request some help, warhammer 40k concept?

seforin

Ok this probably has to be the most hore'ish thing ive done on here, but im hoping someone can help me out

ok long story short I want to create 2 buildings similar to Dawn of war specs, for the characters I created as a mini scene.

I wanted to create 2 buildings Darkangle/space marine themed. So I went off on a limb and had one of those kids at the relic forum draw me up a concept......unfortanetly what I thought I was getting versus what I got is........well lets just say I vomit up a better design.


So unfortanetly this took so much time to recieve this set me back on my scheduling BAD for working on things. So Im here asking anyone on here, If I were to show you a rough building design could you help me pimp it out so I could actually 3d model it?

ANY help would be VERY appreciated!

Will you be as grateful to someone from Polycount giving up their time to do free work for you as you are to the dude from Relic's forums?

well the guy on the relic forum neglected to tell me he had prior ingagments and resposibilities and then had me haning for weeks telling me he had a concept and then scruffed something together the last minute.

I appreciate people who spend time who do work, but when you can tell someone spends 5 minutes doing work you can just tell. And I was constantly asking for help from that person and they told me they understood the reason why I needed the concept and why it was important...

look so you understand why im asking for help this is what I waited like 3 weeks on

Alright Seforin, the first thing you're going to do is go any buy this book. Its a handy thing to have in any game artistys collection, but I imagine it'll help you immeasurably. Its mostly character and vehicle concept art but you should find some useful stuff in the backgrounds for environment stuff

The cover illustration on Amazon appears to have the colours inverted for some bizarre reason.

n the mean time, Dark Angel architecture isn't all that complicated. There are a number of repeated themes and motifs that run through all the artwork - gothic arches, statues of hooded saints and angels, stained glass windows, all carved into dark grey stone. It shouldn't be all that difficult to come up with something appropriate. Do a google search for "Gothic Chruch" and you'll have all the reference you need.
