Hey kids,

I don't post around here much but I'm always browsing

This is the 2nd thing I've show you guys, the first was a 3D environment I did a while back. I should also post up a 3D character I did as this forum focuses more on 3D.

Anyways, this is a digital painting of a sketch I did during Art History (bleh). I think the painting took about 10-12 hours and the sketch was 1 hour.

I've been playing a lot of Dead Space recently

Comments and critiques are always welcome! Thanks

Full shot

That is easily the sexiest monster I've ever laid eyes on. Really great work!

Very nice! Absolutely love the colors and silhouette of the character. Great job.

Thanks you two

Anyone have suggestions for some fixes?

My opinion:

The face looks sort of painted on and not without a clear vision in mind for it. I would like to see some sort of unified structure to it. The face also looks very flat...

It reminds me a lot of Zerg characters from Starcraft and thats ok but it looks honestly sort of weak. Perhaps give it wings or a larger torso, some sort of character that really stands out.

It's a good concept so far.

Now you have to make this guy in 3D to add to the fat biker guy!
He looks pretty badass, however a less humanoid shaped nasal cavity could look really interesting, or a "thumb" type appendage off of the secondary arms

n88tr: Have any suggestions as to what would help bring the face some dimension? It's also a bit more inspired by Dead Space than Starcraft for me. The color pallette is definitely Zerg-ish but I was trying to lean a bit more towards an organic exterior rather than an external skeleton like the Zerg.

VikingJim: I was thinking about making him into a 3D character, actually. The concept is fleshed out enough that I shouldn't have too much guess work when it comes to modeling and sculpting in Zbrush. I'll think about those changes as well.

Thank you both

Damn.. This is just so awesome! I really love his wings.
Yeah, put him in 3d..

So I made some changes based off of critiques. In order to make the face feel less "painted on" I thought I could extend his jawline back to help pull the head into the rest of the body.

I also adjusted some highlights around the face and shoulders as well as removed a bad blood vein that went along the left of his head. On top of that I modified some general lighting to help the focal point a tad bit more (about 25%)











And here is the original sketch for your viewing pleasure

Great painting of a great sketch! Really solid stuff, I wouldn't want to run into that guy in an abandoned space station.. ;p

Hmm, looks like some of my neighbors.
