Dominance War IV 2D Cakeypigdog 'Laststand'

[cakeypigdog]

initial composition ideas...

[cakeypigdog]

I am still undecided bewteen 2 seperate ideas for this. This set of thumbs are exploring the idea of a village girl who sacrifices herself to destroy a demon god.

[Alexson]

hey those thumbs are awesome mate. i like the bottom one in the first post, maybe a bigger shot of her leading an army with her on horseback would be sweet.

and I like nr. 4 from the left on the second post, but maybe with some more spikes or something on the armor so its not so round and smooth

[Ksan]

Your village girl thumbs are sweeeet. They all have a different feeling, but all have great potential. #3

[Snasitra]

besides the fantastic name, Cakeypigdog, I really love the thumbnails for the final illustration. Very cinematic and a lot of great potential. I'm looking forward to seeing this thread as it progresses. Good stuff.

[DreameR]

~ Choose number 4. Its the bestest

[Archangel]

I agree, #4...

[GJK]

I like parts of 3 and 4. The shoulders and chest of 3 are cool

[animsen]

my vote 3 one .....

[cakeypigdog]

Alexson Thanks very much. I like 4 too. I want the final illo to have an equestrian momument feel to it so she will most likely be riding something...

Ksan Cheers, glad you like them... i am trying to feel out how she should look... they are maybe all a bit too sci fi so far.

Snasitra Thanks very much for your kind words. Its a fine name indeed.

DreameR Archangel GJK animsen elements of 3 and 4 will be continued as i continue for sure.

Thank you all once again for taking the time to post and crit, there are so many entries this year!

here are another batch of quickies. I am liking the idea of her riding a lion called mallard...

[Cristian G]

Great sketches!4 from the left on the second post looks great.
Good luck!

[ilegacy]

i like the sketches alot go go go

[Davek]

A village girl who sacrifices herself to destroy a demon god- what a concept!
I bet Del Toro could make some mean movie out of that one line!
I pick #5 from your first sketch. Great start, Cakepigdog

[Cold]

First five girls, the third one tbh pwns! But since she is a girl, boys refuse to actually go for a fully covered one:P

[cakeypigdog]

Cristian G Thanks!
ilegacy Cheers
Davek Thanks very much, i think I am going to stick with the girl idea. I was toying with doing the great grandson of my 3d entry from last year but thought it would be a bit too samey.
Cold Yes the blend of cool shapes and design but still keeping her sexy is tricky. I will try and keep some ankle on show at least

Cheers for the feedback guys. I pulled up some ref and started refining her costume a bit. I want moebius meets africab tribesgirl... Next i will strat doung some more resolced design drawings of her. Also like the idea of a david and goliath style catapult.

[Cold]

do two then, like yin and yan.... one with those cool shapes and the other, well, more naked i guess.

[cakeypigdog]

cold Thats not a bad plan mate... Perhaps she could have armed warriors to guard her and remain pure herself. Only a pure spirit can destroy its demons and all that....

spent this lunch doing speedy head designs... nothing grabs me yet.

[Max Schulz]

looks very cool. like the lion idea and would really like to see more skin too

the hat ideas 1 and 2 are the best looking in my mind... but am not sure if you should go with one of this hats... would like to see more. something more special

[StudioReepa]

this is great! I love #4 of your initial thumbs!

[xdupox]

the slingshot was a great choice of weapon..
i also like the 1st one on your head shots, and the 4th on your initial thumbs.. i think it goes well together..
