Sandman · Feb 2007

This is the initial concept- Arachne we're heading towards. My friend is doing the concept while I'll be handling the modelling chores.

Concept- Sandara
Modelling- Marc

cool, she must have a good sense of balance!

Honolulu_Ninja · Feb 2007

Nice legs, Reminds me a little of zone of enders.

I like the transistion between the "mask" and the rest of the face and neck. GL! Whip it good!

DeathByChris · Feb 2007

damn! that sketch is tight cant wait to see more.

spacemonkey · Feb 2007

great so far!

Sandman · Feb 2007

Here are some more of the intial concept sketches that my buddy has done, its just too bad we only get to have one entry. I liked them all.

I dig the head design in the middle pic

CitizenDown · Feb 2007

great looking concept....I like the organic design and ideas.

I have never been a fan of the pointy foot how ever, I would my self design some feet... but thats just me.

Sandman · Feb 2007

Thanks for the suggestions and comments. Anyone the concept is slowly taking shape. On to color studies now. Here's show early designs for the head-

parasyte7 · Feb 2007

I like the bottom right...lip color and all.

Very nice start.

obson · Feb 2007

nice, these are looking good

indian_boy · Feb 2007

i like the one with the gold design on it...
looking awesome btw

ChaosEidolon · Feb 2007

lol dammit. all these great artists and they only post when there's prizes at stake. You better give some forum love after the war is over!

Looking nice btw, look forward to seeing the body armor fleshed out with color.

rawkstar · Feb 2007

thats really cool, i really dig the multiple eyes on the first one, but i don't know if i dig the horns on either one of those, i guess u'd really want to put it all together to see how it looks with the rest of the character

hawken · Feb 2007

no we are getting evil

more!

Sandman · Feb 2007

More helm designs-

So far, we are quite partial to a combination of the design for head 2 and 3. Keep the comments and suggestions coming. Designs for the body to come soon.

Ferg · Feb 2007

badass and sinister, can't wait to see the rest of the body detailed like the helmet

my kinda woman

DOMINATE!

edit: also, the tatoo-ish design on the head of #2 does look cool, but I think it detracts a little bit from the overall style of the armor design... I'd go with head 3

D4V1DC · Feb 2007

Top far right, Love the design. GL

Sandman · Feb 2007

Starting work on color studies as well as modelling now. Will start to post as soon as there's something worth posting.

Black_Magic · Feb 2007

Nice girl! , very interesting concept.

nacire · Feb 2007

Very nice concept, I like this one a lot. My only problem is that the curvature of the horns is very smooth compared to the angularity found in all of her other pieces. It works, but I don't think it's as married as could be.

Keep it up, can't wait to see the mesh!

struve · Feb 2007

Love the lower legs, so menacing and dangerous looking. I think they could even be longer.

sandara · Feb 2007

hmmm... you've got a point, nacire... i'll definately do some more angular horn designs.
anyway, it's been fun working on this competition so far ^^
thank you everyone for the comments

Sandman · Feb 2007

Here's the basemesh so far.

Japhir · Feb 2007

cool!

W1r3d · Feb 2007

Really nice

But whouldn't the horns on here helmet be bigger?

Davision3D · Feb 2007

Very good basemesh.
I thought that the horns would be more in the front. I really think that would look better.

petrol · Feb 2007

Really nice concept and work so far. Have to agree with Davision3D though. I reckon the base of the horn should be more on the side, with the horn tips pointing forward. Looking forward to more

richkid · Feb 2007

that is rad, that is really really rad. looks like you might have gone a little poly happy around the face and neck, other than that she is as clean as the corpses she fillets with those crazy arm thingys.

post more

RazorBladder · Feb 2007

I adore the concept, I think you'd do the model much more justice if you stuck close to it. The helmet needs some serious rejigging to better resemble the concept.

Dread_Reaper · Feb 2007

Post more pics. Post now.

And reduce the polys on the face and neck.

Sandman · Feb 2007

This is the current sculpt in mudbox. This is the first project that I've tried doing in mudbox, so there's still a lot of experimentation.

sandara · Feb 2007

mmm that torso is shaping up nicely!

stimpack · Feb 2007

I like what u got goin on! keep rockin out. i got not crits as of yet

sandara · Mar 2007

well... this ain't neccessary, but i just wanted to make the concept more complete, so i added some bg to it.

rollin · Mar 2007

damn.. thats nice.. !!

the model should look at least as awesome as this!! *G*

Ged · Mar 2007

that concept rocks! Im looking forward to this one!

Snowfly · Mar 2007

Sandara! great to see you posting art! i see you've locked down the colors and details, awesome, she looks downright deadly. the tattoos do a nice job of transitioning the flesh and boots. nice start on the model too, hope to see you guys at the finish!

Graff Pirate · Mar 2007

very nice concept indeed. one of my faves for sure.

paultosca · Mar 2007

killer concept ...want to see the finished 3d as googd as the concept;)...

Jaco · Mar 2007

Nice! The arms look a bit thin in the 3d version though. Keep it up!

Davision3D · Mar 2007

You really have great drawing and sculpting skills. Cant wait to see more.

deamongi · Mar 2007

dude that digital painting is sooooooooooooo Bad A$$! amazing work!

Sandman · Mar 2007

This is the latest sculpt, but its gonna be pretty rushed for time with work and all that.

Sandman · Mar 2007

spacemonkey · Mar 2007

beef the shldr pads and bring in some of the jagged shapes in the helmet from the concept art. Also she has a really nice V shape going on in the helmet in the concept art that I would love to see on the mesh
Its good work so far

Sandman · Mar 2007

Thanks for the critiques and suggestions. Have started on the texturing, here is the latest update on the low poly model-

JacqueChoi · Mar 2007

Absolutely love the silhouette on the horns and rear legs.

awesome textures!

Sandman · Mar 2007

Thankfully the deadline has been shifted back so now I've got more time to work on the textures.

Cridder · Mar 2007

The blood one this character doesn't feel like blood, or quite look like it. What might help is to in PhotoShop have the blood on a different layer. Give it a Bevel and Emboss layer style and then use the Normal Map maker plugin to create a normal map of the blood (the bevel and emboss helps it stand out you dont have to use it for the color). Then cut out the blood and over lay the layer over top the current normal map, save it and see how it works.

Looking realy cool though
