Concept-Art Contest #4 - EVOLUTION

[Pyramidhe@d]

originally was going to leave this to like last minute, you know as a surprise and all, but since th two evolution thing is screwing me up, i need to show this for validation

what i did was get the current day hyena

Start

The hyena evolved more developed front legs as well as it started balding around the head so it is easier to clean the blood. Nothing dramatic

stage 1

Then the front leg evolved to such an extent that it allowed bipedal movement. the hind leg has devolved to a useless lump of flesh, only used to aid in mating

stage 2

later with the warmer climate, the hyena was able to supersize. this is pretty much the apex of the hyena evolution. explanations on the image

stage 3

i take my inspiration from various evolution theory books and the show "future is wild". if you are an animal nerd, watch it

if you dont really like what i did because it doesnt follow the rules, better tell me now so i could start concepting for more of a pokemon approach
if not, i gotta do the colour illustration

 

[Dionesiist]

I'm jealous, what have you been watching in order to think of such useful[and plausible] evolutions, Pyramid?

 

[MasterStryke]

Evolution of Darknesssssss

newest WIP

 

[-Berz-]

Master, their heads are a bit small, but else looks great

 

[MasterStryke]

well that's their style and shows their epicness, know am sayin?

 

[Serbianbeast]

Great work Pyramidhe@d, I like your the most so far...

 

[UnholyDobry]

Here is my idea of evolution, a quick drawing, I will get 2nd pic done by the end of the next week i hope, now im just finishing up some details on first. Tell me what you think, oh and you can find first pic few posts back.

 

[Billy the Cat]

I don't know if I'm gonna work this one out further or use it for this contest P:

This contest needed something "cute" with all those worms, beetles, bugs so give bunny a hug, please.

Suggestions please! ;D

PS: Yes I know I kinda messed up perspective and it's just a WIP so I'd rather know what to fix now.

 

[Pyritie]

newest WIP

Two evolutions only pl0x

 

[Dionesiist]

[RED BARON]

Somehow it appears like it (the second one) have too many arms - and the is the feeling of disconnection with some of them. But I like the dragon appearance of it.

 

[Dionesiist]

Yeah, it's kind of odd, but it's the same number of limbs. The lower pair of wings becomes legs.

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Well I made this out of boredom but Im thinking about doing my submission like this (of course with better paper and crap since this was made with lined paper and tearing since I was too lazy to find scissors) since I know I can't outdraw the other submissions. Here I have oragamitized my creatures first stage (the pics are kinda big so Ill hide all the ones cept the first):

Show

Original Concept:

show

Just want to get some feedback on the idea, obviously this first pic is just a rough draft. I'd have to use at least colored paper to make it acceptable, this was more of draft to see how I should make it.

 

[Icoria]

rofl. Ya I probably can't outdraw them either, but they said its a "Concept" contest, not a "how well can you draw?" art contest.

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Well I get that, but I figure this is a bit more creative. Anyone can draw something, but can they make it 3d with the exact same materials? And like I said, this is a really early rough draft. Perhaps this could compliment my final idea instead of being it. If I work on it enough I could make it more of a 3d model. This one right now has pretty much absolutely no detail...........

 

[Spet]

-> -> ?

These are very nice sketches man ^_^ love the 2nd one

broken images

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

hmm, thats odd they worked a couple minutes ago.....


Wow, didn't work again. Heres the files in a thumbnail form. The one picture shows up right everytime so I'm not sure whats wrong

Well I took another swing at the idea of a model of it which can be seen in the second image. Once again a really early rough draft idea.

 

[Icoria]

Ok, I think I will draw 3 animals, then combine them and make a new animal, with 3 different evolutions.

First combination creature:

Trying to make a look alike:

My redraw of it:

Here it is

I made the background soft pink so you can see the lines better.

Ok its not as good as the others, but... wth right? Its just a concept of a dragon.

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

The pink's actually pretty blinding when partnered with the size of it. Maybe if you scaled down the image a little bit it would look better.

 

[Icoria]

Thats what I am planing to do with my next concept drawing combination creature: the wolf. I'm drawing it right now

That and now, another combination creature!

[WherewolfTherewolf]

The wolf picture is a bit small, this time could you scale it up? Find the median between your first drawing and the second.

 

[The World Is Flat]

All of theconcepts are wonderful looking forward to some interesting results...

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

With the limit to two additional stages I had to rethink my second concept:

(wow, my scanner really mangles my pics)

The beast thing does have a tail but you can't see it in this picture. Really I was imagining as the first concept grows, once it gets to a certain age the armor stuff or whatever that is attached to it begins to expand protecting the beast more but severely limiting its movement and hiding it's wings.

Crystal werewolf

Hey me first Wip is done bhut not so good as you guys hope you like it[

 

[MasterStryke]

trying to copy existing stuff is not allowed, is it?

 

[Jacky The turtle]

how do you mean ??

 

[Pyritie]

trying to copy existing stuff is not allowed, is it?

No

And I think that was directed at icoria

 

[Icoria]

how?
It's called practice. I am going to make a different thing and combine them all. Didn't you read?

 

[Tr!KzZ]

Hmm, well I think I'll give it a try

I never participated in any contest here, so this will be the first.
I'm not that good, I just like to paint sometimes..

so here's my first WIP of Evo1
(will redo it on PC, when I find my table)

It will be some kinda firemonsters..

 

[Icoria]

lol. Nice shading

 

[Just_Spectating]

rofl. Ya I probably can't outdraw them either, but they said its a "Concept" contest, not a "how well can you draw?" art contest.

however this may be true, people are going to vote for the best art :/

unless this isn't polled.

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Well 25% ( i think is what it said) is determined by poll, the rest by judges.

 

[Pyritie]

Well 25% ( i think is what it said) is determined by poll, the rest by judges.

yup.

 

[Just_Spectating]

which is a big advantage imo

so we better start drawing better than dio

EDIT:
Update:

 

[Tanasren]

Are we allowed to post more than one submission ?
Here is my magical point (he is a living being) :

 

[MasterStryke]

Here is my magical point (he is a living being) :

nope, only one entry per person



question: can i create 3 evolutions instead of 2?
i think it's ok

 

[Jacky The turtle]

[Palaslayer]

why dont you search for some reference picks?

 

[MasterStryke]

why dont you search for some reference picks?

indeed


dont ask how, ask google (or deviantart)

 

[Billy the Cat]

I tried looking up for tutorials on dA but couldn't find any on crystals

 

[MasterStryke]

[Nichita_00]

This is my idea; it's a wip, and I'm going to do something... bananish.

 

[Jacky The turtle]

[MasterStryke]

[Jacky The turtle]

how do you mean it ??

 

[MasterStryke]

full opacity and press hard if you have a tablet

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

question: can i create 3 evolutions instead of 2?
i think it's ok

We've already been through this argument and no, apparantly you can only create 2 evolutions (Pyritie said to think more of pokemon evolution then natural evolution)

 

[memzak]

You probably never heard of me before, but I possibly might enter...

As soon as I think of something, draw and scan it... I'll post it.

So how's that for a deal?
