Mechgirl wipthread

leslievdb

Since i am going to put a lot of time in this project i guess i`ll just make a wipthread here so i can get some input from you guys

The main purpose of this project is to get a lot of flowing hardedge combined with the female form in my design

This will become a portfolio piece so hard crits are very welcome

and here is my first batch of thumbnails.



6, 8 and 9 look the best to me so i think i`ll do some more in that direction

woogity

8 for me neato!

Ihazard

6 or 8 I think

brandoom

11 and 8

chrisradsby

This is my pick, parts from 6-7-8.

Something like this, but with some more love on the legs.

I like the asymmetry in 2, better than 10 because it's sort of proportionally great. 10 is off in the sizes.

I like 6 because it looks kinda evil, but I don't like the legs. chrisradsby above me drew it how I think it should be like.

11 is just epic since it looks like an angel.

Yeah if you get some wings in there it would definitely be interesting.

6 could be interesting. I'm enjoying the silhouette much more than the others.

Wayfa

Kinda like the 3, but 8 looks more like a sure bet.

9's right arm on 6
2's left arm on 11

am feeling lob sided today. Nice thumbs btw!

leslievdb

wow tnx for the input guys, didn't expect so much already

here are two thumbnails with some value
like the left best because it still has something feminine to it, gonna do some more

jerry

Dig the left one, already alot to work with and i love the legs/feet. Face still needs some love

disanski

this looks so cool.
yeaa the left one is winning for me too, but the legs of the right one are cool too...

gsokol

These women scare me..they make me think of the evil chick in the system shock games. I really dig that!

The torso of the one on the right looks too manly. You have that hard cut V shape for the upper body, which is more masculine. I think the left one looks much more feminine, and I like it the most. The legs of the girl on the left are really wierd looking...that may be a good or a bad thing...they are just different.

I really liked the large hand in sketch #2 and would love to see that incorporated on the left one.

leslievdb

tnx for the feedback guys
trying to get more female curves in there and combining some of the shapes

chrisradsby

I think you should definitely let her have some hair to make her a bit more feminine, but that's just my opinion. I's much harder to keep the femininity without it.

Ihazard

I'm liking the most recent one, put maybe have her kness a bit higher and her lower legs to be thinner, might look a bit more feminine

leslievdb

tnx guys, trying some things with the latest thumbnail

achillesian

looks a little cluttered, since the arms are so different, maybe make her left leg the same as her right?

I agree, and this one looks much less original than the strange legged lady.

leslievdb

tnx guys , indeed after taking my eye off it for a couple of hours i dont like the design myself anymore.

I think im going to go with some more symmetry overall and just a few asymmetric shapes, so maybe a few variations on the left one of this image http://i44.tinypic.com/2uj76dv.png

roosterMAP

make her balled wth mech stuff on her scalp. i think it would look really cool. im sure ur not trying to make her fuckable... right?

garriola83

try adding the same thematic shapes into her design, and remember direction and purpose into the design as well. good luck

raul

one thing that really bugs me, is the pose of the legs. Everything else has already been said, for the most part. Keep it up!!

leslievdb

tnx guys i went back to just black and white thumbnails to not get to distracted and came up with these three variations so far

Illusive

^I like 1's legs best but 2 has the best head i reckon

achillesian

i like 1, maybe with some cool mech tentacles coming out of the back of her head, or mech horns, and maybe a slightly more feminine torso like in 3

s0id3

I think number 3 with 1's head would look pretty cool...but are the hands really gonna be clamps?
reminds me of this guy

leslievdb

tnx for the comments guys, tried something today




s0id3: can i use the clamps now sir?

woogity

yo raven! id get away from the symmetry for this piece liked your last few sketches, and love the rendering on the latest one, but way to symmetrical. really like the silhouette of 1 in your most recent batch, but the hair from 3 is awesome and could be fun to play with.

also dont really dig the double hands, its too much down there. maybe one claw and one pincer like in your earlier sketch, love the pincers tho

Get down with the claw, G (asymmetry FTW)

I really like where this is going.

Ged

the last piece is real nice but I think taking a few pointy bits off the silhouette and adding some asymmetry would be better

swampbug

We are the female borg, resistance is sexy.

hawken

only male crabs have one pincer bigger than the other, right?

Vrav

Transgendered cyborg...? Good idea.

leslievdb

tnx guys
just trying some stuff

i think i`m gonna go with some sort of weapon but i`ll thumbnail some designs for that separately

leslievdb

started working on a female basemesh so i can do some more concepting over it and eventually use it to build my armor on (don't really like the design above anymore)

anyway it's a pretty early stage wip but input would be appreciated

CheeseOnToast

It's still a little busy for my tastes. Could you introduce some of the simpler, cleaner shapes from the legs and shoulder pads to either the gun arm or the pincer arm. Maybe also the chest or the abdomen as well? Keep the techy bits as focal points?

roosterMAP

i like the kitchen tools! gf thought it was funny!

woogity

Leg and arm proportions are a little off buddy, your lower leg is a bit long and your thighs are a bit short, upper arm is a little beefy for a girl, but the overall proportions of the arm looks good its just too long at the moment. kitchen tools are hilarious, will show to my gf when i get home and brace for smack.

leslievdb

tnx for the input guys

the design could end up as something totally different in the end since i am going to do some paintover designs when the basemesh sculpt is finished.

woog: tnx gonna fix them tonight , and it's great to hear other people are getting smacked because of my work (my plan is working out perfectly muhahaha)

leslievdb

Found some more courage to try and come up with a design
(female forms are a b*tch to get right)

dang87

Looking cool, man!

rollin

legs are cool, arms not

think of a more interesting approach, resembling the design of the legs

achillesian

make me a sammich
