Dominance War II - Vassago

Joshua Stubbles

I feel left out, complaining but not trying :P



It'll be something roughly insect inspired..a mobile gun platform of some sort. I'm leaning towards the flying worm-ish design so far..

yeah man nice idea.. like the bottom right one a lot. wonder if itd look cool if the gun was slung beneath him from the tentacles?

Hey, cool! Glad you decided to join in, Vassago!

An insectoid thingy sounds cool, not enough of those around at the moment. Gun platform sounds a bit excessive though, for a sneak/fight/assassinate thing... although I like the jellyfish style thing, that might work nicely with some tweaks and maybe armour plating and techy gizmos sunk into the jelly dome

Maybe think up a cool design for a weapon that is specifically designed for being held/operated by many tentacles or limbs - the concept you have there shows fairly standard gun shapes held in a somewhat unconvincing manner - it might be cool to have some sort of crazy gun where many tendrils wind around and plug into the main bulk of the gun, it could force its poison into the main gun barrel and fire it off somehow ... jellyfish poison can often be fatal, might be cool to have a sniper poison gun of some sort

Just throwing ideas out there for you, take 'em or leave 'em... just keep doodling the thumbnails and try and think of new and clever ways to use the ideas you're forming!

Keep it up!

Hmm, looks like I'll have to redo the design :P
I had to of skipped over some of those requirements. I'll be keeping an insectoid design, but I'll regear it towards the stealth/assassin vibe.

Thanks for the comments/ideas

yknow..no1 has made an underwater creature yet ( i think)
The bottom right one looks like a jelly fish

Based on the body of a Portuguese Man of War jelly fish. Still trying to figure out it's leg setup. The body itself is quite rigid in these thumbnails, but will be far more gelatinous/fluid in the coming concepts.

Weapon still not finalized but being working on, as well as armor.

It's class is more of a mix between demolition, hand to hand combat and basic soldiering. It can charge into the front lines with it's tendrils extended. This paralyzes dozens of the enemy, allowing it to stomp/stab/shoot or devour them. It's size and mass also allow it to knock down structures with ease.

cool stuff Vassago, but it isn't quite a character, is it? far too monsterish to connect with what people are expecting out of this compo. playing with expectations can be a good thing, but you're still going to have to give the viewer at least some elements (a head, an upper body) that is more "character"-like. not necessarily humaniform, but something they can look at and see as a character and not just a big (though impressive!) monster.
