UPDATED 04.12.08 4:30 PM Pacific.

I go by the name "Zatransis" on the Dominance War board.

Finally finished! All of my final images are here in this initial post for your viewing pleasure. Thanks to everyone who offered crits, suggestions, and kindness! Now it's in the judges' hands...

So here are a couple of starts. I haven't settled on the weapons yet because I am trying to come up with something unique. I know both of these have a LONG way to go in terms of complete ideas. Both of them (depending on the route I go) will need full armor/clothing as well as further refinements to them. So here is step one of one million.

Thanks, gang!

Cool stuff, Basho. I really like the antler idea. Keep it goin's!

Soccerman18

You know, I was just thinking today that you don't see too many with antlers. Tons with horns, but not atlers. Nice line work on those.

Bashomaru

Thanks guys!

I agree on the whole antler thing. I think I am going to incorporate it into this guy. Here he is with no armor on. I wanted to get his basic form and now I am going to start overlaying armor. That's his mount. As the first step in making him Polycount styled I am going to make that skull and crossbones the Polycount smiley.

I have decided to go with the Plant option for the weapon. I will have that worked out and will be in the next iteration.

Hope ya'll dig!

got a sweet heavy metal vibe from this one -- i love your style!

wizo

oh man, this is very interesting! design and style are purely awesome.

Bashomaru

Thanks a lot guys!

Here is an update. Got the armor going now. I'm going to do a page of attacks so I can show what I plan on for his giant weapon back there. Hope ya dig!

Japhir

aww looks great! poor boar/animal he's riding
keep it up!

Jaco

Hehe, very cool. What the hell is he riding?

kakikukeko

not sure but looks like a hedgehog to me

Neox

this is, of course, sonic, no question

Bashomaru

That is INDEED a hedgehog. But it is a very large one. Dire Hedgehog maybe?

Anyhow, here is a small update. Started the coloring process and put some flats on the valiant steed.

Love the style, what brush are you using for that pencil-like affect on the outlines, I like it.

Awesome hegiepie.

slosh

dude, this is one of my favorite concepts yet...awesome! love the style bro...

seantree

oh shit. I'm watchin this one! very nice!

Bashomaru

Hey, thanks for all the support, gang!

I'm not using any special brush... that is tried and true Pencil right there.

Here is a update. I am going to be out of town for a week so I wanted to get this up for crits so I have something to work on when I get back.

Hope ya dig!

M!

JesterBox

Oh.... duh I feel dumb

Getting even more awesome, still itching to know what that log can do!

Hmm.. maybe try some tattoos, but I love it the way it is now!

Japhir

i love it! the skin color could be a tad lighter imo, because now the gloves attract the eyes more than the head and torso. hope to see updates soon

Bashomaru

Hey all you goons and goonettes!

This is the next step in this guy's progression. Got some full paints on him and I am going to be looking for feedback as I make a bunch of small tweaks. This may be the final paint and it may not. It totally depends on how things develop in the next week or so.

Next up... Some of the other art that is required for the contest.

Thanks gang!

M!

Bashomaru

I got some crits quickly yesterday so I decided to make some quick changes.

I won't post a paint again until I have settled on the final one. The next posting you will see of this goon will be turns and attacks.

rollin

i think you can push the sky even more.. its still looking bit weird (also this snow stuff or whatever it is)

but the rest is so coool !!!

Ged

awesome but yeah the snow stuff is wierd, maybe the sky can be darker + less saturated or a different hue than the character in order to make him pop out more?

Bashomaru

Some attacks. I am going to get a close up of the weapon and some of it's more magical components next. Turns are also in the pipeline. We've been given 5 more days!

BoBo_the_seal

Yes! Great style!

HandSandwich

I always liked getting the Fersilvae Attack Sampler, especially when it comes with the cheese sticks and marinara. I also like the Heisman stance during the flail. Good work. Keep it ups

Ksan

I really dig your style. Can't wait to see the final.

Bashomaru

Some changes to the original painting. More refinements until I post the turns which I think I finally have time for tonight.

Thanks to everyone for the crits and comments!!!

Bashomaru

Here a bunch of additional images to meet contest requirements.

Hope ya dig!

M!

Pedro Amorim

i wanna see some 3d

Bashomaru

I just checked out The Magnetic's stuff. Cool work! Thanks for the compliment. Should have the rest of the turns up tonight and then I'll be working on final sheets.

Bashomaru

Thanks a ton, Rollin! This whole contest was a blast!

M!

HandSandwich

Came out really cool, man. I like how many textures you were ale to throw into it. The final colors turned out nice as well. Good work.

By the way, D'artagnan is awesome.

BlackB

it looks great and i love it~~~~!!! but just one question.....
why are u not on the 2D final list....!!?!?!?!?!???

Lord McMutton

I could've sworn it said 'Brutal Fail'

Bashomaru

BlackB: I am on the final list actually... sorry to confuse! I went by my normal internet handle of "Zatransis" on there. I am at the very end of the list.

Thanks gang!
