Dominance War V - 2D - g8crasher - God of the Oceans

[g8crasherboy]

Thanks very much all - heres the next iteration:

[g8crasherboy]

Messing around with a few ideas - need to tone back the ga logo - also looking to add some more sea wildlife, coral, jellyfish with obligatory bioluminescence and detail out a shipwreck. Oh and also maybe one of those mini subs. As well as sorting it's legs out....

[g8crasherboy]

Backlight or not to backlight? I can't help thinking I am losing something as I render this out:
What do you guys think?

[g8crasherboy]

I do intend to change the left arm as it looks a bit spammy - wasn't feeling it witht he one before

[Tommy Scott]

The color and feel of being underwater is perfect! Pull out even more highlights for sure, as underwater can have that effect due to surface lighting on the ocean top being reflected into the ocean. Keep the back light so we can get a clear read of your god at all times.

I like the perspective on this great underwater feel subtle school of fish and coral nice work. I would like to see the claw on the right open in attack ready to chomp down mode or chomping down on a god, and other claw (the one in the shadowy depth) to be closed so switch them around show what you god is capable of great work though

[g8crasherboy]

Cheesy lava or no cheesy lava - that is the question?

[levART]

wow, im amazed. lets hope it doesnt come to surface :P

i think the cheesy lava looks good. it adds more design elements to it.

very nice rendering, good job, I think the only underwater god I have seen, quite original.

[g8crasherboy]

Thanks for the comments levArt, I think I agree on the lava - makes it a bit more interesting - although I suppose the water around it would be boiling so may have to use artistic licence with it...

[Filip Burburan]

hi looking great but i must say that i like your post no 4 even more in fact i just love that post, so powerful.

[g8crasherboy]

yeah - I may revisit that guy after the war - I wanted to get away from humanoid as I though a lot of people would go down that route. Not sure if it will be a good decision or not

[elartwyne17]

obra perfecto

[beelow]

I would love to know how huge he in relation to human. I have somewhat an idea, maybe indicate that a bit more. Really nice underwater effect though.

[g8crasherboy]

I am probably done now.... Thanks for the comments and crits guys.

[g8crasherboy]

My attempt to add some colour variation failed me - the lava thing just didnt cut it

[g8crasherboy]

So i tried again...

[Tommy Scott]

Man, those claws are working so well, I love them!!! And your entry overall is one of my favorites and I would LOVE to see a 3D model of this guy!!

[Amethyst]

:think: Hmm, the greenish water might work better with the glowing claws.... Cool creature and I adore the claws.... Go go go!:thumb: :thumb:

[g8crasherboy]

Hey Thanks Tommy, Amethyst - finishing model sheet and workflow - all a bit frantic :S

[g8crasherboy]

Voting done - really awe inspiring stuff in there - good luck to all!
