Dominance War II - RJ10110

RJ10110

Throwing out one of my ideas and reserving my spot on the polycount team.
I'm definitely excited about this competition-- first one I have truly entered.


I'll be updating soon with a complete set of concept images, I just wanted to get my idea out there before someone else did something too similar. Hopefully it hasn't happened already. I noticed the forums filled up almost instantly after the release of the brief and began to get nervous

nice idea, but you should really watch out not to go too much cyborg or android

yea, I was hoping to grab some input as to whether or not I'm treading a dangerous line. I didn't think it was close, especially after looking at some of the concepts with two full metal arms (: Thanks for the input thefatladysings.

The whole heart thing isn't completely necessary for the actual base idea to work, I just thought it would add a greater level of visual interest to him and would help convey the direct mainline of adrenaline into the heart.

I don't plan on using anything else metal on him save some external armor and the weapons of course. Also nothing is actually a moving part, its all just surgically inserted armor to protect the main source of life from harm.
Maybe I'll submit an actual inquiry to a moderator of the contest if that is possible to see if that even counts as a portion of our 20% or less quota and if so whether it oversteps the bounds or no.

** addition / edit ** - the "adrenaline pack" is worn like a literal backpack and the resperator is fastened to the face with staples or something. No internal robotic limbs or computer chips or anything. The point behind the heart chamber is to minimize costs of armor since soldiers would be immune to pain and preserving his limbs isn't important because he doesn't come home. He could march in with no armor and still be relatively shielded.

If anyone else stumbles upon this thread lemme know what you think about this!

I'd say if its just a respirator and a backpack that it should be fine.... cool idea.

The actual concept stuff looks very cool. I am really digging the face.

Maybe he has bio-engineered enhanced organs (I imagine some bug shaped things) attached to him also? That would be safely withing the guidelines. Nice start!

I'm thinking about his short-range limitations (also the lack of futuristic style for such a far away year) and i'm considering adding some kind of projectile weapon. I've drawn a few concepts, which I will upload asap, I just cannot get to a scanner right now. Among the concepts/ideas: Chaingun + Blade/Machete, Jackhammer + Minigun, Dual Chainsaws, Tek9's with chaingun style ammunition feed.

I'm leaning towards Tek9s with chaingun feed and a bayonet on each or sawed off shotguns with bayonet style ends or something. Will upload later (I'm in class right now but spending time on much more important things like this contest )

Ok so I did some more concepts and here's the fruit of my labor:



I also got another idea for a mechanism on his arm pictured in this image, and I will post exactly how it would work in a little while


I call my newest invention the "Ratchet Arm"

A spring powered clutch holds the arm, locking it in place.
When necessary the clutch will disengage causing the arm to spring out enough to twist giving the person free rotation of their forearm. This will help my little zombie soldier perform extraordinary blade maneuvers and fast.

Here is a small diagram: (excuse the especially horrible rendering)

Digging the drip tank idea. "Getting tired while slaughtering the innocent? Loosing your edge? TRY OUR ADGRENALINE DRIP TANK!!! You'll be feeling good in no time with body counts rising!

Go Go Gadget Ratchet Arm!!!

Things got a little too hectic balancing work/school with this competition so I had to drop out. I plan to finish him for my portfolio anyway using the same specifications.
