Dominance War II - Too Animalistic
polycounter lvl 18
My entry is "Sarah the Shadow Summoner". Story goes - She is a young girl in the future who posseses the ability to summon evil shadow type entities from cast shadows. She is linked to these entities and they are an extension of herself.

Also, how is this going to be a 31st century character? Will she be holding a BFG?
But when i read the brief i think of a huge desert with lots of soldiers just running up and killing eachother.
This guy would be helpless.. He uses a little girl to fight.. nuff said
it's hard to give any type of helpful comments noting i'm not entirely sure what else you have solidified in your mind. but i think before you get too far along, consider these words in the brief:

Judging will be based on:
- Popularity of your character. Does your character look cool? Does your character look like he/she/it can easily destroy any form of opposition?
- Regardless which team you are on, it's your job to prove to the judges that your character has what it takes to win this war!
[/ QUOTE ]
in your description you define that sarah, "consumes and devours it's prey as a true "shadow"." while creating your shade here, i'd try to define the how in this. i think that's an area that will help flesh out what i think the judges will be looking for when looking over the entries.

Concept Sheet
- Dimensions: 800w x 900h pixels - 200k file size
- Any preliminary sketches, concepts, and paintings that you created to help you understand how to make your character, can be shown here. Squeeze everything onto this one sheet.

not sure if a concept is required, but it is implied.. *shrugs*
but whats her weapon???
Where's the concept?
[/ QUOTE ]
I'll have it up once get my sketches to a scanner. This model is kind of a concept as well I might go a different direction. I'm just going to let the character evolve until the end of the contest.
someone has been reading blue dragon

whats blue dragon?
Me and Steve, think that is the best idea we have seen so far, who cares if it isn't a super soldier? the idea is pure genius.
[/ QUOTE ]
Thanks for the kind words. But in order to please everyone I will be giving some futuristic weapons to sarah, mainly to secure the idea that "Sarah" can defeate any opposition. I sketched out some stuff but again I don't have scanner access right now so...
if you make the shadow monster cool enough it will be the weapon that defeates all opposition
what about adding a high powered light so she can generate the shadow in any situation?
[/ QUOTE ]
Yeah I thought about somthing like that. I'll keep it in mind and see if I can't do somthing cool with it.
Be creative people, future doesn't mean everyone has super space nigh-light orbs and pointy armor... especially if your planet just blew up... gee
some good stuff is coming out of this comp in a technical sense... but generally speaking it's turning out all the same... be creative and don't be afraid to stick to the heart of your original designs just because some 12 year old said, "where's the jet-pack?"
whats blue dragon?

it's a game for the 360 and a comic about people who are bonded to shadows and use them to fight.
Here I just am messing around with her hair trying to decide what I want to do with it.
Keep put the good work
Very nice work man !, the most original so far but Im not sure if is coherent with challenge Theme.
[/ QUOTE ]
Thanks,
Explain the "not coherent" part though please. I followed the guidlines. An evil, human or alien, in the future. I could make Abe Lincoln and tell you it's a shapeshifter who likes American history, and he pickpockets people, and he fights with his math skills, that would still be a valid entry would it not?
Pretty sweet Bobby!!!

Hey man, havent heard from you in a while. How've you been?
Wheres your entry!!! I know you got time you freaky little speed devil you bastard, you must enter contest now!
I like the original concept myself, but my suggestion is to keep the girl as is and make the monsture more "Alien" (alien form the movie)/WH40K Tyranid like/Zerg. Cause at the moment though the monsture looks scrarry it has to much of a Monsture's Inc feel, soft and cushy. Spiky, hard, demonic looking would in my opinion would make the character a damn scarry thing to have to face on the feild of battle (Though with the deseptive girl thing it would more be like an assassin).
Keep put the good work

Originally I was going for more of a light hearted approach like mosters Inc. But once again if people want to see more violence and sex...
