Default CFC: ***Special Round*** ReDesign #01

Welcome back! Now things get serious....but also a lot of fun too.

This week the challenge is going to be a little different. This time, we're going to do a redesign. Since the last CharacterFORGE was pretty science fiction, this round will offer up some swords & sorcery--with a little twist of course.

This might be asking a lot in terms of creative brain juice, but if you're up for it....









I want to see a dark ages take on....

any character from the Mega Man universe.

= ?

weird, huh?

You can do any character (Dr. Light, Roll, Robot Masters, Protoman, Wily, Rush, etc.), so long as they look like they live in a land with dragons, and wizards, and dwarves, and the like. So... as far as arm cannons go, you might have to get creative. Maybe the mega-buster is a mighty bastard sword or an axe forged in dragonfire or something like that--totally up to you. I'm going to leave a bit of breathing room for this one and see what everyone comes up with. The deadline for this will be a bit shorter, but depending on the response and number of people interested, I may extend the deadline by half a week. Environments for this one will also not be required, this way you'll be able to focus more time on the character.



RULES AND GUIDELINES:

Layout/Size: Keep all submissions to 1000-1200 pixels in height or width. It's okay if its slightly larger or smaller than that, just don't go too crazy.

Submissions: Post Final Images in Finals Thread (To be posted later.)

-**EDIT--Multiple entries OK.

-Minimum 3/4 of character must be visible.

-Any medium is acceptable except photography.

-No sketches for finals, must show finished work.

-Follow the character description to the best of your ability.

-Focus on your illustration. Pay attention to anatomy, shape, form, and lighting. USE REFERENCE. Don't fret if answers don't always come too quickly. Remember, critical thinking is key to great character design.


SO AS OF RIGHT NOW, THE DEADLINE IS:::

NEW DEADLINE: MONDAY, AUGUST 9th 1 PM (pacific standard time) in the AFTERNOON WHILE THE SUN IS IN THE SKY



Ready...Set...BEGIN!!

                Default Yes!


                Excellent start!!! I really like that you've included a picture of the original character for reference. Don't worry too much about the rendering at first, it's reeeeeally time consuming and frustrating to redo if you need to change things later. Lock down the design and shapes within the silhouette first to free up some hours later on. You will be mighty grateful!

                To everyone else: C'mon!!! Letsee some sketches!

                    If anyone needs any reference material for the Mega Man universe, I came across this a while back:
