Concept Art Contest #6 - Tribal Princess

[diosilva16]

generic tribal female warrior

fallout world, somewhere in the former amazonian forest:
an amerindian chick in a scavenged power armor (efucking junkyard mecha decorated with bone figurines and tribal designs leads her fathers tribe in an incursion to the domain of the chupa-cabra, seeking trophies and glory

 

[InfernalTater]

Precisely. A theme which would more 'not than often' describe a tribal princess would be less...generic.

Precisely. Your issue is with the theme, not the concept which was drawn. We settled a long time ago to agree that the theme sucked ass, but it's not going to change, so people's entries being too generic is not their fault, and we'll have to deal with that.

As for the concept, it represents the theme pretty well, not much I can say bad about it.

 

[GhostThruster]

You don't seem to understand :/ I'm not judging the concept, nor the class (ie. I'm not talking about the tribal princess), I'm stating that the Amazon theme is not really creative, regardless of how fitting it is to the contest theme.

I'm not talking about concept, design, ANY of that shit (and you seem to think I am addressing 67chrome's WIP specifically). All I wanted to say was the Amazon theme was generic.

EDIT:
@TLI-Inferno: No. Let me clarrify; contest theme = tribal princess. 67chrome's suggested theme = Amazon. I was talking about the latter. Again, I am simply stating the Amazon theme is not very creative in this contest.

It damn well is their fault if their designs are generic. However, it is expected that their concepts are generic enough. The latter applies to all contests regardless of how specific the theme is.

 

[InfernalTater]

If you give people a generic theme which doesn't leave much room for deviation, you can hardly blame them for their art being similar to an already existing concept. Especially when your entire theme is an already existing and well-defined concept. It would be pretty odd to have a tribal princess contest without a single amazon, which represents the theme pretty well.

 

[Verhalthur]

Well, here is what I have so far. Searching around Google for inspiration has led me to believe that Amazons fit the bill for tribal princess relatively well, so that at least solves her general shape. Still not sure if I want to make her some obscure race because the rules allow it.

The only thing I see odd about the Amazon idea is that Amazon women look much less like this:

This

And much more like this:

This

So far, that Amazon concept has muscles that don't look entirely warrior-like, but I suppose that could be a style decision.

This theme leaves a VAST span of variation, just because it doesn't allow you to paint a cup or a horse or a human or a planet or a car, all at the same time, does not mean you have no room to be creative. It is a well-defined concept because otherwise no one would have any fucking clue what to actually do. Yes, it would be odd if there were no princesses too. Still doesn't mean the design has to be generic. Look, you don't understand what this is all about at all, so just go away. Constantly trying to give people the impression all tribal princesses are exactly the same will not change anything here. Either participate, or go somewhere else.

 

[Stanakin]

All the the concept art needs, according to the theme, is:
- A female person (of any race, species, form, shape or weight).
- Something (anything) to show her position of power.
- Something (anything) to show she is part of a tribe (of any kind).
How does that in any way stop you from being creative? If entries aren't creative, it's the contestants who are to blame, not the theme.

Noticing that all others are awesome and I just can't draw women's faces I won't enter

So make a princess in a burqa, problem solved.

two more quick sketches:

 

[ike_ike]

because shiik is very turned on by thumbnails here you go kiddies

fancy hats because doing hair is very tedious and unfun.

also i am totally doing the bird

 

[Skycraft]

whenever i look at ike's masterpieces i can't tell what it is
i just know it's beautiful

and stanakin that looks bizarre

 

[Deleted member 157129]

Looking fancy, Stanakin. And those are some delicious thumbnails, ike. Me gusta. Wimbo, it's not like participating and not winning is going to kill you, why don't you give it a try? If only just for the feedback and practise.

Exactly!

 

[ike_ike]

[Skycraft]

[enjoy]

I'm in.

 

[stefanstan95]

Count me in. This should be interesting.

 

[dead-man-walking]

asdfghjklfuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
<---can't draw girls

Gonna try and see if I can try... or not. Buuuut since Stanakin spilled out the idea of the princess using burqa...

