This should be fun!.. let's see what you cryptic guys got
ENDGAME -
We're taking the idea "checkmate" from chess and working it into a scene here. The idea we're tossing around is a story of warring corporations fighting for world power. The scene will be a cityscape consisting of one massive fallen building (the failed corporation) lying broken and shattered in the shadow of an even more massive skyscraper (the victor). Along the skyline you will see other buildings, all bearing the logo of the victor... one thing will become apparent though. All of the buildings share silhouettes of chess pieces. When this game of chess is over, the queen stands victoriously in the ashes of the fallen king. Game over. This is the real end game.
A few of the motifs are still up in the air with the idea... but it will be largely focused around showing the end game conditions of the game of chess, but illustrated within a game-art universe.
Concepts will be posted tonight.
Yours looks better than what I though of doing, though.
I'll stick to my tetris blocks.
more to come!
i wish i had a scanner
Good stuff guys.
lolwut?
I'd like to see more offensive capablities on the buildings themselvse. Maybe make these battle buildings, arm 'em with stuff. Make the pawns melee with small little wheels and chainsaws. Put giant rocket packs up the queen and missles for range. You guys can really run with the playstyle of each peice for ideas. Lookin' forward to seeing more, this is a kick ass idea!
We don't necessarily want to explicitly show the entire story of what happened to these structures,,,, just show that they are chess related - and let the viewer make up the story as to how the buildings that are still standing put the king into checkmate and crushed his empire.]
Still in the concepting process of figuring out how we'll make sure everything comes across. If we fail, at least we'll have cool looking stuff haha
lol @ death star
I like where this is goin!
just saying so i've said something!
3 reads the most like a building while still maintaining the silhouette, but 5 just looks cool so its a hard choice...
Cool work tho.
In the meantime, I went ahead and did a little blocking out of the knight building... I'm gonna do some paintovers on this guy and determine if I want to round out the chest in front or add some more greeble. Let me know what ya think.
edit: little update
Here's a little edit... I'm gonna try to push my curves on this one a bit more to match the style of yours a bit more. Nice!
each butchess is about 400ft looking at 27k ft over all

still trying to hash out a good composition, will try to post ideas this weekend
We need to talk a little bit more about how we'll do the tileable paneling.
Buttresses are meant to support tall & unsupported walls from toppling over. The knight is tapered and not that tall compared to its footprint, it wouldn’t need the support especially so low at the base of the structure.
Looking forward to seeing it develop.
Not to mention, probably wont even be able to see that part of the structure anyway after the city is placed around it
Ugh, sorry thatl ast image was too huge
