Hey everyone,
I’m scared silly myself to just attempt to enter this contest, seeing as I am a Z-noob, but I figure this will motivate me to play around more with the software. Plus, I have been drooling over the Cintiq for a looooong time, and a chance to win a free one is too much to pass up.
I have two concepts, and since people are coming up with such great ideas, I figured I would post before someone posted my idea first.
Concept 1: I’m still not sure about this once since it seems like an old joke. It would be Dr. Frankenstein and Igor at the side of the road. The car has broken down, so they have the creature hooked up to jumper cables. Adam (the monster) has a look of concentration on his face, Igor is looking over the hood toward Dr. F, and Frankenstein is sitting behind the driver’s seat looking frustrated as he tries to get the engine to start. I’m worried about sculpting the car, but otherwise it is a simple composition.
Concept 2: I got this idea after looking at the latest batch of costumes on Amazon.com. I pictured a boardroom full of classic movie monsters (Dracula, Wolfman, Frankenstein’s monster, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Mummy, Bride of Frank, etc.) all wearing business suits. Drac has a pointer and is waving it frantically at a presentation which is basically a broken-line graph that looks like Black Monday. The graph is titled “Monster Mask Sales” and is showing the decline in scary costumes. All the monsters are reacting appropriately. (I imagine Wolfman howling and crying, CFTBL putting some Alka Seltzer in a glass, etc.) Outside the window, you can see kids dressed as ballerinas, Harry Potter, or various super heroes. These would have to be very generic so as not to infringe on copyrighted characters, plus this scene would have a TON of characters and I don’t know if I could pull it off in time.
Concept sketches to follow soon!
Anyway, I’d appreciate some pros/cons from people regarding these ideas. I would use ZBrush for everything, although I do have a registered copy of Maya if I needed it to create a base mesh or something.
Everyone else has some awesome ideas. I look forward to seeing everyone’s work!
