Concept Art Contest #5 - Mythology

[M0rbid]

@M0rbid:
Is that... some egypt god?

Yes, it's Set

[Jaret]

In Greek mythology, Atlas (English pronunciation: /ˈætləs/, Greek. Ἄτλας) was the primordial Titan who supported the heavens.
And:
In Greek mythology, Atlas (English pronunciation: /ˈætləs/, Greek. Ἄτλας) is holding the "weight of the world" on his shoulders, which is many times shown on famous sculptures, the most famous being the Lee Lawrie's colossal bronze Atlas, Rockefeller Center, New York.
So now, I got no idea what he did. Maybe he supported both?

Hmm I googled "Lee Lawrie" and there are clearly zodiac signs on the rings. Often people confuse it for the earth, because the heavens are depicted as a globe.

Anyway, WIP

 

[enjoy]

Anyway, WIP

Very nice looking! Looking forward to see the finished result!

 

[Hemske]

Looks really nice there Viiva

I got the feeling that my art skills aren't near most of you other guys, but what the hell. It is fun to create art and be in the contest anyways.

Anyways, WIP number two from me. Thinking about adding graves and more skulls/skeletons, this isn't really what the concept should be when it is done yet.

 

[Billy the Cat]

WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to open

Agreed

Structures are fine.

Where does it say that in the rules? These were edited from the last concept art contest (which only allowed creatures) so I might've missed something.

[*]At least 75% of the creature(s) must be shown, this is a concept

 

[The World Is Flat]

In greek mythology, heavan is ON earth so...

But yea, hos common depiction is him holding up earth, wheras in true mythology he stands on earth and holds up the sky. (olympus)

Probably NOT going to enter now.

Actually in Greek mythology heaven is under earth. The Elysian Fields and all... it is actually interesting how the underworld is for both, good and bad people, just different zones given to each kind.

 

[warhog]

lookin good viiva, really good

oh and btw is it allowed to draw a nipple? and ofc not the manly kind

 

[M0rbid]

Well it would be pretty odd if not. Mythology did not stop from being a bit p0rn in its look in art in the whole history.

 

[Jaret]

Greek mythology is all about naked women and naked dudes.

 

[warhog]

did a new sketch turned out much better this time i think and now you can behold tha boob

 

[M0rbid]

anatomacially not totally correct
The human skelet has a few costals that are not linked to the sternum

 

[Jaret]

Well, if you ask me about anatomy (M0rbid gave the idea ^^ for asking), the ribs would never keep attackers from reaching the heart, because there's only 5 ribs on each side, which should be 12 on each side... Why do you draw the skeleton anyway? :/

 

[warhog]

thanks for helping man i've never been good at the human body...
but I found my old and dusty anatomy book now (600 pages of complete hell :S)

Postjump-EDIT: I'm drawing Hel from the nordic mythology.
she's the ruler of teh "underworld" and the reason she is part skeleton is because she got thrown down there and since then is
half human half devestated.

remember the pic is just MY view on this description

 

[AIagremm]

Warhog, have you based yours on this piece of art?

Hel

 

[warhog]

no actually no, but dammit they are exactly the same
why is everything always done??!
oh well i'll try find something else then -.-

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Freudian slip I guess

 

[M0rbid]

Btw: Old idea on Hel by me

[AIagremm]

Sorry for bursting your bubble warhog D:

 

[warhog]

haha no worries but thx for showing me before i did the whole piece xD, I think i might give Thor a try instead ^^
and ofc i will finish Hel, but wont use it in the contest, cause it feels like a ripp-off now :S

 

[Jaret]

OH F***! Forgot about f***ing Thor! F***ing brainfall...
Whatever, I'll drop my old drawing, that Hairy-bone guy, and starting on my Zeus ^^.
first Pyritie Wip time!

Pyritie

 

[Mr.Goblin]

Don't ask me too much, this is just a freaking sketch.. will send a more polish line art later.

so yup..

LEVIATHAN! tumtum..tum....

took me a fuckload of time to come up with the general look, and I'm not even sure I like this one so far D:, but what ever.

