Dominance War V - 2D - The Immortal - washka

[Warlock 279]

I like where you're heading with the wings and the ring behind him. If you made the ring really intricately detailed I think it could work really in contrast to the ferocious rawness of the god himself. Same for the wings, you could get a neat contrast between really soft feathery wings against the carzy monster.

why would u put little puppies next to a killing machine?

anyway, great stuff, keep em coming!

Thanks day, really, appreciate your support!!!
Warlock279 it'll be done, Cordero you'll have to wait for the lill' puppies, I think it could answer your question, but here's an explanation [Edit]:

[chris_solo]

I really like your work my friend! I will follow your thread

[washka]

Thanks chris, me too (even if you're on the bad ssiiiide of daa fooorce).

WIP right puppie, I'll need some ref:

[GregStrangis]

I like the idea of creatures following him underneath, but right now those dog creatures are so massive making him pale in comparison. Would be cool to make variations of demons and such flowing out from around him to show the scale of your God, maybe the ring behind him acts a portal of sorts? Just throwing random ideas out there for ya =P

[washka]

Thanks for your constructive comment GregStrangis.

Hmm, that's not a bad idea, really, and I like it.
The problem for me it's that last war's big 2D winning entry was some kind of big darkness (comic) guy and it was quite the same thing and I do not want to repeat that.

But I think that the comment you made about the sizes comparison is right.
I could make those two pets smaller or a bit smaller (I think maybe I'll resize 90%), but I want them massives, bigger than the god itself.
Those'll be chained later to the god's hands, under the god's might. those seems on the foreground right now, I'll move them a bit so they go onto the background a bit more.
I think this size comparison will be my big challenge here, I'll have to balance their presence/aura.

I've already got some interesting idea for the wings that will strenghten the immortal symbolic.
I plan to put details onto the background ring surface (I was thinking about symbols), but the portal idea is interesting, what else?

[Puckducker]

Really nice start Washka. I like the overall concept, though I think the wings might be overkill...or at least, the scale of them would seem to overpower your character itself.

With arms that big I would think your dude is good at carrying really big objects. Actually seeing the circle behind his back makes me think he's holding something big up.

[hulahuga]

Oh idea!

You could have him trying to rock himself from the chains holding him to the mountains beside him. The truly fretted god who has to be chained forever so as not to doom the world.

Think some sort of ancient greek Titan, that would be a good ref point.

Then for the scene you might continue on that snow and also use it to portray scale and perspective in a really nice way.

[washka]

I think the wings might be overkill...

I was thinking the same, but I'll use those diagonals/hightlights Puckducker.

Maybe he'll hold the big ball (yeah on threedy we got big b*lls), I'm not 100% sure about actual position of it, I think that I should put it a bit above.

the chains holding him to the mountains beside him

Thinking about Prometheus Hula . I like those titan tales.
I also like the Sisyphus one.

I've noticed by looking through the past DW entries that a majority of Asian artists kick ass at the 2d side of the comp. You've got your work cut out for you.

mix_mash: Yeah, their work skills and secret techniques are big compared to mines, lots of talents especially in 2D, they can use strong symbolics.
What I got? I like asian and especially Japanese culture.
Look.

If you mix Prometheus+Sisyphus+Ariane (and I can use symbolic too) you can get this ball of wool one:

[washka]

I'll put the ball slightly higher (it will support on his shoulders, linked by air/beard), I think I'll block onto this concept because I'm quite happy with it, maybe a second pair of arms, the lill' wings were kinda useful, next is some background work (snow mountains).
Have to think about the threedy symbol too. (Even if there is already a big ball)
Comments always appreciated, your participation make it advance, hope you like the lill' puppies.

[ServantOfTheNoise]

whoa impressive, glad to see some 2d entries. Too bad the belgium beer days in holland are over I'm sure this is a great source of inspiration to us all. Glad you joined the 3d army.

[katana]

Epic. Man Epic.

[hulahuga]

Okay going forward

Perhaps he is the god carrying the universe, or at least the one we know of. A god who walks across the void and frozen wastes for eternity shackled to this world and the next. The one who is truly immortal...

Or perhaps he is carrying it through the "real" world and that ball is something else, but you get the basic picture
