In it!

Ninjas · Mar 2009

Still playing around with ideas-- here is a cyborg. The robot has a human controlled gun.

killingpeople · Mar 2009

Cool idea!

Mark Dygert · Mar 2009

yeaha! Neat ideas but I think you have to keep working on it. The first one is great because its polished and well done. The second makes me laugh a little more then it instills fear.

EVIL · Mar 2009

wouldn't it be better to have a thread for 3d and 2d? since you have to do 2 very different characters.

Ninjas · Mar 2009

hey guys, thanks for the feedback!

I think I am just going to sketch for the first week or two-- then I may start trying to decide on what characters I want to do for what entry

Ninjas · Mar 2009

Sphinx Bot!

bounchfx · Mar 2009

holy shit thats an awesome idea!

jerry · Mar 2009

That is so wild, i love it.

joolz8000 · Mar 2009

SphinxBot is pretty hilarious- I think you're on to something there.

rooster · Mar 2009

shawing!

dfacto · Mar 2009

Holy crap, I'm not even sure what to think about that last one, so I'm going to default to awesome!

indian_boy · Mar 2009

ohhhh shiiiite i like that [the latest image] aloot!

Kamui · Mar 2009

Love the scale of the sphinx. I hope you decide to do something like that or take that one further.

Ninjas · Mar 2009

Thanks for the encouragement guys! I think I may do another pass on the Sphinx-- there are some things I think I could improve

ChaosEidolon · Mar 2009

Weeeeeird...i like it. Push that...the concept is great, but i dont think the design is there yet.

This could be sweet though!

Ged · Mar 2009

sphinx bot is well painted, Im not sure I like the shapes though - the server on its head and the gun in the chest and the tiny legs. I would like to see big powerful legs and more aggresive shapes on the cool bits like the crown and guns.

Zcorpion · Mar 2009

The human controlled gun had me Lolling spontaneously!! hahahaa so funny.. But my fav is the Sphinx Bot!!!:D

HAHAHHuman controlled gun hahahahHAHAH man!

Ninjas · Mar 2009

Thanks for the critiques guys-- Yeah, I am going to have to think more about the Sphinx design. In the meantime something a bit more traditional for Dom War:

Ninjas · Mar 2009

I was looking at the 2D winners last year and took a stab at trying to get the same style. Not sure I completely succeeded, but I am still pretty happy with the image. A Norm with Poseidon's Trident, which lets her control anything in the sea and breath underwater-- I think I may add a pet later.

This is also an iteration on the first concept in the thread.

Snowfly · Mar 2009

You're rocking these concepts Ninjas. Sphinx is rad. It's the one of these sketches that I saw a glimpse of the final picture in my head..raining artiellery on hordes of demons with that expressionless face looming above them. War machine indeed

rooster · Mar 2009

yay for seaweed bra

maybe it could get a little see-through in places..

just sayin'

leslievdb · Mar 2009

cool ideas

i like how your exploring all of the possible races

The last concept looks pretty sexy

machuca · Mar 2009

sphinx bot!

notebookguy · Mar 2009

model the walking creature

haha, yeah, it is a bit much...

Here is more SphinxBot: Detailing out this side view was taking forever:

Kamui · Mar 2009

There's some pretty solid ideas going on here. I prefer the sphinx with the gun on the front. Have you decided which you're going to take into 2D and which into 3D?

audi100 · Mar 2009

sphinx bot ftw. do it

Guess I'am not the only one who saw that anime with the walking house/castle =P

t4paN · Mar 2009

sphnixbot = das pwn. I friggin love that thing's "face"!

Ged · Mar 2009

I like sphinx bot 1(top) with sphinx bot 2s back end

same.

Diwan · Mar 2009

Holy Crabs your sphinx is awesome!

bounchfx · Mar 2009

oh, damn, I always saw the first one as having two legs. missed the other two.

I kinda liked it just having two legs .. haha, still looks great.

don't forget the giant robotic penis laser between the legs!

Ninjas · Mar 2009

Kamui: Yeah, I am worried about the "prow" obstructing the view of the face from a low viewing angle, so I am still not sure how to go on that. I think I may do the Sphinx in 3D even though it will be super hard.

audi100: That movie is awesome!

MoP: Haha, man I misread that 3 or 4 times. I guess I was so worried that it was tasteless that I refused to accept it wasn't tasteless enough

Ged/coldkodiak: Thanks for the specific feedback guys-- I wanted to put some ICBM launchers on the back, but I think you are right that it doesn't read well. I will change it up like you guys suggest.

[edit]

bounchfx: Robo-cock would make it a she-male... ohhhhh, rad. I think if I went with 2 legs I would have to go more in a Easter Island head direction

Kamui · Mar 2009

Maybe put the gun lower on the chest and angle it downwards to blast ground troops? It's gotta have a mean front assault weapon! I agree you don't want to obscure the face.

Ninjas · Mar 2009

Started playing with the colors

dolemite · Mar 2009

OMG.

Sphynxbot is major pwnage.

konstruct · Mar 2009

O_O

!!!HOLY CRAP DUDE!!! this has win written all over it.

Kamui · Mar 2009

Yes! it's really coming together Ninjas. Love the choice of the white face. I see it has a geisha inspired look to it now, which is really cool.

I'm wondering how it would look with a bit of a tail, something short. What do you think?

Zcorpion · Mar 2009

Thats awesome:D mean ass pwnage!
so original,unique and pure coolness:)

Muzzoid · Mar 2009

Looking good.

Be careful with the front and back legs, The legs of a 4 legged animal have joints in different areas for a reason. So technically the front legs elbow is bent backwards.

Kamui · Mar 2009

Hey Muzz, horses are quite different than other mammals. A lion's leg does look like that, however, the elbow should be much further up near the shoulder.

nrek · Mar 2009

Very cool, I love the scale of this thing. I agree with Kamui that the legs, mainly the back ones, would look more natural if they were based off of lion anatomy. I also think that some of that green color that is on the face would look good placed in a few more spots over body of the model so that its not so isolated to the face.

rooster · Mar 2009

im also thinking the legs could use a tweak. either horse or lion, I reckon it should be stood in a standing, joints locked position rather than half bent. if you look at these pics

the feeling of weight shoots straight down the legs, giving an impression of power and strength

Ninjas · Mar 2009

Thanks for the crits guys-- I am still reworking the legs but I have been thinking some for a 2D entry now:

These are kind of warm up for 2D technique

Kamui · Mar 2009

Nice work Ninjas. You know, to make things easier on yourself, you would do the humanoid characters in 3D and the sphinx bot in 2D

jerry · Mar 2009

I want your drawing skills, this is all looking look SO good!

notebookguy · Mar 2009

Work on the first female it has most potential

Ninjas · Mar 2009

This character is Human Plus-- a human whose genetics have been reverted to enhance their magical powers. His gear is the latest in magi-tech; arms and armor back engineered from magical artifacts and mass produced:

Kamui: I have been thinking about that a lot-- I may model this guy or something like him and enter the Sphinx in 2D

[edit]

Almost forgot. Sphinx leg update:

rooster · Mar 2009

cool shit! love these, long neck dude is win
