DWIV - 3D - Madame

Madame

Hi guys ^^ This is going to be my first DW, it is also going to be the first time i'll let other people see my stuff Im still learning alot, only been doing digital art since aug-2008 when i started my studies at playgroundsquad, sweden. Before that it was mostly sketching and painting old school-style.
(that means ofc that im not planning to win this comp, just doing it for fun)

Anyhow, im still making concept for my char. Im goin for a demon-princess, wings, horns, etcetc... typical demon look. Ive gotten much inspiration from beetlewings and mountain goats XD and some really bad pornstars....

so far i got a quick sketch, not sure about the look thou, gonna continue making some thumbnails and more sketches, will update as soon as i have something new ^^

I like the flowyness of the wings, it sort of gives the impression of a really big dress/cloak. And the glowy feather idea is nice. Se seems to be somewhat clothed, so it might be a cool idea to make any eventual clothing have some feather decorations or so, so to tie it togehter with the wings.

Are you planning on some sort of weapon or is she more the caster type? For some reason I picture her wielding some really idiosyncratic weapon for a deamon pincess, like a flail or warhammer or something. But that's just 'cause I'm wierd. :P

Madame

Nah the feathers are not connected to her body, the wings are simply the 2 bug-looking thingies pointing upwards... XD The feathers are simply a "coat" like decoration

When it comes to weapons im not sure. She uses her inner dark power in combat but it would be nice with a gigantic hammer of some sort =D Ive always been into that hammer versus sexy girl idea since i first saw Meru from Legend of Dragoon =P

...but maybe it would look nice if she had a feather-boa round her neck, to tie the outfit together. Updates will be posted soon ^^

Gabriel Fors

Oooh, she could have an actual feathered boa.

Looking forward to see more of it.

Madame

Ive been quite busy this last week with work, but yesterday i managed to get some concept together. Im starting to complete the design of my demon. Going to make her a gigantic sledgehammer, just for show, and maybe some tiny armour, to make her look more "warrior-like". This week im planning on completing the model sheet and starting with the base mesh. Wish me luck ^^

Yozora

concept looks really nice but I'm not sure a giant hammer would fit with that dress...

Zwebbie

She reminds me a lot of this entry from DomWar II. I don't know if that bothers you, since you didn't actually steal anything, but a different horn shape (pointed upwards or something bug-like) might lessen the connection.

Madame

tnx ^^ ur right at that point, it wouldnt be realistic with her outfit to have one, but it would be used more likley for show, she uses her inner darkness to fight. but im still wondering how i will make it work. I want her to have a weapon, but not a wand or anything, something more barbaric. Any1 got any tips?

and myes she does look like that other entry o.o but guess its cuz of the horn-style covering her eyes, but i dont think the end result will look anything like that (or at least i hope =P)

Madame

oke, now ive been slacking at work and fooled around in ps some more, i do want a smashing bad-ass thing as a weapon, and made this out of the design of an indian hammer.

so this is what i got this far, next time i will hopefully have a modelsheet to show ^^

Yozora

what is that thing on the bottom left of her dress? Looks like some beat foot, thats not her feet is it?? Looks really weird whatever it is

I dont really like the shape of this "hammer", looks like a very blunt blade to me

How about something like this (the weapon);

conte

boobs!

Madame

myes... boobs -.- anyhow, dont complain about the foot =P keep in mind that it is a fast sketch. anyhow, im giving her beast-looking feet, cuz i like it =D dont really gonna look like those on the pic thou.

its more an axe than a hammer, but i get ur point. Im still not settled with the look, but im going more for the axe look cuz u dont see that as often as big fat hammers ^^

udating with another more detailed concept soon (soon as in saturday or something, work is consuming my life atm)

Tankz0rz

Like your third pic with that hammer axe you added to it. Have you considered the use of a scythe like weapon? That "Hammer axe" reminded me of one. Just something to think about. I'm doing something along the same lines and I'm probably going with a scythe like weapon. Keep it up.

woogity

i like where this is going, the peacock feathers are a nice touch, kinda interesting since the character is sooo feamale and only the males have them, i guess it fits since shes kinda a brute wielding giant weps. i think she could use a bit more gear, i know its still wip just sayin. the wings/ feathers are great tho, and why the hell not have boobs out...o the weapon could use a lil attendtion too, would be cool to have some of her style feathers embellishing the weapon or something, gl on updates!

-Woog

Madame

tnx ^^ im thinkin about more gear, i just dont really know what i should give her. Im gonna keep the nude boobs, im kinda attached to that idea, however some feathers on the weapon would be a nice! Im going to make it more intresting soon, i just made that sketch in a hurry, ill be back tomorrow with some updates =D (i hope)

Madame

Oke, so now ive been working as in "hardly working" over this past week whenever i got spare time on my mesh. This is the highpoly body (without the wings n stuff) and the lowpoly. Atm im working on the uv map and the weapon that ive actually changed into a chain and somethin'....ouchy. Sry for the late update, been really busy with work latley T_T



and here's the not-so-much-time-spent-on-modelsheet!:
