DWIV - 2D - MagicSugar

MagicSugar

Going for the WarMachiine class.

Starting things off with a simple design. Will slowly think and draw things through in the weeks ahead. Good luck to all participants.

MagicSugar

Took sketch above to a finished state. I've started exploring more designs in my sketchbook and I'll proceed to do a concept of a vehicle type next.

Image below was 100% hand rendered by me in Photoshop. No 3d base or paintovers.

It Dose look like a 3D mondel to me Which is a good thing, becuase its good.

Yozora

well you are right about it being simple!

Looks too simple to me

MagicSugar

Thanks for stopping by Deathhelmz and Yozora.

Here's the sketch for a new concept.

MagicSugar

Worked the sketch into a finish.

Joshua Stubbles

Hehe. The top one kind of reminds me of Gort from the Day the Earth Stood Still. Maybe bring some weapons into his design?

MagicSugar

Well the cock cannon's been done here before

So maybe I can design a built in cock-tapult.

diggin the newest design -- would be cool to see this thing reallly realllllly big

coldkodiak

simple shapes lend itself to being really big or really small, should consider that.

I think it need more gunz

MagicSugar

Hey, thanks for checking this thread r4ptur3 and coldkodiak!

Yup, I'll start adding larger res versions for finished concepts. Weapons I'll focus a lot more later when I have the gun platform figure out.

Current concept. Thinking about armour forms, mobility, role in battle, concealed weapons vs external firing structures.

This reminds me a piece from a guy named Keith Thompson: http://www.keiththompsonart.com/pages/icbm.html

It's definitely worth checking his stuff out as he's got an amazing eye for detail, especially when it comes to putting wear and tear on machines.

Cool stuff though, keep it up.

morte

the scorpion thingy is definitively the best!

MagicSugar

Thanks for checking the new update wake and morte.

Yeah, I'm familiar with Keith Thompson's work. He's very good with steampunk styled mechs. I don't recall seeing that caterpillar one before but definitely gives me some idea with textures and component details.

Thanks morte! I plan to concept out at least 3 more and pick the one I like for the final. Or, if I can come up with one that combines stuff from all of these designs.

Stay tuned for more and I'll check out your domwar pages too, guys.

fightpunch

The last batch is looking way better than the first batch. Keep pushing the forms

Rory_M

The scorp is definitely the best, but i agree you should push the concept a bit more.

Snowfly

Getting better and better MS Those buzzsaws should make for a pretty interesting final pic. I expect to see a lot of demon slaughter.

Right now it's hard to tell what scale you're going for with these things, but I'm sure you'll get that sorted out when you get on the design pass.

MagicSugar

Thanks guys. I'll add a scale ref in my next concept.

Meanwhile, here's how the scorpion's looking.
