[Open Req]Goblin Concepts

[kollos]

needed: front and side view ortographic (example)
you can also add some details and eyecandy to the sketch of course, thats always welcome, but not a must.
perspective view, showing a pose/action/mood etc would be nice to have as well, but also not a must.

[dubb01]

is there any other direction other than goblin? a certain direction you'd like it pointed towards? or certain things it may need?
Clothes? or more geared towards an anatomical ortho?

i think anatomy and scale from orthographic views is what kollos is looking for at the moment, so that he can do the base character

I'm going to be pretty busy this weekend so doubt I'll be able to get to it. If Dubb (or anyone else) doesn't get to it I'll try to get something up early next week.

[Laladilya]

Ok I lied. Did one based out of that painting I put in the other thread, Its kinda rough though. Might be too buff and something looks off on the side-view but I'm not seeing what it would be. Anyhow if it doesn't work I'll try another when I figured I'd be doing this one. Or use this and modify it to however you want. ^_^

Was playing around with it myself, but Laladilya beat me to the punch! Was going for more of an "exaggerated" look, I guess you could call it.

[kollos]

i think like the exaggerated look more, the first one was maybe too humanlike.

[Laerazi]

K, I think I'll clean it up and make a profile view so it's at least a usable option.

[Vatoreus]

I don't know, something that might be cool is if we deviate away from traditional looks for the races? Maybe make goblins more intelligent than they usually are and maybe more dominant in a scale such as humans are? Things like these make worlds cool.

and I can't wait til I get my fucking intuo...

[Laerazi]

I don't completely disagree, but if you're going to make something deviate so much from the norm, why call it a goblin? You'd be better off just making an entirely new race with a new name that doesn't have pre-existing connotations to goblins. Although, it does somewhat make a statement to say "This is a goblin in our world, it's completely different". Just thinking out loud. ~ (also, just from what I've seen, Project 1 has not been about making a revolutionary world; as it has the standard undead/orcs/goblins/vampires/generic_medieval_town/etc.). Not a bad thing, just going with the theme.

I would like to see the next big project be much more creative and "out there". IE, not high fantasy, not copied from other IPs.

[Laladilya]

Looks good ^_^

I agree that mine is too human like, which is probably the issue I was having with it and couldn't figure out what it was.

I like your goblin a lot, however it is infact "too buff." Goblins are usually very scrawnly and little...the one you have shown might be good for a boss type goblin maybe, but not a normal one.

Anyway the one pictured below yours actually looks like a troll in Everquest 2, lol.

Those goblins are in shape, let me tell you.
