2D Artist

Well, here is the second concept for my character. Just a quick sketch to get my ideas down on paper.. I'm still not happy with her, so she will change again.

I have changed the dogs to wear armour. The two next to her are her bodyguards, so they will don some heavy equipment. I will probably only end up modelling her and the two main dogs, I may paint the rest into the background? We'll see.

For the girl, she now has "Scene" hair! I have added an armband to her with a few stripey tails extending from it (similar to the tails in her hair). This will match the stripey leather/lace on her right leg.

Some Character Concept Art, I drew in Photoshop for my 3D Design course.

some ideas for a challenge entry

This is my original idea for modeller challenge no. 10 He is a Super-villain who is infested with disease and has still not been overcome by death. Living in such a horrid state he has come to resent the world and has grown to believe that he is living well and those who are healthy are the ones that carry the "one true disease." He struggles against the super-hero as he attempts to "cure" them.

hey guys
this sounds like a great challenge so im jumping right in
i have a concept of a priest white collar, black trenchcoat etc. heres a sketch kinda average but hey i put it on an old z-brush mesh just to get the scale right and i still need to sketch a head lol

Pardon my scribbles, rough concept so far. The head at the top right is the vandalised/damaged version. Still deciding which form I like better.

My 3rd WIP for challenge #10. I think I might have to stop tinkering and move the process along to the next stage to keep on target with the challenge timeline.

21-8-2008 update for sumea challenge

Hi here are some concept art that i made while i was in and out of tafe

Okay here are a few concepts I have been working on the past few weeks for the sumea challenge 10.

Sounds like fun, I'll start concept drawing :)

another character

those are characters I have done for sumea challenge

Well, apparently I have posted my original thread wrong *pout* ..so I will re-post my character development info here. NB: My original idea was posted at 6:54am on Monday 04/08.

"I have been putting a lot of thought into what I want to stare at for the next four months.. I still don't have my character history set in stone just yet.

I once had a dream that I was walking through some of the rougher streets of an area I used to live in. It was very late into the night, quite dark, no company in the streets.. just silence and street lamps. One street lamp in particular revealed a beaten up looking greyhound under its light. It had a strangely twisted collar around its neck made of steel, with some other large claw like pieces of steel protruding from its shoulders, and some wounds. The dog looked over to me from across the street as he started to walk towards me. Eerily, the creature said in a loud but whisperish voice "psssycho!". Quite creepy - and I hope that this doesn't mean that I'm a psycho for real! But anyway, I would love to bring this character to life. Of course, it has to be set in a more realistic fashion, so I plan to have a "driver".

The driver, or controller, of this creature is going to be a young woman. I am going to go along the lines of most of the Batman type villains - they all have something a bit wrong with them upstairs. I haven't decided what mental disorder she has yet. Perhaps as a child she was subjected to see her dogs put through hell by her family - torture, punishment, dog fights maybe.

This woman is going to have hundreds of greyhounds. To implement the talking idea from the dream, she has attached speakers to all of their collars. So when she is going after someone, she sends her dogs in first and talks through them.

Things to leave behind at the scene could be:
-lots of little puppies with the big collars on
-dog tags
-collar
-a leash, or chain

Things that could motivate her to kill:
-people that put animals up for show (horse racing, dog fighting etc)
-animal cruelty
-someone or something being subjected to unreasonable punishment

Going to think a bit more on it today, I would like to start drawing her up soon :)"

The image I attached to this post is my first pencil sketch of her. Sadly, she has no name right now.

I'm going to try out this here journal thingy for my posts for the challenge. In this post are my initial sketches as I work up a couple if ideas.

im not a big conceptual artist but this will do for modeling.

I've finally got a concept, still ironing it out but the gist of it is:

My villain was a cyclist, obsessed with performance and will do anything that will give him the edge. He was very frail as a child and was looked down upon by the other kids. Now the tables have turned and his hate makes him strong. That and the drugs, witch are the reason he doesn't compete anymore, having been banned for life by the Anti Doping Committee. In his quest for performance he has succumbed to performance enhancing drugs, without witch he would struggle to even breath, the key to his power has locked him in cage, eating him alive. Slowly dieing in his empty shell, madness draws parallels in his mind, just as people formed the path of his destruction, so too is the planet slowly being to choked by the emissions of countless cars. The weak rule the world, while the strong are seen as outcasts. Out of the corner of his eye he sees the glint of a syringe. His purpose is now clear, in order to save humanity from itself, it must be culled. With the syringe in his hand, he walks into the night. Judgement begins.

this is the face i think I'm going to go with. I'm going to throw out the prosthetics idea all together.
Also his left eye.

hey there, my name sam and I’m a new comer to sumea. at the moment I’m studying at the AIE doing the Advance Dip in games.

so after introducing myself this is my idea for the Sumea Modeller Challenge #10. it's still in there air and i think he might be to fantasy to fit in with the brief.

anyways his name is Malcolm fletch aka parasite, the story begins when Malcolm was young he developed an immense case of elephantiasis of the foot and arm. after seeing many doctors Malcolm discovered a new treatment that hadn't been tested on humans before. the idea developed by MTS corp. (medical treatment studies corporation) was that to fight this parasite with another parasite. this new treatment was given to 20 different people with elephantiasis and after a few hours they were cured, we'll for a while. after a few days all of the test subjects died, all but Malcolm. the parasite in Malcolm body began to get bigger and more aggressive and this new super parasite took over his body and his mind. now Malcolm, wants to infect those who made him how he is by injecting them with his blood. the reason why is because he wants the scientist at MTS to develop what he has so that they feel the urgency of making a cure. but unfortunately the anomaly does not happen to any of the people he infects they just die after a few hours.

Here is my current body of work starting from the beginning of the year, I will keep adding to it as I complete other art pieces. I am just about to start a Diploma of Advertising and Graphic Design at a Tafe here in SA, which should be some fun =).
Any comments or questions about any of the pieces would be most welcome, it is the best way to improve and be motivated!
I am also looking for work which I guess half the people on this site are =P.
Regards Adam.

I've neglected my Sumea profile again... it's been so long I see that the website has grown an extra letter since the last time I uploaded anything.

Most of what I've been doing is 2D but I might eventually upload some of my older level work (and perhaps newer).

I'm also going to be at Animania in Sydney later this month.
