TheSplash · Mar 2009

Getting warmed up with Alchemy.. and some creeps.
Might give some "norms" a go next.

Kamui · Mar 2009

Nice start! I dig the forms on 2 and 3. They are solid albeit a bit generic. Not sure about the no legs in 2 though.

spaceidiot99 · Mar 2009

I like #5 as it looks to me to be the most unique design so far. Very Nice use of Alchemy. I like the white on black thumbnail style.

Bal · Mar 2009

Nice thumbs! Yeah 2 and 3 are the most classy, but maybe 5 is more original.

leslievdb · Mar 2009

nice thumbs you got here, 2 and 5 get my vote

audi100 · Mar 2009

haha floating skullguy is cool. Like 5 too except the midle part.

Inpw · Mar 2009

I like 2 and 3. Perhaps 3 is more because of legs.

Ged · Mar 2009

2 and 3 are cool. Try giving 2 some legs maybe?

woogity · Mar 2009

2 definatly the hailo is a nice touch too

-woog

TheSplash · Mar 2009

Gave some mechs a go

garagarape · Mar 2009

Great! I like the Mech number 10 and the number 2 from Demon clan
(even without legs --> Reminds me of a boss in "Star Ocean 3").
Can't wait to see what you'll do for the Norms.

Slipstream · Mar 2009

Love that presentation

I like 1 and 5, especially 5. 6 and 10 also seem really interesting

Scrumpy · Mar 2009

2,3 and 8 get my vote cool style.

peppi · Mar 2009

Hell yes! Awesome work, I love all of these. You might as well skip the norms sketches though since proceeding with creep#5 is an absolute must.

lorddon · Mar 2009

I loved 2 immediately. Can I also say I love the inverse silhouette (white on dark) you went with? Awesome stuff.

mat · Mar 2009

3 has a great look but 5 is just begging to be turned into a model. nice concepts

number 2 eh' Jesus-

TheSplash · Mar 2009

Thanks for all the comments guys.
2 and 5 seem popular, they are among my favorites too, so I might revise them or even combine them. But I'll take another look in the morning with fresh eyes.

Last batch before I sleep, here are some "norms" only 3 this time

Deathelmz · Mar 2009

Too Bad you Have to choose only one eh?

r4ptur3 · Mar 2009

8 and 10! sweet use of alchemy

Enderstaley · Mar 2009

Holy Bajesus! 11 and 6 are my favorites if i had to choose just 2. love your alchemy work. i would have never thought to work in white instead of black. Awesome!

mat · Mar 2009

no.12 looks pretty kickass. the design of the head dress in the 13 is cool, possibly transfer that to no.5. just a thought
very nice set of thumbs you got started here will be great to see a model from any

Goon · Mar 2009

OoOOo I love 12 ! but id like to see a different type of arm on him, the dragon head doesn't quite do it for a demon... IMO. It would be really cool to see so organic weapons embeded over his form.

great stuff.

konstruct · Mar 2009

5,7,12 REALLY like the execution and presentation on these (what font are you using for the old english?)

indian_boy · Mar 2009

wow @ 12!

try giving him huge wings that can actually support his weight. that miiiight be interesting?
i dunno

i like ur first set too btw
of those, 2 made me jiizzzz in my panntssss

AcidLehmann · Mar 2009

#5 and #12 AMAZING STUFF.

MegaMoogle · Mar 2009

2 and 13 are my favorites, I can't wait to see what you come up with!

wake · Mar 2009

Some nice thumbs Splash. My main crit is that while you do a good job of varying proportion, with the exception of #2 all of your designs are bipedal. And 2, while well executed, is a bit on the banal side so I wouldn't recommend going with it. Try mixing things up more-- you should feel uncomfortable when popping out some of these designs; if you don't then that's probably because you've seen it somewhere before. Also, try doing more in 3/4's perspective instead of profile-- you don't necessarily want the silhouettes to be precisely defined at this early a stage.

All that being said, you've got some strong thumbs in the bunch.

Keep it up.

coldkodiak · Mar 2009

5 for me. Hawt.

Emil Mujanovic · Mar 2009

Some seriously cool thumbs here with very interesting silhouettes. Top work so far.

fightpunch · Mar 2009

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE thumbs man, loving number 5 and 12 personally but to be honest most could be turned into something great.

TheSplash · Mar 2009

Thanks again for the comments guys!
OK, so here is number 5 and 13 combined, pretty happy with the resulting balance.
If I do take this on to the model stage, I will try and get back some of the rawness of the shapes from no 5 though, kinda lost them when re-drawing it.

Will try and play more with some of the other designs as well.

Enderstaley · Mar 2009

holy crap thats awesome! im not even sure if you can push that any farther. more sketches look amazing, keep it coming

TheSplash · Mar 2009

Playing with some elements from 2 and 3

Jeremy Wright · Mar 2009

Seriously, Splash, these all look really great. 5&13 is killer, btw.

kite · Mar 2009

man these are brilliant, your 5&13 combo is really good, love to see more

jerry · Mar 2009

I like 2+3 alot, great sense of mass. The other combo is cool too but the hole in the pelvis area is pretty weird.

This will be a kickass entry, keep it up.

mat · Mar 2009

yay 5 and 13 together, totally kickbooty. just love the different shapes going on there. plus lanterns

dfacto · Mar 2009

Really like 10 from the first page, but maybe more arms like this? http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/1751/splashoverpaint.jpg

Needs the scrote too.

rawkstar · Mar 2009

these are all really awesome dude!

Enderstaley · Mar 2009

2 and 3 look amazing together, i like it better than 5 an 13 but only by a little bit

Mark Dygert · Mar 2009

Any chance I can talk you into doing them all? No... ok then 1/2 get my vote.

binopittan · Mar 2009

shit dude this is so full of win. the latest 2&3 combo gets my vote. i think i,m gonna post a link to your thread in other's forum spythread =P

conte · Mar 2009

fakin kul vork, tovarisch!

Jeremy Wright · Apr 2009

Hey, Splash. Where you at?

These sketches are so promising. If you can't make the deadline with a 3D entry, you should at least kick out a 2D one. They're all really good.
