DWIII - 3D - Mr.T - Coming soon

-Update-

Race: Human
Class: Invoker
Artifact Weapon: Light/Holy

"The Orphan Unit"

We always talk about men and women going for war, but what about the kids?
The Orphan Unit was made few hundred years after the disappearance of
electrical and mechanical systems, the big war between the 9 rival planets
killed too many, leaving children on their own.

Because of their unknown future, and because many of them wanted revenge
and unleash their rage given from their loss. They joined a special Unit called
"The Orphan Unit", where they will learn the art of magic fighting.

The Orphan Unit became quickly one of the deadliest Unit ever made, many
warriors didn't expect such power from a child, and many warriors simply
couldn't fight against them. The power of imagination of a child is enormous,
this gives a wider range of magic spell / weapon, they can hide easily also.

Many warriors still think that "The Orphan Unit" is a legend, something the
planet of 3dtotal made up to scare others. It's a good thing, cause they are
not expecting what will come.

Current concept progress:

Rought Idea (still unsure about it):

Yeah. I like it. But the design needs to stand out there, so be careful... You could easily just create a bunch of kids that don't stand out. I guess you need to think about how you would make a kid look threatening. As you say: "many warriors didn't expect such power from a child, and many warriors simply couldn't fight against them"...

Therein lies the key, I suspect.

nice idea. are you going to make one child or a bunch? because once you start adding 2-3 guys in there the tri's are going to rise (and the detail on each down)

Yeah it's a tricky concept, I need to think more about it. It was more like a kid
casting a magic beast or something over him, to protect, and attack enemies.

Well, you could always suggest there are more than one by the way you arrange your concept art, and then home in on one.

here is a thought, do with it what you want. But you could always take a simple plane and use an oppacity map on it to cut out the shape of another child, then with the oppacity map, you can play with the oppacity, so in the end, you would have your main child standing in the front with like 4-whatever dark child like figures standing behind him.

That's a really good though! I'll think more about it (there is no rush )
but I like it.

Yeah lose the cape...

Maybe explore the stereotypical old-english style orphan; malnutrition, raggy clothes etc.

Or even explore the idea of a hunter style character. He could have a shaggy dog as a mounted pet...

I'd love to see this head towards an old english style or a more ragged look to the character. At the moment with the red cape it looks like he's playing dress-up... not war Just give him some red jocks to wear on the outside

From your story i picture a dirty ragged, hardened child. This has more a feel of schoolboy IMO. Love the concept. Love the idea! Really looking forward to see where you go with this!

BTW: Why is everyone doing red and blue? some type of Orange would work nicely to really make the blue sing lol.

It looks too much like Tetsuo imho. I will loose the cape as you said,
I think I found another nice outfit I'll post that after work

Thank you all for the feedback

Deathcab, you rock ^^ I will keep some details from this ref, I will also
go toward Anekin Skywalker when he was young (I like the simple outfit)
and will add few details.
