[FIghter] Soul Calibur | Lizardman | Damik

Damik

Hi Polycount

I better join in on the fun!

I've chosen Lizardman from Soul Calibur and I think i'm gonna make him more of a tug croc-man from present time.

So far i've only found some reference, but a concept is on the way:)

The thing i'm most split about at the moment is his weapon, if he needs/has any. A gun, a bat or just hands?

But give me your thoughts...

LET'S BRAWL!

ah cool,good to see someone else taking on lizard man, dont think my thread has been validated yet!

woohooo. I hate lizard man, he's needed a redesign since before they started modeling him

Micky Pain

This will be nice.
For a weapon, I could see him with a mean looking hatchet. Not sure about a gun, since that might change him too much from his primal self.

And for some reason I can see him wearing some snake leather...

Damik

Don't know if a hatchet or a firefighter's axe is the way to go. It needs to be something a thug would carry around in present time, that's why I considered the gun.

I don't know... I need to look a bit more around on the internet when I get some time.

Could turn out nice.

It'll be nice to see a redesigned lizard man, he always felt like generic cannon fodder to me.

Phenoth

for weapon, you could use a chain, nockles and a spring knife. Just a though

Damik

Yeah thought about the chain/knuckle-duster combo or just the chain...

Think i'm going for the concepts in the next couple of days.

Damik

I was sketching a bit last night(you get to se later to day) and couldn't decide whether or not to giv him the dino-leg/tail combo or just a no-tail/foot combo.

Personally i'm on the dino-leg/tail side at the moment and then trashing the weapons since the more vicious animal-look destroy the need for anything else than his claws.



But tell me your thoughts on the matter.:)

Two Listen

I'd say dino legs + a tail, but not a terribly long whippy tail like in the original. Perhaps a shorter one.

tonysladky

If you're looking for a thuggish weapon that doesn't change his nature too much, how about a tire iron or a crowbar or a bat with some nails sticking out of it?

Damik

So here's the promised first concept.. as you can see I started with the "normal leg"/no-tail combo, but I think i'm switching to dino-leg/tail as Two Listen suggested.

furthermore i'm thrashing the weapons...

Sukotto

This is a hard one to judge. The thing with LIzardman is that he's basically a lizard standing on two legs with armor and such while your version looks more like Killer Croc in that its a humanoid figure with a reptilian appearance.

Like others are saying, Lizardman is pretty generic looking so it may give you a much broader range to redesign. But right now, your concept isn't recognizable as Lizardman from Soul Calibur just a normal lizardman. Like I said, this will be a hard one to do to keep him recognizable
