So the idea I would like to roll with for this is a redesign of Samus as a even more armored out bad version, nothing super knew but make her look alot meaner with sharper shaped and new parts.
Ref sheet probably doesn't make too much sense right now.
for sure, I will concept her chest piece to have a retracting door and have her boobs glass covered an have them illuminated like jewelry at Tiffany's. It will all make sense once my concept is done : ]
Super Happy Cow: oh you mean R-Type, that's where the ship was from.
So the Samus I will be doing is just the evil pirate version of the good Samus. Pretty much the same but the big changes i wanted to do was a tail, a claw with a big ol knife instead of an arm cannon and her face having an eye patch and long red hair.
gun on right arm please!!! also lookin awesome so far...dont love the tail, but the version with the helmet and hair is really cool.
also just wanted to say havnt seen your avatar image recently, checked it on your site man..love it, huge fan of the bug/ peoples and yours are fantastic.
woogity: yea my bad didnt re flip my image : [ and thanks for the kind words about my works! i looooooove mask rider insect demon things so this will be a challenge for the hard surfacing.
Onuris: yea i will not to worry, ill put tits on the outside of her armor if i have to.
akacg: thanks! I failed to mention that its still a canon with a retractable claw that comes out form under the laser, i thought the claw element with knife makes her look way more menacing.
d.hynes: thanks! is the one I will be doing for sure: ]
BetelGeist: thanks!
slipgatecentral: it will be gone for sure.
So my update is a more complex Samus and something to make her look way more evil. I don know her story just yet. I will not have a helmet in the final version. (sorry my line work is so messy) Please C&C ::]
rad!
somehow from the distance it look like demon-posessed samus, probably those red bits, giving an impression of organic matter fused with armor
but, sir, I think you nailed it!
I kinda like it now with helmet though ( I fucking love cool helmets).
Maybe do 2 versions of her, one with face and haircut? Just sayin.
With the helmet, I think you can push it further. Right now, it kinda feels skull-like; but not a lot. Don't push it too far though, but a little more would be cool I think.
And yeah, I'd like to see the helmet and also see her under it. Maybe for her pose, have her holding her helmet being all bad-ass. I don't know. It's all pretty awesome though. I still don't quite understand the tail though.
Helmet + underhelmet hair is a winning combo for me. I think one of the coolest aspects of turning any character evil is to have a hint of that "person they used to be" being evident, as a sort of constant reminder of who it really is who's fallen to the dark side.
I think the bits of hair help get that message across. They help show, "This is Samus." I think without them it feels a little too automated, it allows for the viewer to think that it could just be some other person in an evil looking evil Samus suit.
Liking the design as a whole, but just wanted to voice that real quick. My only other critique would be try not to possibly overdue the red accents everywhere. I sort of liked in your initial quick concepts how you had that red drawing you towards the helmet/torso. With red accents everywhere it sort of feels like it pulls my gaze apart.
Great armor design. I think the tail would benefit from a more dragon-like style, with armor plates going down the spine. The tail just stands out too much at the moment. I also agree with some other comments about the hair coming out from under the helmet, I liked that look a lot.
Loving the latest concept. Add me to the list of people who'd like to see her posed without the helmet in your final entry! That face and hair are just too cool looking to be covered up.
slipgatecentral: thanks! I will try to make her head swappable with a helmet, at least her holding it.
Onuris: thanks! yea holding her helmet would be cool, ima have to try it out : ]
Girando: thanks man, hopefully i can make it worth the revisits : ]
Bishop313: thanks! yes i agree, i dont do many women faces. oh man that came out wrong.
EtotheRic: thanks! yes I will try to have glowy bit scattered around her armor.
Two Listen: thanks! yes i totally agree with the red in these images, i would like to stick with this color scheme but the placement isnt final, mostly just notes on what parts are what in my messy drawing.
NuclearWarrior: thanks!
akacg: yea that was one thing i made a mistake about was saying how it would function. glad it makes sense now : ]
Siliqk: thanks! the tail was something that i just wanted to put on for shits and giggles, but i also wanted to give her a light saber whip till someone mention to make her tail sorta like a light sable whip tail, and of course that will have to happen.
55joe: thanks buddy!
Jigsaw: thanks! that is coming up as we speak
Bogdanbl4: thanks man!
So this is nothing to different just the version with her face. I am leaning towards this and her holding her helmet, we will see, I will try to make her helmet swap with her head for sure. IF i have time.....
I should have her block complete and to post soon : ]
love the concept.....the shapes remind me of the older fewture stuff that Nirasawa did, but with a technological arm twist rather than insect.....now add another dimension please
woogity: thanks! I am blocking everything right now, it;s in a retarded form but will be up this week for sure : ]
seth.: thanks! Nira is one of my all time favs and it's funny i didn't look at anything this time for direct ref, so it honors me so to hear a comment like that, almost made tears come out of my face.
Inpw: thanks!
womball: thanks and funky bunnies has that covered ::]
dustinbrownl thanks! me too, this will be my first non insect demon thing in a long time : ]
MakkonL: double thanks!
Funky Bunnies: thats fucking golden. i want one. now.
Buckster: thanks! you know what, i agree i was messing with a couple more options.
Maph: thanks! I did want to keep it as close to samus
Status: still working on my block, shes got so many pieces :: [
heheheh no worries just to clarify now that I re-read my post I meant dimension as in 2D becoming 3D.....it looks like i was saying dimension as in angle/concept/hook in a kind of asshole way....whereas its already ace enough....sorry .....anyway onwards!
This look really awesome! I can't wait to see how this one comes together. I love the concept though. I think you managed to put together something that not only respects the source material but takes it in a direction that looks great and makes sense. Great stuff.
DKK: i really hope to add it if i have the time, this is already an undertaking without the chesticals, i will try though
Dan!: thanks!
seth.: ooh ok, i was thinking more along the lines of the universe dimension.
Eclipse:thanks! that's what i was going for!
so this is my block! well a little more so than just a simple block I wanted to get all my pieces as figured out as a can. not posed at all that's comming soon and the bangs are just pure place holders and the knees changed. please C&C all day aye day. not posed at all that's coming soon.
really nice conversion man! are you not going with the super long hair from the concept? or just not done blocking it in yet? o on crits, i think the ankles could be a tad beefier. looking awesome tho!
woogity: thanks! this is only placeholder bang just so thats its not in the way of the suit and also i dont know about what pose ill be going with just yet so i want to do the bangs in conjunction with that. and I agree with the ankles.
So this is the concept sculpt and ps work on the face while i finish up the hard surface bullshits. please feel free to C&C!!!!!!
so this is high poly so far, had to call it quits with details and started the retopo and baking. the rest of the details such as seams will be added through Ndo or something.
the hair will be like the concept not all stupid like it is now, ankles will be thicker and maybe the knees as well. any crits please let me have them!
