Concept-Art Contest #4 - EVOLUTION

[Tr!KzZ]

started colouring Stage II...
Edit... I goes to sleep. Wonz get further than this tonight->

I like the crab idea and the style you're coloring stuff, with those step-by-step paintings and how it's getting better and better with those funny little color palettes in the corner =)

It's getting more to a Dragon now, but still needs a lot to do,
but I have to stand up early.. so this is it for today.. I'm not that good in coloring stuff
Here's my Step3 WIP:

@ Just Spectating: Arrgg! Fear the Conquistador-Monster!!!

 

[communist_orc]

[Dark Soul]

Im in! Those it have to be coloured?

 

[communist_orc]

Na... it dosnt. By my scetches look stupid in black/white

 

[Billy the Cat]

It doesn't have to be coloured.
It can even be drawn the traditional way and be scanned.
You could even do it with Paint if you feel like it.
Make sure you got 3 creature designs.

I hope this will do

 

[darkdeathknight]

Hey, I made more concepts of concepts. If you havent seen my previous drawings, it's cos the page was filled with "pen talk" for the whole page...
I did these like a week ago, but never had the chance to put it in.
Anyway...

Front view

And Side view
Couldnt decide how the legs were goind to be so theres a few variations

 

[communist_orc]

way anatomical dude! Studying biology per chance?

 

[dead-man-walking]

I'd say keep the "paw" shape, but use the longer feet instead of it's original feet.

Agree if you by that mean to avoid those huge feet with 3 toes.

 

[jareph]

Here my 3 evolution stage, but i think the concept not really suit the title of "evolution"

so i try to redraw it.

 

[yanbaihu]

Here's W.I.P 2 for the second stage of my creature. The completed first stage is lost somewhere in the other pages. I haven't finished colouring his horns and weapon, but I'll do it A.S.A.P so I can start shading immediately. I hope I can make it for the deadline... it's taking too long to draw. Anyways, please tell me whether I'm on the right track for my creature. Thanks!

Edit : I found the first stage of my creature, if you'd like to see it, it's on page 27.

Na dude, loads of the creatures (including mine) shown dont realy 'evolve'... and urs looks realy awsome right now. dont mess it up.

EDIT: Current situation on all 3 stages (Stage 3 is in a small ship/boat)

Pretty cool, a normally tired concept of a Guitar being both literally and metaphorically an Axe but It works and goes great with your creature since, well it doesn't seem out of place (Random Human guy with Guitar Axe = Normally a Fail, Sound Demon evolving into Metal god with Guitar Axe = Epic Win)

Not no really. Its fine, although I believe second and first is slightly to different from each other, it is way more "noble" in the second one.

Bloody Nice! Can't wait for the last evolution in color.

(Maybe you could even turn them into a nice desktop screen (Would love to have one or all of them as such))

 

[Tr!KzZ]

Pretty cool the crabs, but the more I look at them the more it seems that it's just the same crab, that changes his house to a larger one and with that raises a bit more and gains more spikes and stuff.. but yeah it's also a kinda evolution, which looks cool baesd on a good idea


However, worked a bit more on my 3rd stage, here's another WIP:

This is art theft: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/1402029-post566.html

[Kimbo]

Guys. Copying/Tracing/Eyeball Tracing is NOT a valid entry.
This contest is about using your OWN ideas NOT based on others. It is a CONCEPT art contest, meaning you come up with your own designs and do NOT base them on someone elses concept, eg A current digimon.

Copying the pose, and not JUST the pose, but the linework/art and then changing the horns, toes and colour is still considered a form of them as you are based your concept on others and changing minor things to give them YOUR ownership which isnt right.

If you made sonic green and gave him spots does that mean you own all rights to that character? No, it doesnt. You took more than 80% of the entire composition that doesn't belong to you.

Here is an "example" of what NOT to do in this contest:
Find a generic picture of a dragon, digimon, pokemon etc

Then trace over it (good or bad), change the colours, change his claws/toes, give him horns and add patterns on him.