 

[InfinateAnswers]

Alright well i drew a rough sketch so i could get a general pose i wanted, its not very proportional, i just wanted to see what it would look like if it was good.

Well first WiP

Bleh stupid image shack, ill just upload it.

 

[Kazzo]

Awesome idea

 

[Skycraft]

Kazzo that looks marvelous.

 

[ike_ike]

at this point i am contemplating leaving her topless because boobs are cool

but why bother when kazzo has already won the contest. the real fight is for second place.

also i would like to take this moment to point out that jeremy renner is bizarrely attractive. thank you.

 

[Skycraft]

that actually looks pretty cool ike
but she needs a tail and wings to become a real banana

 

[InfinateAnswers]

Okay second WiP, im going with the full dress instead of a 2 peice. And i have neck jewelry in this one. No hair or facial features yet because i havnt decided what hair i want and this is still too small to have reason to draw a face

 

[The World Is Flat]

Trace a model, (one of those petite lip-biting ones) show some cleavage, giver her rapeface, spread the legs a little, be a famous user, and that is the secret to winning this. All you need to know. Oh, and skinny. Show bare midriff. And bikinis.

Pencil art ftw.

Why trace?

 

[enjoy]

I thought I'd show my wip. Yes, it is grey so far.

[InfinateAnswers]

I dont have the program or the hardware to do it on the computer. And i feel more in control when i use my pencil and paper

For some reason... I am 100% incompetent when it comes to computer art... But I'm extremely good with a pencil lol.
On an on-topic note, the posturing of yours looks a little strange because of her arms, they appear to be stretched at the shoulder a bit too much, an unnatural arc if you follow me.

 

[InfinateAnswers]

I need to be able to see the picture come to form under my graphite. I like to be able to grab a higher grade pencil to sketch it out, then use the lower ones to make the form, then back to higher to shade good. I even use those stensils to help shade, and i have those awesome erasers you can pull apart to clean.

Is that... a Draenei?

 

[Arowanna]

I'd guess it's a faun
Keep us updated, folks! I will try to get an update up soon, but hell... It's that week of the year again.

Charcoal is also a nice option...

Is that... a Draenei?

Looks like a creature of Lizard/Fish descent to me. The feet are not Draenei, at least I don't think they are...

 

[InfinateAnswers]

its soraka duh. I know that unicorn female thing anywhere!

And i dont use charcoal for non-school projects

 

[Deolrin]

Soraka is, essentially, a Draenei. :B

 

[enjoy]

Lol xriotx, the feet are not drawn yet, like the hands are not drawn yet.

I can tell you guys tough, it's not a draenei

 

[GhostThruster]

Is it a female sangheili?

 

[Deleted member 157129]

Does it have to be anything you guys are guessing or potentially could guess? No. It doesn't have to be any particular race or species at all. So let's not make a guessing competition out of this.

 

[RiotZ]

Yes... But the basic anatomy gives me an idea of what it could be... The arch at the ankles for example. Looks very much like a female minotaur lol.

WIP

This is my first wip of my unproportional princess, as you can see its on paper but I plan on reworking it on my pc.

 

[enjoy]

I am changing the pose of my concept. However, the anatomy of her body will be the same, and her species will be the same. <:

 

[GhostThruster]

Is it a protoss?

 

[RiotZ]

Is it a protoss?

Legs are too long, and skinny.

Shiik is going to go medieval on our asses soon enough. :x

 

[Dionesiist]

Is it a protoss?

It must be your mother, clearly.

 

[GhostThruster]

Nonsense, my mother was a sangheili. I get my Protoss blood from my dad's side.

 

[Xatoga]

I might enter this. Just started sketching this out, new to tablet drawing so this should be a good way to improve those skills. Gonna go for a primal-ish elf ranger princess. Not sure on the pose yet, but for the concept part thats not really important yet.

EDIT: Another sketch for coming up with the armor and such.

 

[eubz]

Don't know if you'll like this princess of mine.
