DWIII - 3D - TheArgyleKid - Invoker

TheArgyleKid

Finally got a chance to mess around with an idea. Going with a warlord type character. Had a chance to do some rough shapes. I've still got to flesh it out a bit, probably won't go too much further in the 2d state since my drawing skills are seriously hurting. He's going to have a back rack with heads and trophies and such. Also, considered a female warlord, but I'm not sure if I want to go that route.

Lookin neat. Only suggestion is to avoid the "fan" shoulder piece. I've seen lots of them in concepts for this contest. My two cents...

TheArgyleKid

Wasn't happy with what I had at all so I decided to take a totally different route. He's going to be a summoner type character. He possesses a scroll with which he can summon a fire demon/imp to aid him in battle. His left arm is going to be molten and he'll use it in his summoning ritual. I'll probably concept the demon later on, he'll just be something small hopefully no more then 1k tris. Crits always welcome.

i like the idea of the summoner a lot. maybe he has a different scroll for each creature and it has a picture of that creature on it. and only the molten arm can reach in to pull out the life form.

as far as the armor goes, i would tone it down a bit, think of an animal handler rather than a warrior. right now it is kind of a WOW mind set, where big shoulder pads means higher level. i would say some more ragged clothes and padding like a pest control guy, thick leather and leashes. maybe a pole with a noose or something

awesome start though, keep goin

Thanks for the feedback richkid. I was kinda going for a samurai/sorcerer look. That's why the armor mixed with cloth. I'm really happy with the midsection down. I know what you mean about "wow" shoulders. I'll probably explore more possibilities as I model since I'm really not a concept artist and I'd just be beating a dead horse.

I also like the idea of possibly having more then one scroll. Maybe like a bag over his shoulder with a bunch. The only problem is that the scroll is basically his elemental imbued weapon so I didn't think he could have a bunch. But then again his arm could be his weapon and the scrolls, the means with which to use it. I dunno if that flys.

I started roughing him in in 3D. Just want to get an idea of what's what so I can break it down into parts for sculpting. Progress so far.

Special notes: If you choose to give your character two similar artifacts, you can only have one magical power type. Example, you cannot have one ice dagger and one fire dagger. They must both use fire or both use ice.

so yeah, you can have multiple, if they are of the same power. and that is a clean model, awesome start on there

Hey, had a chance to start sculpting his head a bit. Still w.i.p. but I'm digging where its going. I wasn't sure about the mask on paper, but seeing it in 3d I really like the look of his eyes peeking over it. Still not sure if I'm going to keep it because I like his face as well. There's the possibility of having it on in one render and off in another I spose. Anyway, let me know what you think.

That sculpt is great. I’m jealous.

TheArgyleKid

Small update. Started sculpting some of the body. I also added to the head a bit (including ears), but not enough to warrant posting it. Let me know what ya'll think.

More progress. Pretty close to calling it on the hi poly stuff. Need to tweak the boots and add some finishing touches to the head. Thoughts, feelings, crits, deepest desires welcome.