 

[Jaret]

It doesn't look like a leviathan, it looks much better than a leviathan. GJ. The key to draw good is just to find something really complicated and, well... draw it ^^
Ok, Wip time. Defined the muscles a lil bit more, added the Zeus head and... some weird spears on the back. I luv it ^^:

Zeus

Here is my entry.

 

[Pyritie]

 

[Jaret]

@kola: Is that your final entry or...? I really like the hammer now. But the weird un-human muscles bother me. Well, it's your drawing...

@Pyritie:

Ok, seriously, let's stop spamming.

 

[Hiruty]

i knew this would be a succesful comp i just needed to wait

 

[Dentothor]

Ill do a concept for shits and giggles. Unless pyritie allows me to actually enter.

 

[Midnighters]

Here is my first WiP, we will see how far I go.




My second WiP

 

[Just_Spectating]

couldn't almost anything imaginative be considered mythological?

 

[Mr.Goblin]

Already have been said

WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to open

seriously, concept art competition? that's how I see it.

Hiveworkshop Concept art competition #7 = The subject: hey draw anything you want just for fun... I mean, something original cause anyway you can draw everything you want, as long as its from after 1000 B.C and before 200... but it has to be original, but! it can be anything! ))))))))))

sounds like fun!?! dude, this is no concept art competition, it's just = show us your skills in drawing and fuck the concept, who cares about them anyway?

do something more precises, like

''If a god from Parthenon would create a new creature, what would it be?'' (and we can base ourself from 1 of the X brothers and sisters from the mythology and based a concept on ''what each represents'')

or like

''Draw us a titan, how you picture them in the greek mythology, before the gods were born''

or like

''Draw us a freaking mytology creature from any kind of mythology (Celtic/greek/indian/Inuit) but! it has to be a creature that represents fear! (or something else like, it has to be a underwater creature, or it as to be a creature that can fly).

yeah well.. live with it, cause it's the only thing we can do about it :\
beside, let's take this competition as a ''easy to come up with a concept'' we have more time to invest into the drawing than.

 

[darkdeathknight]

Well it looks like everyone made a humanoid of some kind, so the only thing needed to edit is all "mythology" words to "humanoid".

 

[Mr.Goblin]

wrong.. I'm making the leviathan..

beside, we are just at the beginning, and trust me, there's a fuck-load of creature you can make.

From Dryad to Leprechaun to sphinx to dragon to ghost to hydra to gryphon to deamon to spirits to fairy to Pegas to.. blbablalblablalba..

 

[Hemske]

@kola: But the weird un-human muscles bother me.

I got a feeling that a cyclop isn't human.

"Release the Kraken!" ?

that gives me some ideas

 

[Jaret]

I got a feeling that a cyclop isn't human.

And I've got a feeling that the structure of a cyclop is based on the human anatomy.

 

[Hemske]

Says who?Poseidon?

On a serious note; I get your point but there isn't someone who have seen a cyclop, so who can decide what its anatomy looks like?

 

[M0rbid]

Mr. Gobiln. Your WiP is damn promising, keep it up!

 

[-Berz-]

Great! I'll join. I'm not sure what my creature will be :/

 

[Arisato]

i want to join in, can i? i will draw somethign from a paper cna i?

 

[-Berz-]

I'm not making anything uberbbqwtfawesome big but I'll go with this two raven called Hugin and Munin. I decided for this because a lot of you went for Norse mythology creatures and these ravens are from it too :b

*Edit:

I'm having this awesome idea for the background, but there is no way I could make it happen :/

Trees, more like branches, nicely layered and all consumed by a nice light blue/green fog and with the moon in the distance behind the mountains :|

 

[kola]

You cannot make any creature that you imaginated... You need to draw a creature/object/whatever it is that is from a mythology. At first it was supposed to be only greek mythology but now its way to open like mr.goblin said.

 

[Jaret]

He can draw whatever the f*** he wants. He just has to come up with it, but it is true, Crows are not mythology creatures, because they exist now, so...

 

[Hemske]

Quite the mythology

 

[PROXY]

Well, that weird unvulnearable lion or what it was also "exists" now too. anyway...
