CPU Concept AGAIN!

Very cool! Ok now you are putting me to shame with your amount of CPU concepts. Time to get the sketch-book out again today.

You should! I have been thinking a lot, but I can't really get past the whole city-scape concept thing. I want to do more character designs, but I keep throwing them away.
I personally want to re-vamp the character designs a bit. Maybe more sleek and "action" oriented.

Yes it's good to focus on some "flavor art" to get an idea of the world.
My only suggestions might be to use a few more shapes; make the buildings more of a mix of widths. I'd also suggest using a few more colors, no city is one color.

Speaking of "flavor art" that gives a real feel for the world. You might want to watch Ghost in the Shell (the movie) and Armitage the 3rd again. They had some wonderful city concepts, and beautiful art. I just showed Diane Ghost in the Shell for the first time last night.

I agree 100% on the characters. I have a feeling most of them will be a good deal different when I'm through with them.

I'll do that. Yeah, I was really trying to go for something and it just didn't work for me. I need a lot more practice at this kind of stuff.
Apple Seed 2 has some awesome concepts as well, you should watch that one (MUCH better than the first movie by a lot).

You are getting closer. In the final product we only need a few full spread landscapes to show where the story is taking place. Most of the novel will be focused on the characters.

Cool I think I have AppleSeed 2 in my Netflix queue. I still have to see the first one too. BTW Armitage Duel Matrix (2) sucks, it was boring with bad animation.
