V3N0M - Dominance War 2

[V3N0M]

I was on the battlefield, a medic healing the wounded, and dreading the stupid war that brought all this suffering... then the fools unleashed theyr weapons, a blinding light rushed toward us, incinerating everything - trees, buildings, animals, people, the very ground. As I awaited an inescapable doom I just kept screaming "You fools! What have you done? YOU FOOLS". Noone could have survived, we were standing on Armageddon... and then the flash came, my comrades, my pacients, my wife, my children... al gone in an instant... I felt my body being turned to dust, my very soul burning... not from the heat, but from rage and thirst for vengence on those blind idiots that condemned us all with theyr stupid wars...
But then I awoke, reborn, no longer a weak peace of meat but a creature of metal, pure and strong... time has come to punish my executors, to make them see the light... and then perish from it just as I did.
V3N0M is here! PH33R ME INFIDELS!

[V3N0M]

First basic concept:
http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e306/Madman_V3N0M/Sketch/Shadow_1stconcept.jpg
It's a Switchblade assassin, normally looking innocent and harmless it can transform into a killing machine with double switchblade wings and flying killer drones and with energyweapons. With her right arm she can do anything from erase ur memory to shortcircuit ur motherboard and with her left one she can just blow you apart.. so she is well suited for assassination, espionage, infiltration, or just mass homicide or even demolition jobs... nuff said, need a better concept now :D

[OnyxIdol]

Interesting. You should keep the additional-eyes-poppin-out-of-head thing.

[V3N0M]

I will, I'm also thinking of a couple of eyes poping up on the back of her head

[gridlinked]

Ah, a paranoid machine :drool: j/k

I like the four eyes aspect, dunno about the teeth - it suits your avatar hehe i'd try those pointy sharp things turned to the front, and made a bit smaller, it would make it more agressive looking, menacing, imo.

keep up the good work!

[funkdelic]

LOL
uncle venom wants you dead, very creative! hope to see some creative ideas too hehehe

good luck!

[plasma3d]

nice concept venom and it looks like venom :)

Did some head versions, I want the default face to look inocent and the killer one to look... erm... killer XD
And her/his? arm weapons have different functions, the right one is for defense and infiltration, with it she/he? can change memoryes, change information both on hardrives and neurons; the right hand is for destructive purposes, firing various energy weapons and even creating a sword. The detachable drones can be used to amlify his energy weapons. For example with the he can create an energy sword powerfull enough to cut a planet in half XD

Another small update, geting used to my shadow, and also trying some ideas, like different teeth styles and the idea of a longue razor tip tongue to pull a few arems or heads towards those pointy teeth of hers.

I need a little moar feedback on the teeth and tongue thing :P

[TheWinterLord]

Keep pushing your concept I think it will kick some serious behind when you are done with it! Register a thumbnail at the dominance war site, yes now!

[V3N0M]

Hmmm... I need a name first :/ ...
I was thinking A.N.G.E.L. - Apocaliptic Neo Generation Electronic Liberator... or whatever :P that was just kinda off the top of my tiny brain... sugestions?

[gridlinked]

Love that name V3N0M! You should keep it.

Regarding the mouth area, the tongue is always a classic, it could be electrified so when it touches or tries to wrap itself around an enemies' neck, it would shock him into submission :evil:

The teeth version i like the most is the one on the bottom left corner.

[V3N0M]

Hmm I was also thinking of other acronyms... like DVL (devil) but I think I'll stay with A.N.G.E.L. even if it is a bit corny, I only need a cooler acronym for it :/

[V3N0M]

Another update, pushing my concept a bit further, more blades, although the one on the head makes it look a bit bad, maybe I won't use it...
Feedback pls!

[V3N0M]

http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e306/Madman_V3N0M/Sketch/Shadow_4thconcept.jpg
Long time no update, I am geting closer to my final concept... kept what I liked from my previous ones and it seemed to have too much of a plain armor so I added a few details...
Two more details to settle:
how the mouth opens up
http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e306/Madman_V3N0M/Sketch/transform.jpg

and the name
I might still go with A.N.G.E.L. but I also like K.A.I.T.O.U. (japanese he he XD) Killing, Anihilation, Infiltration, Terror(or Termination), Obliteration Unit XD

PLEEEAZE CRIT AND FEEDBACK!

[gridlinked]

Hum... i don't think you have to simulate those human features... i mean, hiding the real mouth behind a fake mouth. Those boobies (is that what they are) look weird :crazy:

What do you think of having six of those things from the back, instead of just two?

