FINAL RENDER:
CONCEPT SHEET:
I was going for organic, exo-skeleton almost fantasy-like knight. I really wanted this character to be all about interesting shapes and shadows. I started out with some pencil sketches and then went digital to further the silhouette and design. I then modeled some base shapes and painted over to create the final concept.
T POSE:
The orbs features some volumetric lighting which were later added in the compositing phases. Yay for learning new skills!
FINAL RENDERS:
I hope you enjoyed. I am a 2d artist by trade but have always dabbled in 3d. This is my first ever "legit" 3d-model so it was definitely a learning process, but fun nonetheless!
I actually found out about this contest just recently and I'm rushing to get something done! Normally I would do something fantasy but I'm really pushing myself to learn some new skills.
This is my first sci-fi/tech-y character concept. Here are the initial sketches:
The idea is a sci-fi knight with an organicly-shaped skeleton and an exo-shell of armor--making him very agile and light.
I decided to begin sculpting/modeling some shapes for a cleaner direction. Here is the block-in:
i then took this into Photoshop and started painting a detailed concept:
I am now scrambling to get this done in 3D! Wish me luck.
