wow, im a little late to start on this. Can't wait to get into this! there are some great concepts already! i have 2 ideas, either a demon lord thing that i've got going that's a big crab shell shape on top. it doesn't have arms, but it opens it's shoulders and tentacles come out? i don't know for sure, im really liking the idea that it likes to collect bodies maybe? im not sure.
my other idea is that i go in the comedic direction. I was thinking of some elder squirrel wizard/shaman/mage type character that is able to rise acorn soldiers from the ground. Now would that be out of the bounds of the invoker? because i see they took out the summoner
Invoker
This character type harvests powerful magic to destroy and/or manipulate his surroundings or enemies.
so if he turns acorns in the area into soldiers, is that pushing it for the invoker?
here's some doodles of the demon lord that i had in mind
Replies
so here's a few ideas from my alchemy doodles, playing around with a few things, trying not to limit my options. D is my original for the idea i posted first.
As for the demon lord, I'm not a big fan of the door opening and tentacles coming out. It's a bit cheezy. have you considered mixing D and E? Maybe the top shell can open and close, open is E. Then in the gaps, you can have all sorts of death and destruction rain out. As for design, maybe put a freaky face on the front and line the rest with teeth and skulls?
Your thumbnails look great but you just did something like d and e, try something different. J and E are my favorites. More!
ender -good to see u on here! switching over i see huh? ill give ya more soon, and im sorry, i like the crustacean shape... i can't get away from it! finals are kicking my ass this quarter..
machura - or a part of maybe? im gonna start combining these to see what kind of shapes i can get
so i keep looking at J and im getting more and more interested in it, going to do a paint over today and see what i can come up with. i could use a diversion from my homework update coming soon.
the right side is the starting of the squirrel wizard/mage invoker guy. thought the balance between a peaceful, old looking squirrel and terrifying little acorns
crits are VERY welcome, tell me what you think!
d1 - has the form of a female in the middle, that movable throne comes to mind, might work well with machine type?
d2- giraffe neck kinda thing, im really liking the long legs of D, able to look over the battlefield:)
d5- body with no arms at the top, soome wings? and the long legs, looks good, im very biased on d ha.
let me know what you think!
please help!
C1 and D5 also look like they would be awesome and a lot of fun flesh out!!
If I was picking, I would go with D5, because its more my type of structure, but the elongated head on on B1 is very interesting.
You also have a few split heads looking snazzy like D2 and A3.
knuckle bear, boojah -thanks!
r4ptur3 -thank you and will do!
thiel_joe - interesting idea of feeding life force to the rest of the troops via collected bodies, noted!
ofaaron - glad to see you on here buddy, hope to see you get your stuff on here soon! and thanks for the crit man, im really enjoying the shape of the D's as well. ill have some better drawings soon. but i have waaaaaaaay too much animation to do by thursday