[squirl]

i like the eyes and the teeth. maby have em so when the mouths closed the face looks relitly smooth so theres more of a supprise and shock aspect when the face opens to revil the tooth maw like what gridlinked said.
i can already see it hanging upside down from a celing in the dark then grabbing a non-machine with the tounge and drawing their head into 'the toothy maw' XD

p.s. i like the name A.N.G.E.L. but im a sucker for a good japanese name.
pp.ss. you should number the heads and versions of teeth so we can tell you which ones we think might work.

[shadowbreeze]

looking really cool and i agree with what squirl has stated, rip them apart.

[V3N0M]

Ok so I already decide on a design for the head, and it will be without the blade on top and with the teeth being like Grid said in his last post, and yes I want her(him?) to look unmenacing or even innocent and gainign your trust and making you come closer, and closer and then in the blink of an eye just viciously tare you to shreads.
Ohh and I tryed the six blade look but I didn't like it too much, and the thing is she can open those things THROUGH her body! so if you somehow end up huging her wham!!!! XD

Maybe I could loose the lips alltogether :P but then she wouldn't be so appealing, oh and just to bring some sense into this, one of the worldn's most powerfull computers gave me an idea, her cooling system will run on plasma(a.k.a. blood XD) which is why she needs to "feed" XD

[squirl]

i like the innocent/non thretining (wow i wish i could spell) idea, luring the enemy into a false sence of security. bdw, thanks for the refrence pics, mutch app.

[gridlinked]

The plasma thing is a great idea, fits right in with the concept.

[mim]

look unmenacing or even innocent and gainign your trust and making you come closer, and closer and then in the blink of an eye just viciously tare you to shreads.
Wooooo! great venom! I like the idea! :evil:
keep updated here! ;)
goodluck, mim, :haha:

[V3N0M]

@Squirl: no prob, we're all here to help each other right? it's a comunity competition XD
And I still can't decide on how the mouth is going to open but I can work that out when modeling :D
And all I need is a good idea for protection, I already illustrated her(his) energy based defense and offense and manipulation thigamabobs, but I need something more original than just a forcefield if I can find it...
Oh and yes I am worryed about the boobs(which are actually a pair of his faithfull hiller drones) I think Ineed to redesign that area :P
Thanks for comments guys! Please keep em up :D

[FistOfGod]

And I still can't decide on how the mouth is going to open but I can work that out when modeling.

Sometimes if I have a basic idea of what I want to do (and I want to start on modeling and don't have time to draw out every angle) I will model the VERY basic forms and then take a screenshot. I will then just do some very basic/fast sketches of some different ideas of the particular area I am concerned about. When are you planning to show us some more screenshots/concepts? Also, you should check out Ghost in the Shell. The series has some cool shots of body parts being exposed, etc, etc. It might help you with deciding on what you want to do with the head. Keep us posted!

I'm sorry I couldn't update sooner, been having some personal problems, hope you understand.
http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e306/Madman_V3N0M/Sketch/Shadow_5thconcept.jpg
Ok... my final concept, and it's not the greatest but it shows exactly how it transforms, allthough whyle I model I might change a thing or two, I may still make a few sketches with her(him) as I go along just to get to know my character better and think of a wining shot XD Wish me luck, I'm going in...

Ok, here are some random doodles, playing around with poses and scenes and the idea of making my shadow fly...
Anyway, sorry I can't post any more now, but I'll be back with more updates shortly... cheers!

[defaultalias]

venom, who hugs a robot? i wouldn't, nope...
i do like the angry face though, looking like evangelion(over used example btw, just like mr. grievous) keep it up, and refine those poses. then get to modeling. i want to see you finish this.

[Tank[NL]]

i actually really like the hug. the left one is best. kind of femanine, but evil...

i mean. how freaky is it to be in a base or even on a battlefield and suddenly feel the sweet and gentle touch of a loved one, only to find something hell-bend on your destruction, most likely painfull at that.

great idea for a winning pose man. almost something out of a horror movie :D

keep at it dude !

[V3N0M]

Yeh well the idea si that she gains ur trust and then when you hug her like in the first pose and then she goes all switchblade through YOU! and it's a hug of death XD One more concept to come and backstory and modeling wip of course... but a bit later :D

[squirl]

hey v3nom, good to see u posting again. i like the hug idea, even if you dont have the patience to wait for there trust you could just jump on their back and hang on to em as the wings/blades rip em to shreads.

[zerorhythm]

I like the innocent look at the mid. That would go well with the whole "trust" scheme.

[V3N0M]

Ok, so hey peeps! Some of you may have noticed that I wasn't around much lately... And I'm sorry, but in my life right now there are several things that come first, so I know there is still a week or so... but I don't have enough confidence in myself to try and finish this in that timeframe when all I have is a basic unfinished model and I think it's too late to register for the contest anyway. But anyway, this is my official drop out and I'll be rootin for ya! WHIPE EM OUT!
