Howdy...

I've taken a look around and seen some amazing work and thought I'd join in the mayhem... here are some recent images I created for a video game concept... hope you like 'em!

these look great. i love the angel and devil concepts, especially their wings and swords.

the devil concept has a few little things about it that bother me though. her legs look a little too short. the succubus/vixen look i think requires long seductive legs, hers look kinda childish. that being said, her sword (another cool concept) is supposed to be resting with its tip on the ground, but it's not convincing (maybe because her legs are so short, so the ground is nearer - i dunno).

the angel looks really nice. the detail in the feathers is fantastic, and she's holding another cool sword. my only crit is her right foot which looks slightly off (if not in angle then just in style, it should be more streamlined and 'dainty'), but that could just be me.

the monster's face is pretty cool too. he'd look alot evil-er if there was a harsher light source, to bring out more highlights and shadows.

these are really well done, thanks for sharing and, uh, "welcome to the boards" (am i the one to say that?)

Howdy Verithin, and welcome
I agree with soupface, and want to add that the devils suit is great while the angels is a bit to simple and clean.

The angel is my fav.
Keep it up and post more!

Thanks for the comments....

I've had a few comments about the 'dwarfish' size of the Evil gal.... I'll try and post a better pic of her (just the colour image) so that you can see the outfit better. Her legs are a bit thick but I think it's actually the outfit that is making her look a bit stumpy... regardless... I hear yah and I agree... she should have looked a bit taller, more seductive.

As far as the sword on the ground and the Angels foot, what can I say... compression is a be-atch.... I'll post just the colour images later on tonight so y'all can have a better look...

Again, thanks for the comments and the critical welcome! Much appreciated... I look forward to being part of this talented community....

cheers...

These are cool. I like the technique with the background texture. BUT, I think the background texture needs to be in the background. What I mean is to push the characters to the front a bit. maybe with some accent lighting or backlighting. Something subtle would do the trick. They seem a little transparent.

Thanks for the comment mcotie!

The whole concept for the game revolves around these characters (actually it's the same girl in all three.. she just evolves over the course of the game) exist in a spiritual realm and are not 'of this earth' as it were. The idea behind allowing the BG to be part of them was to give a sense for that other dimension, how she is part of it... changed by it etc.

I also did these in a rush (don't we all?) and had three (long) days to get these from concept sketch to finished work.... so they are lacking a sense of overall polish...

That being said I'm pretty happy with them all things considered...

cheers!
