I'm liking the designs, but you'd better run this by Fred. The rules stipulate that you're not allowed to use steam powered machinery so I suspect the same will likely go for electrical devices.
Of course, then they had to muddy up the waters by allowing semi-automatic firearms into the picture.
EDIT: My this thread is moving fast. 4 posts while I was writing that.
the rules alow basic firearms.. and these are air-cooled.. very basic..
AND
you have to choose one "element" .. and Air/Lightning is one of them (lightning == electricity != electronic)
and no steampower...
but i will ask fred when i´m more sure in wich direction i will go
I like what youve done so far but maybe try some really wacked proportions and shapes even if you dont like the results it may inspire your character design to look even more unique?
Cool sketches rollin. You easily had one of best characters last year both design and execution wise but I think your guy was robbed of victory by his roly poly frame. I think you could tweak out these guys silhouttes to make em a little more heroic\dominating and they'd really start kicking ass. I really like the repeating circle design on em;) Can't wait to see them come together:D
hm? roly poly frame? do you mean the silhouette whas not exaggerated enough?
problem is.. i want to use human limb sices bc i don´t want a 2. model i can hardly put into any game bc of its unusual proportions.. (and i don´t have time or motivation to make new animations)
so this entry should fit onta a normal human bone setup
sooooooooooooo .. today i will try to get the pantomime-killer fromt the last pic to match the proportions AND push them as faar as possible.. i will show you..
thx for your crit .. thats some interesting point!
Nice Rollin... haha I like that face.
It wasn't an exaggeration thing with last years character cause his silhoutte was visually awesome... but about how imposing he looked... The subtle difference in the V shape of this guys upper torso vs. the original sketch starts to get at that... Lookin forward to seeing this guy come together:D
Great concept! I like version 2, colors are more agressive. The white spot on the jaw thing give me the impression of a cool reflective jaw protector. Keep (it) up Rollin!
i gotta say this guy made me chuckle when i saw it. so is this a guy in a suit? he's lookin a little robot-like which you may want to steer clear of. i read some of ur stuff above but the look of the character is undoubtedly mechanical...you may want to avoid that kind of confusion all together. other than that, the colors on 3 look the best to me!
in fact it´s some kind of demon.. but to be honest.. how
should a judge should differ between a cyborg and a human,
if the cyborg looks like a human and the human looks like a
cyborg?.. i think the trick with the rules is, that we are
not making big machines, robots or cyberlasersoldiers
(and golems !?!, and steamstuff !?!)
and thx for the comments
the_bird: yea i understand now what you mean, this is an
alltime problem with my stuff.. but its good when people
point this out, thx
edit: thats not the final color design.. just to find a balance of colors and the different color-spots
What happened to the love monster #2 from the top! That one can't lose! He's like a really dangerous carebear!
Your last image you posted is really good! A very asian neo-samuarai look with the simple face and layered thigh armour, mixed with the space suit design. Nice! I like the far right one the best. I'm not sure why but the colors focus my eye up towards the head more than the other two and that's a good thing, better flow to the image.

ok .. NNOOOOWWW .. i´m at least sure i want to do HIM... or it
anyhow.. <u>fighting with colors</u>
next i´ll look, what i can mix out of weapon and artifact

I wasn't seeing the colors either but if I had a choice I would select the purple style. You should beef up the kicks a bit. The shoes dont look like they have any protection on them to save his feet from being pierced or cut off. He does need to do a victory dance after he win the war
I like the new concept of his head to. Keep truckin...
nice:)
definitelly the "3" is too much terminator-judgment-day-looking..
I like 2 and 4, are most originally.
Maybe can you make some more options?
And its of course related to what you wanna do with the rest of body. smoothy? scratched? ornamental?
I suggest to try do some body design and then take overview..
I like nr1 most but I would take away the smile and make it neutral. that would make it scary i think, psycho character. I like the concept overall good work!
the recent facial expressions give me a salad fingers feel, bloody awesome,
i personally love the thumbnail of 1a, as soon as i saw it i cracked up lol
great stuff altogether, definitely looking forward to see how this all comes out on 3d

keep it up.

the inspiration of how he should move and "be" is from one cowboy bebop character pierrot le fou
mixed with some streetfighter-vega
and a pantomime

i like the idea of the big head things, could be really creepy. thats just me though
And overall of model is really nice!
early this morning i played with the head idea.. still an idea.. i will make some variations later today also starting with the weapon(s)
ok .. NNOOOOWWW .. i´m at least sure i want to do HIM... or it

Agreed with Levus, 2 and 4 are standing out.
i guess i will mix 2 and 4 and see whats happening..
and am i the only one who still likes n° 1 ?
Nice updates rollin.
I like the stupid-freaky looking smile on nr2 too:)
keep on!
btw.. the smile is no real smile, its bc of the head-shape + view-angle
7 is nice, but I'm starting to like 1

i personally love the thumbnail of 1a, as soon as i saw it i cracked up lol
