svenskmand {l Wrote}:Skorpio {l Wrote}:And you kind of contradict yourself. First you wanted some golden army like characters, which are clearly mechanical, and now you want metal golems that are only a pile of metal parts. I get the impression that you don't really know what you want.
I consider the golden army characters to fit my description above. And they are actually not really that mechanical (if that is intentionally by the filmakers or just because your are not supposed to think that much about their workings I do not know). But an example is in the scenes where they are taken apart by Hellboy, then they reassemble themself again, where each limb simply flys close to the largest parts of the body and reattaches themself. If you look at them in the movie their metal parst also only really acts as limbs, and does not really work in physical/mechanical way like gears normally do. The description I made above should support my idea of the golden army characters, if you think it does not then where do you see contradictions? Then I will try and clear them up.
Skorpio {l Wrote}:For me a golem is something raw, chaotic and unshaped, as you said a pile of metal, whereas the golden army "creatures" are well designed mechanical units. By the way I haven't seen the movie, wasn't thrilled about the first one.
Oh, and here's a good, short drawing tutorial: http://foxi-5.deviantart.com/art/Simple ... t-87741977
charlie {l Wrote}:As mentioned before Skorpio (not sure if you're reading the non-negative responses) this might look a lot less steam punk and a lot more magic-like if you use glow effects a lot more liberally i.e. on joints, around the chest and neck areas etc. Make the metal look like a container for an other-worldly power, and the 'robot' look will be emphatically replaced by the kind of look that svenskmand is after.
Danimal {l Wrote}:I really think the egg thing is overkill, its going to make all the constructs looks alike, and the making of the concepts a hell.
Skorpio {l Wrote}:That looks already pretty good, especially the arms. Of course it needs to be refined. Does it attack like a mantis? I also think the constructs should have runes and ornaments on some parts.
svenskmand {l Wrote}:I like the blades , nice idea. But where is the head? Also maybe the legs are a bit too large? But overall it is looking more and more in the right style. I do not think we are there yet but we are getting closer
