Input appreciated!

hey this some cool start.. but maybe push the metalpart a bit more into an more interesting point?!

Vidar

Ok, todays lunch update, expect more refinement along these lines this evening as well. Finally starting to get a feel for where I want to take this.

Comment away!

Awesome concept so far. My only gripe is rock crotch. No FUN!

Ok, quick update before bed. Some redesigning and some more details sorted.

Any suggestions for the design would be very cool, feel free to do paintovers
if you have something in mind!

i would play with the white stripe patterns. the vertical pattern isnt helping with all the other elements being vertically oriented as well. add some swirls or patterns like on the feet. somethign to lead the eye across and around the body instead of straight up and down.

push the horn and 'hair' designs up and out. some glowy bits in teh rock parts

good basic design but she needs a bit more OOMPH! some STYLE! Dynamic! .

maybe play with proportions of the legs and arms. all that rock lifting could have altered her body.

Vidar

Yeah, I will strive to make it a bit more dynamic. The boots will probably see a redesign as well as some other parts.

I definitely plan on adding lots of runes and cool stuff on all the rock pieces etc.

I will concentrate on getting my shape and silhouette right for now, so no color on this update.

Jaco

It's coming along nicely, the rocks sticking out of the arm and boots could be bigger/more aggressive though to enhance the silhouette.
And maybe a more womanly figure, more of an hourglass shape?
At the moment her shoulders are a bit broad, and the hips too narrow, unless you’re into muscle chicks

Vidar

Jaco: Yeah, you're probably right about that. Her right arm can certainly be more aggressive.

I am however pondering slimming down on the boots, making them somewhat more sexy. Still that doesn't stop me from making the spiky rock pieces a bit bigger.

I've been putting off making her to womanly, will probably take it a bit more in that direction as soon as I get a feel for all the other elements.

Expect some more flowing cloth as well.

Vidar

New design for the boots, as well as some color.

It's a bit brown right now, but I would like to at least keep that as a primary color for this girl, since she's channeling the earth element to protect her and summon her beasts of war (coming later). Suggestions for the colorscheme would be great!

So many amazing entries from polycount this year, keep it up guys!

rollin

wohoo.. rockwoman.. like her
only this eye.. ting.. is bugging me.. it doesn´t fit into the design and looks cheep-cliche like imo

keep going.. there is realy some cool stuff around here

rooster

ditto on the eye, make it a monacle at least something more interesting

looks cool though!

BoBo_the_seal

very nice. I really dig the colors

Vidar

I think I will take this concept for a spin in 3d next, to get a better feel for it.

corrosion

that's looking very cool! can't wait to see 3d!

cholden

Cool concept. I like how you strategically cover the naughties. Hair is kinda wacky, but I can't tell you better.

Vidar

Ok guys, updated the concept a bit and included her summoned creature. Don't want to spend to much time on the concept, but this image should better convey what I'm going for.

Next up: Start sculpting!

I only thing that's weird to me is the mouth/nose-hole on the monster. Everything else is ace!

Waz

Yeah I'm not feeling the nose /mouth either, more of a "glory hole" unless his mouth is open and is about to shoot sonic waves ala this:

Vidar

Haha, those waves are ace!

Ok, will do some thumbs for the mouth at lunch tomorrow.

Vidar

Ok, 5min update to the concept, have some more ideas in store, but might save them to the modelling stage to try them out there.

Alright, I've been slacking off on this piece for a while now. Sorry about that! Only thing I've really got done since the concept stage is a simple base mesh for her head.

I took some time during my lunch hour today to sculpt out her face the way I've imagined it. Will give the hair it's own topology next, now that I've established the general form of it.

Jaco

Looks good, she has a real sense of command.

indian_boy

yea i love that face.. feels powerful.. ready to lead an army
