Sylar

[Christopher]

Here are 5 concepts for the Sylar. I hope you like them and that there is something usable among the 5. If needed, I can proved larger versions of any of the images.













At this point I need to address several other project, but once I am done with those I will be able to return and complete my Blith concepts.

I like head 5, body 3, and arms and hands 1

[Adamespino]

God, these are amazing.

Christ can you teach me some of your routines? I'm confident i have potential and i am a easy fast learner/listener. i've been trying to paint like this for a while now i just don't know where to start.

These are quite incredible Chris, thank you . I like the claws from A, the most; the claws seem most usable with delicate functions, like holding things. The body of C is my most favorite of the choices . There's also a chance we could use multiple choices that spawn randomly when a unit is created. So in that sense, my favorites are [in order] C, D, and A. The claws from B look the most devastating and so I'm thinking of them being applied randomly as if some Sylars are born with the fighting 'advantage' of stronger or more-nasty claws.

Amazing!

I like the head of D the best, followed closely by C. Agreed on the body of C.

Giggle has the final say, though, of course

Good luck on your other projects

Sorry for not responding to this earlier... my work loads ebbs and flows and right now I am rather swamped.

I will try to answer your questions and explain my process in full when I have the time. I will most likely write up something for my blog (so I can post plenty of images and such) and post a link here ... and hopefully it will be helpful.

Thank you very much Christopher

umm.. why is this under "3d unit art"? i see no 3d

[Giggleanthropisticon]

Well, is this 3D?

[Nightshde]

its a drawing so technically its only 2D though it does look realistic enough I can see how you were confused.

[Giggleanthropisticon]

Ok, it just has as much '3D-illusion' to me, as a motionless 2D can have. I'll move it to the 2D section .

Hello all,

I promised awhile back that I would do a write up on how I created my Sylar designs... well, better late then never! Here is a link to my blog where I posted a write up with images: http://christopherburdett.blogspot.com/2009/03/creature-concepts-greyscale-photodhop.html

Feel free to follow up with any questions, I will try to address them in a timely manor.

I hopefully we be back here soon with more concepts. Work has had me slammed.

[wyrmmage]

Very cool. Thanks for writing this up As a non-artist, I have to say, this helps me understand the design process a lot more....I had no idea so much of this kind of work is done in photoshop!

I love the new stuff you've posted on your website as well, especially "Arise"

[Giggleanthropisticon]

From my previous statement: the final concept for this includes the body of C and the hands of A.