As you can see, the composition still does not belong to you.

Why is this bad?
1.Is considered theft here in contests asking for your own concepts.
2.Its NOT apart of your original design, you are using someone elses.
3.It gives a VERY unfair advantage compared to people who are basing their compositions on their ideas and their own skill while you copy someone elses who has the ability to define good composition.


This comment comes from talking to Pyritie. I am not a judge of this contest and do not claim to own this contest, but I am here to find people who steal other peoples concepts, designs or art.

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

What exactly did yanbaihu copy, trace, paste etc? (Just out of curiosity)

Also

Yeah I understand the guy tracing the dragon post shouldn't be aloud to use that but didn't he say that he wasn't planning on using that anyways and was just getting used to drawing the pose?

how do you even know about things like this?

 

[Dark Soul]

W.I.P completed first evolution! Another 2 to go..

Skeletal Dragon Evolution 1

 

[Just_Spectating]

you got plenty of time

 

[dead-man-walking]

W.I.P completed first evolution! Another 2 to go..

Skeletal Dragon Evolution 1

For me, it looks more of a 2nd stage rather than 1st stage... Awesome anyway

 

[Tr!KzZ]

nobody said you could trace that by the way

just thought it
Just used it to experience coloring on PC a bit more, never done this before.
It was just a mather of time, someone really noticed the pic and the pose and
says that it's art theft, althouth I tried to redraw it my own and not trace it, first
made it on paper and scanned it, worked with it.
However I'll finish this and redraw it with another pose.

 

[RED BARON]

They use google Just searching around for a short period of time can catch a lot. And they do also see a lot of art everyday so they have a good deal of knowledge about where the art could have appeared from.

good job there -BerZ. i like the pattern on the back

 

[dead-man-walking]

Looks more like a Nerubian now. Nerubians are more humanoid, though.

EDIT: Give the head a spiky plate armor. Will be a lot cooler.

[yanbaihu]

To all the members here of the Hive Workshop.

First and foremost, I'd like to say that I apologize for the art theft that I committed, and I'd also like to say that it was the first. I admit, that day I made the second stage I was stumped on how to make it look more interesting from the first stage of my creature(Which is 100% thought of by me), and I just couldn't get anything into my head. So I fell into temptation and committed the theft. I would like to apologize again, and hope that everyone can forgive me. I have been making honest art all my life up till now, but I still hope that you can forgive me. It will not happen again , I promise.

We found the original by the way: http://www.blackdragon05.de/Home/Bilder/Black-Dragon-Alt_cover_sketch1.jpg

(well actually communist_orc did)

 

[communist_orc]

oki, Crab III is in a boat mutherphoucker.

 

[Xatoga]

His head looks kinda... out of place. I like the one-eyed version you used for the first stage. A crab with a neck just looks silly though.

Who sayed it was a crab? ^^ Na, i get your point. But if the eye(s) r attached to the body theyd bee in the ship... ergo, we´d have a ship/boat with legs & claws... thad would just look silly^^
heres a rough colour concept. have to go soooo last pick 4 today. enjoy & critisize!

god speed

 

[dead-man-walking]

It looks awesome. Like your work. I suggest you upload all colored versions in 1 post, though.

 

[D a w n]

I think your crab should interact with the boat a bit more, as it does not seem to be useful for it right now. But awesome idea

 

[RED BARON]

Enjoy & criticize!

God speed

Hmm I like it a lot and the idea. But something about it seems to thin, might be because you haven't added the cracks in the boat yet.. Still I believe it need some more "fat" on it.. In order to fit better to the good proportions of the first two.

Maybe have the eyestalks poking out of seperate holes. Or his head breaking thru the side of the ship where that awkward little claw is currently trying to bust into the foreground

EDIT: To think of it, WherewolfTherewolf and SpEtNeZz are right. So, THIS IS NOT FINAL.

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Any way I can convince you to make it look a bit more professional by at least going over it with a black pen at the last minute? I get what you mean about the scaling, but for the single pics you made them all the same size anyways
