[liquidbear]

best off luck to you 2 and to everyone lol i feel there will be a mass off entries and my good luck button will melt lol :D

[NinthJake]

Good luck to you too man, will be exciting to see what you will come up with :)

[GlennTKD]

Good luck MR. Bear :-)

[liquidbear]

Little story idea:

The past god of water died in the battles of the past wars. As he was to leanient with humanity allowing them to use his resource to power there machines of war untill there power out grew his own.

His daughter watched powerless as her father died by the hand of the previous war winners. They mocked and tore his corpse to pieces to be spread as trophy's to the winning nations.

As her father died his powers are bestowed onto her and her rage towards all the mortals over grows in her soul. Her mind twisted by revenge she crushes the war machines from the inside using the water that powered them.

Using her newly bestowed powers she personally jumps into the battle field to destroy all who stand in her way. Using the water she makes many kinds of weapons to slay the mortals. As the other gods watch as she slays the mortals with no remorse they enter the war to take her power away from her.

Now her attention is to destroy the gods who stood and watched as her father died by humanities hand and now to try stop her revenge...... nothing will stop her now from destroying man and god alike !!!!

[discmage]

Good luck with doing some cool stuff with water...difficult, but could be impressive indeed if you do it well! :)

Looking forward to seeing more :)

[cybbota]

Using the water is pretty cool. I would imagine her body would be made out of liquid?

Good luck to you!

[paulius-st]

I would imagine her body would be made out of liquid?

Was from the context man, I totally understand what you write, and it's clear enough for me. And in a general way you make good constructives comments! :D

[liquidbear]

thanks guys im gonna keep bashing out concepts till mid next week :)
i will keep posting

[capitan_popo]

seems like u are getting votes on all of them hahah but I would go for number 2

[GlennTKD]

Ok man i'm going for 3, i just really like the outline

[dhin]

I like 1 and 3 in the new sketch.

[Rych]

3 seems good, but the last one has a lot of allure to it too...and some personality

[liquidbear]

thank you all for your support and help :)

[liquidbear]

first one is a developed one from previous :drool:
2nd is a water gun weilding version with the pipe attatched to her back
3rd is..... em ....... she is wearing a threedy total thong that must count for something ha:dance::dance::dance::dance:

[liquidbear]

just looking back the gun one is probly the worst on that page hahaha and thats standing next to a octapus in a bikini

[liquidbear]

bad photoshop skill AWAAAY :D

[washka]

I think she's still too human, like Hula said: "Think epic!!!"
(Yes I know, when you read it, it sounds easy...)

Develop this shoulder spikes thingie.

[liquidbear]

okies :D back i go to the drawing board

[liquidbear]

this better :D

[Warlock 279]

I know I'm kinda late to the party with this, but I'm liking the third one on your concept sheet in post #21. While it doesn't necessarily scream "water" its got a really nice shape and flow to it. The concepts since don't seem to "flow" quite as nicely in my opinion.

[liquidbear]

never 2 late warlock thanks :D

[liquidbear]

basic low poly mesh so far

[liquidbear]

more updates in morning

[zugok]

I like concept #3 too.

:-)

[koyima]

Can't see anything that says water on her though liquidbear. Maybe something fishier, on the hands, on the torso on the legs.

[liquidbear]

i have few new added fins and stuff but have a change in my story and design a bit.


im thinking off adding to the story that when she finds out the gods are fighting over immortality she bottles up the only key to there plans "the fountain of youth " and carries it on her back. Not only defending it from the other gods and mortals she now lusts after its power for herself as her whip "leviathan" is powered from the waters them selves

[liquidbear]

just an idea

[koyima]

Nice addition to the story, so she will have a bottle thing or bottles on her back. Still can't see her as aquatic though. Maybe the colors will help.

[koyima]

i was writing at the same time.... now i see the fins.

[liquidbear]

its a fairly large jug :D

[Whitewidow]

I like the water jug but it doesn't convey a Goddess to me. Looks more like an alien slave, humping H20 from the nearest pump. What about if you made her half insect or something, like a waterboatman or a mosquito, and incorporated the jug to look more like an abdomen. You could make it look like it was filled with water or something.
Just an idea

[paulius-st]

nice start. i like the design :)

[transfixion]

I like the water container idea. Organically incorporating the water inside the Goddess would be cool though. And I also liked your initial silhouette sketches :)

[wil_himura]

Sweet start, the container thing reminds me of Gaara from Naruto and I'd really love seeing some water flowing out of it too on the final image. The God itself flowing out of it is cool already tho :D

Great work!

