ART WAR | 3D | Cyborg Vampire | kend

[kend]

Hey everyone Im really excited to get into this Competition, and I'll be on Team SciFi !!

I'll be doing a Cyborg Vampire. So she is a vampire that has augmented herself to transcend other vampires and to be part of a very common trend in the future. Using her immortal paranormal powers mixed with cyborg augmentation she has transcended mankind and vampire kind.

My inspirations for this character are GITS, Battle Angel Alita, Deus ex, Biomechatronics, Warhammer 40k, The art of Adrian Dadich, Furio Tedeschi, Vitaly Bulgarov, and many others I'll be putting together a reference sheet soon and a concept drawing.

Current Update:

Hey guys so here is my first update, Ive been working on my concept/idea and body/face sculpt. Im not much of a 2d person but I wanted to quickly paint something in photoshop just to get a rough idea down, I like to do most of my concepting in zbrush.

The concept art below is quite rough just getting some ideas out there, she is going to have alot of cords and plugs going into her back, neck, and wrists. As for the body sculpt I didnt want to put too much detail into it because most likely it will just be for where to place the robotic parts. Her legs are still a big WIP and she also might have robotic wings.

I have this week off so im getting a good amount of work done, so let me know what you guys think

[fantasymaster]

Metal and flesh, nice! I will check back again.

[kend]

thanks ya Im going for something scary cyberpunk vibe

[TommyGTeguh]

Looks great so far! +1 for cyberpunk. Liking the inspirations and awesome that you have Adrian's work to set up the mood, I dig his work alot.

[bcbedford]

Oh man, that metal skeletal jaw on cyborgs always creeps me out. Good stuff! Looking forward to seeing how you tackle the muscle-to-tech sections.

[kend]

Thanks alots guys
I got some paintovers done and some rough sculpting, just roughing out and blocking out the concept. I definately want to exagerate her proportions very much inspired by adrian dadich's art, and more demonic/horror. The main Idea is that this is a vampire that has augmented and mutated her body to try to transcend and evolve past human and vampire.

As for her face Im still toying with the look, of how augmented she will be. Im liking D but also like the idea of a full metal jaw. Also the blood tubes that are going into her are connected to a pillar of human bodies kind of like the matrix the go into her coffin so while she sleeps she feasts.

Another paintover and blockout update. Still roughing out the concept and all the pieces of flesh and robotics. In my paintover the stuff on her shoulders is this type of demonic flesh growth from the pentagram, Combining paranormal demonic powers with cybernetics. Its something Im going to play around with concept sculpting of the demonic stuff later right now im laying out the robotics and flesh.

Also does anyone know if I'm allowed to show her nipples?

[jlevine]

That's looking awesome so far, great work! And to answer your question, I'm pretty there is a rule against nudity.

[zyp]

Something like if the boss leans over your shoulder would you or them get a bit embarrassed.

I wouldn't mind spread eagle if i am honest lmao but yea i don't have anyone hovering over me so it doesn't bother me.

eh i'd cover'em up strategically.

[aveon]

Oh man @kend I remember seeing your catwoman model when you posted it originally on Artstation, I know I'm definitely looking forward to seeing how this turns out! I mean..I already like how the design is coming out haha (not sure about those sinews over the breasts though?)

[RogerP]

@crazymoon Thanks alot greatly appreciated, definately going for sexy creepy lol

@xaragoth Thanks man, Caroline vreeland in the paintover but im also looking at amber heard.

@LensPitt Thanks! We got the same taste for cyberpunk lol

Hey everyone Thanks so much for the comments, Sry for the late reply work got a little hectic, but now im good to push through this. So here is my last paintover/blockout and a good general idea of where im going with her design, I'm going for Bayonetta inspired proportions and silohuette. The reddish parts of the sculpt are a Demonic symbiotic flesh that her artifact on her chest spills out to give her more powers, im taking inspiration from venom, Nightmare sword, and Chaos from warhammer. She is a cyborg but this artifact can still enhance her. She is a vampire that has used Transhumanism and Demon magic to transcend and evolve past a normal vampire. Next step is to work on her face/bust and hair, I got some insane ideas for her face. Looking forward to what you guys think : )

[eddie209]

Pretty gnarly, I really like the wings.
