34# Rook - suffeli

suffeli

Hello!

I just started learning 3d last year due to my boredom and disappointment with graphic design. I always wanted to be a 3d / texture artist... I dunno why I started studying graphic design in the first place, heh. Anyway... my idea is a huge golem / ogre siege machine with a huge maul or something like that. Not very original is it?
Here is what I got:






Ok. Probably gonna scrap the golem idea and go for the beastman look. Still haven't figured out how to add the rook in to the design.

I really like the last concept. It would be cool to add a cool stone tower built on him, and sorta blend the two together. Something maybe like shadow of the colossus combination. Sorta a paintover of what I mean.

when I first thought of this contest I had an idea of a large giant type character who looked like he was captured somewhere, like a keep, and had broken out, and was still "wearing" parts of it, like the turrets around himself like he'd got stuck.

Nice ideas! I think I'll try to add the in-animate look to it with the textures and try to make it look like a walking piece of rock and wood. One more quickie with blantant shadow of the colossus look.





I have to stop tweaking, unwrap this and start to texture to meet the deadline.

this one is my favorite rook so far. really like the mountain man with the castle on his back. it explains why a castle can move on the board.

Played with the castle idea growing out of his back. Seriously running out of time also. With my sluggish speed texturing this will take forever.

Yey! Didn't get very far... anyway I'm gonna probably finish this in two days or so.
