in the end, she looks like a homeless chick or refugee.

just the direction that i would run, but then again i crash into a lot of stuff.

Marine

looks more like a really long scarf than a cloak.

Crash

Update...

Fuse

whoa !

Crash

more updatenessingness...ish...

TheArgyleKid

I like the top one better. The darker eyeliner and expression seems a bit more evily. The bottom looks a little too nice.

Unbreakable

I like how the design is coming so far, think you could use some more detail so you can have fun in Z-Brush!

Crash

there will be no Z-Brushing

Fuse

indeed

Fuse

a quick doodle/paintover for a more design of the weapon .. wip ..

Fuse

Pizza Explosion

If vincent valentine were a female, this is what he would look like. looks a lot like vincent, honestly.

Shady-D

lol i saw the glow from her shirt and all i could think of was:
LIGHT EMITTING BOOBIES!!!
or even better
GLOW-IN-DARK NIPPLES!

But Looks really cool. Has a ruthless feeling to it

Slash

I think you can do better than that one the claw thing. It has rather uninteresting shapes going on now. In fact there are no real shapes to speak of, just cylinders with stuff on them. Look for some inspiration in other armored creatures, from 14th century knights to deep sea crustaceans.

I like the cross shapes on her chest and shoulders, nice design going on there. Now go make that claw more interesting!

gauss

don't let crash get caught up in his endless detailing when you're just at the concept stage... at this point, i think you've got enough to get going on the model, no problem. save crash's somewhat limited sauce for when it's needed, on the texture!

Fuse

oh well the glove paintovers were done by me .. i was just doodling around that's all .. i'ma start up on the modelling shortly

vahl

yah keep crash's motivation around before it fades out

looking cool guys

Slipstream

I love the mesh work so far. Most people I see use quads almost exclusively in their faces, but you have a fair amount of tri's in their and it works out really well.

I'm curious as to your process. Is that a bone rig you used to get those expression, or morph targets?
And when you're going for open mouth expressions, do you have to create geometry for the teeth/gums, tongue, or can you get away with doing just teeth?

Davision3D

Her nice arrogantly look gets lost through that strong angry expression. I really would keep that mouth closed.

Your latest pictures aren't loading.

aesir

proportions feel a tad off to me on that last one. Legs not long enough or torso too big/long... somethin.

Fuse

EarthQuake

proportions seem quite off there, the thighs are quite a bit too thin in the side view, and the calfs dont have nearly enough shape, just poles....

Japhir

i think the knees could be a bit higher and thicker also. You might also want to make her more like a vase shape, she now has some "male" proportions in the torso. (the feet are very thin too)
other than the proportions, i like it!

Fuse

Crash

wip textures...

Ged

lovely work on the torso and armour, Im not so sure about the hair it seems to be blending in with the face a lot
