Hi all,

First time challenge entry, going to do a cheesy evil spirit in samurai armor, just did some basic speedpaints last night, so ill probably clean it up and do a few more angles and closeups in the comming days.

nice one, I was thinking of doing a samurai but i thought someone else will do it, and i'm glad i didn't because i don't think i could do anything to match this

Bloody nice concept. Big fan of your style. Kinda reminds me a bit of Bishamon from Darkstalkers with the colour scheme and blue spirit, but without the face built into the chest armour.

Can't wait to see this model.

Cheers guys,

I got nothing on some of the work up by other people :) Still learning to concept you see, done a heap more sketches, hopefully i can add some more up soon for you guys to look at by next week :>.

Id like to do the whole vega thing with the mask as a detachable item that can be smashed off his face, cus modeling/texturing faces is the best part :>

Oooh, sexay. I'd love to see a massive nasty grimace on the mask, with a big fat handlebar moustache. That would make for some awesome normal mapping. The lighting on the mask from the glowing eyes looks like it should be fun.

WOW! I really love the style of your concept! Solid start.
Just a quick question? Is he going to be Japanese? cause he kinda looks like an angry old magician - Rasputin-ish.
Awesome work. Cant wait to see more!

I think that looks great, when i first saw it, i thought awsome, a massive walking oriental temple! that would be freaking cool as!

another update up top, started to just add some basic details n stuff, flesh out bits of his armor etc. Its still fairly messy, ill be cleaning it up at a later stage as it looks like some nasty shit atm, but for now its back onto the face to try n get a face that fits a bit better.

yeeahhhh, that's nice and moody. Very sexy. Only thing I'd suggest on the design side is to give him a bit of character and sense of belonging by giving his armour something. An insignia or clan emblem, maybe a mark of his condition (why his eyes are glowy/smokey). Other than that I'd say he's quite rich in character, very cool [:)]

Ha yea, i was thinking about a symbol or a unique armor piece, still pondering several options i guess. I wanted him to fit the image of a dishonoured samurai, instead of ending it himself after the events that shamed him, he seeks redemption through a supernatural path, demonic possession, watever, something cool [:)] , anyway things go bad as they generally do, and in no time hes some random evil demons ass-puppet, charging around the earth kicking ass and making babies cry [:D] .

Ha, ok, anyway, visually it should translate that I guess i pictured him as some average soilder, nothing special armor wise, so ill think outside of that, his unique features should be related to the whole possession thing... gah my brain