[liquidbear]

thanks all for the comments and support :D

[SnappedStrings]

Hey bear, looks like you're off to a great start here. I think your earlier concepts were moving more in the right direction than your later concepts.

Also, I have to say I'm against the water jug idea. I think it makes her look a little bit too much like a traveling merchant of sorts.
I think a better solution to the jug would be a smaller glass vile that she could wear as a necklace or otherwise carry in her hand. Perhaps even storing them in a globe on the end of a staff or something like that. I just think the water jug is too gaudy/cumbersome.

The fins are a good addition though, but I would consider toning them down a bit. Think Abe Sapian from Hellboy. Also, I think the face needs just the slightest bit more definition. The profile view makes the face look very flat, so perhaps just a slight bump to the nose area would help it.

Great work so far, hope these comments help you and good luck!

[liquidbear]

cheers for all that snapped strings :D the jug is just a concept idea but i have another idea for it but i will post a pic off what i have in mind tonight or in the morning.

the fins are going to be more tucked in at the final i just have them spread for showing :D
As for the face im not to happy with it either and will explore alot more avenues during the week. I want to give her a fishy head and the first one i went for is Paraná type.

Now on the weapon front i am going with a whip buuuuuut ... how does the head of lavethan sound with the mouth open and the water whip spewing from its mouth. As the body is wrapped around her arm.

Thanks for all your support people i love your comments good or bad.

[washka]

Hands parts need some more work. Keep it up. Good work so far!

[liquidbear]

sooooo the kraken in the jar idea ..... :D
Her whip is next and it should look fairly cool ... i hope

[SnappedStrings]

If I'm understanding you right, you want to do a sort-of Prince of Persia 3 type thing, where the whip wraps up her arm? Then have the head of the leviathan as the handle and a water-spout whip?

Coz that sounds seriously badass

[liquidbear]

exactly :D

[washka]

I like how this one is turning out, but, I don't know, shoes don't seem to fit with the rest. (Subjective opinion)

[liquidbear]

i have a few ideas for new foot ware :D

[Crispy4004]

Some things are getting lost in translation from your 2D concepts to 3D model. The big difference is your 2D is considering the flow of the form and building on it. This is something you need to resolve ASAP if you want the entire figure to work. Extra parts and definition should feel like an extension of the flow of the figure and the only real way to make that happen is to nail the sense of weight of your base.

Think about how even in a symmetrical stance, you have a pose. Go look at yourself in a mirror from the side and take some deep breaths. Watch how your arms and neck react when your back ever so slightly shifts. Your body constantly balances itself to keep a natural relaxed pose, so that's what you need to model from.

(artist refereced #1 (http://www.elfwood.com/~seamus), artists referenced #2 (http://www.lorenklein.com/darren/index.html))

Arch that back pushing out the the rib cage and abdomine, rotate those arms slightly back, rotate the hands back as well. (I personal would bring the arms slightly in, but you don't have to) Then look at say the shoulder pad, it's straight, flat and boring, killing the natural curves of the body. Make it follow some implied lines and you'll have a much stronger model.

I know this all probably sounds like common sense, but it's something everyone needs to remind themselves of from time to time. Again looking at your 2D stuff, I know you've got it. It just has to carry over a little better.

[liquidbear]

cheers for all that :) i know about the arched back i am going to do alot off anatomy studies in zbrush ... I am gonna change up that shoulder pad now cheers for pointing it out :D

I must say thanks alot for pointing this out to me it helps alot more to crit something :D

[liquidbear]

ok that was a looong weekend without 3d ha
i am starting my sculpt now with a few problems that when imported from max my meshes change topology ??
so i took a break from fixing that and made a few 5 min sketches of whips handles

[Kaiune3D]

I like the overall shape of 2 but with the fish head look of 3

[paulius-st]

i like nice shapes of 1 and i like the fosh head of 3. so i think 1and3 combined would look great :)

[liquidbear]

donload ubuntu, burn it to a cd/dvd, reastart with Boot from CD, once ubuntu loads see if you can find the drive, if you still can't we need to resort to recovery techniques.
