SLIPGATE IS NOW NOT DOING NIGHTMARE - I think you scared him off... I blame the hat

sparrow

I thouhg he was just scrappign that design which scares me even more eeeek. haha

well here is my concept of Nightmare. There are some bits that i am still not shore about. I wanted to do for a bit more of a darker vertion like something you would see in lord of the rings.

hey nice work dude, i'm liking the strong silhouette you have going. he'll look awesome in a dynamic pose.

Looking good man, can't wait to see how this progresses, cheers for the feedback & tips btw!

Hey every one,

I have kind of gone in a different direction with this now, I am going with a gladiator theme to nightmare now.

Cant decide what helmet to go for, what do you guys think.

Dan!

I think 8 does the best job of pulling off the gladiator helm and the horn.- cool idea!

JGcount

Cool progress, I think you should go in the greek/roman direction in terms of armor. If its too nordic(like the first concept piece) it will look pretty much like a marauder from the Warhammer universe

thomgoblin

i like the giant head and hands. reminds me of the goblins from the labyrinth. you should make a muppet goblin nightmare.

sparrow

Hey Thanks for the feed back guys.
Dan!: Yer there is something about number 8 that i like. Thanks for the feed back.

JGcount: I agree with you there I will do a few more concepts of armer some point tonight. Thanks,

Thomgoblin: I completely forgot about the knight goblins in Labyrinth, Muppet goblin is right up my street . thanks

loving the new direction, definitely a cross between 7 and 8 - maybe bringing the peak of the helm in 7 out to look more like a horn without actually having a 'horn'. I wanna see either a bad-ass grimy Romanesque sword or some kind of trident/spear/flail...

Byren

4 looks terrifying - definitely my favorite... though I don't know if it gets across 'gladiator' as well as the other designs unfortunately

Maybe 8 with 5's BIG horn?... hmm

Mixing 5 and 8 gets my vote too. I love this, the first concept you did is super creepy.

Hey ya,

I have to say I like the helmet in your initial concept the others remind me too much of gladiatorial armour, the first concept had some great shape and the horns were a great addition I think you were closer with that in regard to the head.
The ploom of feathers at the back isn't doing it for me tooo much, I'd be tempted to keep the silhouette they create and replace them with melt feathers, something more sculptural.

Out of the sketches its gotta be No.4 for me.

Its looking great solid looking silhouette work, Looking forward to seeing the progression.
Keep going chapperoo.

hey guys thanks for the feed back really appreciate it. i have decide and i have counted the votes and its going to be number 8. need to work on the helmet design a little bit more with this one coz not shore how to have the front horn attach to the helmet.

Thank again

sparrow

Hello all

I though it was time I posted some been putting in back, but I though I would grow a pair and post up. so here is an update.

got to start to add more detail into him now, and add the feathers on the top of the helmet.

Liquid-Grievous

very interesting

sp0nge

looking tasty matey, will be very interesting to see how you go about that stomach-mouth thing. It may be a bit late for suggestions such as this, but did you consider maybe doing that whole area as a kind of low gilded breast plate? Like the image attached but on its own, held on by belts and buckles etc - maybe tie it into those straps. Whatever, bit late in the day perhaps... looks good anyway

Gazington

Great start, I love this design and for me it's still very much Nightmare. Looking forward to the updates.
