Dominance War 2 - Vailias

Vailias

Late start as usual. At least this time I had work to finish that I got paid for doing.

Shadow doesn't have a name yet, but its a big ole lion-deamon hybrid thing. The weaponry/accessories are going to consist of a large "void cannon" on a shoulder mounted support, a kopesh inspired sword and an armored fist. I'm thinking of taking the armor in perhaps an egyptian influenced gothic style. if that can work.
Mesh is started, but on with the concepts.

Thanks! Got some good sculpting time in today. Been working with a new technique I picked up out of browsing the "hyper real character creation in maya" book. I think from the start this is only about 8-10 working hours so far, so if I can keep non distracted over the next 2 days I just might make it to the finish.


I was trying to keep it triangle free for a long time, but finally just decided to push it to get the shape, as I doubt Ill have the time to make a highpoly before the contest is done anyway. Now for weapons and armor. Armor is being part of the character and within the 6000 budget, weaponry will take the 1000 accessory budget.
