Smasher - Concept

[Charles Ratteray]

lookin to push this guy further here are some of the front shots i had worked out:

puttin him in to an animation- the whole idea behind the scene is that he is smashing his way to thru this large atrium/ like room filled with obstacles - all to get to the center where his heart and hands are...... encased in armored glass.

ill keep updating it with final pieces....


thoughts and crits on different ways to push this are most welcome

I like the idea of a hooded mad man swinging rocks around, but I have no idea what that is on his chest. It looks like a smoking hole, and I find that a little out of place. In addition, I like the colors, but can't figure out the head of the hoodless one. Looks a little too vague to me, almost like a ghost or apparition. I would prefer a gruesome man face with a smile wired open and gapping scars.

Duman- yea at first those two notes might appear wierd, but they are story points. the gapping hole is where his heart had been torn out and his soul is escaping...he has to reach the center of that room before its all gone... and the hood less one is supposed to be ghostlike...he represents a soul in conflict ....it will become clearer when i post the storyboards for the action.

[Duman]

Well, that makes much more sense. The only real crit now would be the hole in him looks like a bullet wound. It should be a massive hole, with torn skin and blood hanging off it. That, or some one must have some really sharp fingernails to have a ripped out hole look like that.

hmm..i didnt want the hole to be to overpowering but you made a good point...imma try some variations and see how that looks. thanks for stopping by man
