Gift to the Gods - False gods - NeoGeo

[NeoGeo]

This contest was just to awesome so i had to enter

Basic idea. Big ass fake god is being presented a gift from a small boy standing on a cliff. Fake god looks holy and mighty with the sun shining on his back, but also casting a large shadow on the boy.


basic concept image oh yea i'm doing the 3D thing

[NeoGeo]

Tiki Mask Hulk SMASH EGG!!

whahaha

that little egg thing is supposed to be human scale reference

[TNTxGRAVE]

in that case. he is raising his godly pimp hand of doom.
his gift should be an offering of baby podwer to pour on his hand when he has to smack a Bi&#@

[paulius-st]

[NeoGeo]

Started on some cliffs

[Tarik2d]

Cliffs are looking good, I made a good rock/cliff texture for a moutain super high res in photoshop quite a while back, worked wonders

[MightyReg]

It's starting to be nice! Lighting and sky may be a bit overblasted, but I am pretty sure that's not final. You are on the good way!

[wargrafix]

Its a nice dramatic feel.

I'm liking the brighter atmospheric lighting at the moment, coming along a treat :)

[NeoGeo]

[chunkymunky]

best render yet, nice dof too :)

[MightyReg]

Yup the quality of the render is coming out better and better, with all elements in place it could be very interesting!

[washka]

Starting to be interesting. KIU!

[chris_solo]

this has nothing to do but it reminds me the film of Zhardoz :)
great stuff, keep it up.

[andrewhall1234]

This has a great dramatic feel. The god looks nice, and the scene is coming on really cool too.

Keep up the posts!

[NeoGeo]

wow! its really nice. I was concerned the time of day lighting was too bright, but this latest render has more than addressed that concern. good luck!

[C2theG]

I like this one a lot.

[NeoGeo]

Wow! thnx guys appreciate it.

Couldn't think of anything interesting for the second character so, i'm just doing the guy wearing a robe. I think the cloth folds will be interesting enough.

[Crevasse]

Nice, really liking the renders. is the grass 2D or 3D?
