Great work. I love the fairy girl and the monkey boy and the overall quality of the renders. Is there going to be a dragon of sorts? I think your modeling skills + style would make an awesome dragon.
blubernuget : Thank 
I’m sorry I can’t reveal the story of the game ;).
I can say that :
Some of the characters are “smaller” (the girl, the 2 new boys) than other (Rocheux (rocky), jai-yienth).
In this thread, the characters are for the game, so they a little SD (super deformed) for the game.
In the animation, perhap’s they will be bigger,if I have the time ;).
xibalba : heu, sorry I have don’t understand. BUt in the game, the characters are created from a “graphics chart”, I have made a lot of graphic research for them ;).
Turin Turambar : thank you, and sorry I can’t marry with you lol.
thanks
I have a lot of inspiration (dark crystal is one of them, probably one of the first ;)), but I tried to forget all that I like to create my own world.
In fact, the base of the game is a comics that I have created in 1994 (when I was very young :p) which named “the cycling of the cursed” or “the land of cycles” (in french : “le cycle des maudits / la terre des cycles” ).
Here is a page that I have drawn in 1994, (first case) and 2000 (cases 2 to 6) :
In the game, I have used : the plants, 4 characters for the race (Dron, Rocky, Nurten, Espheïn), some house.
The character in this page is the first version (1994) of the dron.
The new version (05-2008) is :
Page 2 - 1994 (case 1-2 ) and 2000 (case 3, 4 , 5, 6) :
Page 3 (1994) :
And some 2D research :
2000, 2001 :
Other research (2002-2003) :
Another project (ozee- 2003). There are some artworks in that project I have or will used for my Game Moonkiroe (characters, animals, house, plants…) :
For the others inspirations :
I like a lot of films : Dark Crystal (probably the first inspiration ;)), the “Neverend story”. I really like the fantasy (light fantasy, in general) and SF (star wars, stargate…)
Some of my favorite : pixar, dreamwork, bluesky, vanguard animation movie.
And some animation serie : cobra (an old anime), Jimmy Neutron, sponge bob :D.
Some game : goonzu, final fantasy, ragnarok.
Comics : some french comics : lanfeust de troy, Loisel, Moebius…
Manga : cobra, dragon ball.
I want to create a sort of big dragon in the futur ;).
Now, I 'm working on the race for the player. I have to create yet :
- 4 characters (boy) : sraalt, kteon (boy), ness (boy), Meït (?) (Gorhole) (boy)
- 8 girl : sraalt, rocky (girl), jai-yienth (girl), dron (girl), waerth (tolphe) (girl), Esphein (girl), Meït (?) (Gorhole) (girl), Nurten (girl)
After that I have to :
- animate the character (walk, fight, magic).
- animate the 40 animals/ennemis (walk-attack)
- create the map for the game (between 20 and 40 map at the begining)
- some new background (decor ?) : house, plants, grounds, objects
- create a lot of objects in the game (arm, equipment, cloths…)
So after all that work, I could create a Dragon :p.
blendman the work i have seen from you here on BA is some of the coolest art i’ve ever seen. Your drawing style is really attractive and your 3d style is just fantastic.
I would like to know if you maybe want to share maybe some tips or so how you learned
to draw so well, i would like to get into 2d a little too!
Please keep updating with new content, it is always a pure joy to see your new creations.
I just discovered this thread, and I’m wondering why I didn’t read it before!!
Holy crap your an amazing artist, CG and traditional. Good job.
I would love to rig anything you have - this stuff is truly amazing.
Hahaa, that’s fine I’m a little depressed back then and when I found this thread I just exploded I guess. I’m not so good with English anyway since it’s not my native language. I’m an English - Indonesian translator though so I joined many forum just to make my English not rusty. About what I said:
- Minnimoys: A race in “Arthur and the Minnimoys” movie. Check http://www.arthuretlesminimoys.com/ if you wish to know more. I think the design style looks a bit like yours.
- About the PDF, image strips, etc.: I really hoped that you’ll make a tutorial of how you make one of these characters or even better, how you make the game itself. Hopefully, I can see it in the next issue of Blender Art Magazine. I know it’s a big request and it can slow down the progress of your game so I won’t insist you on doing this.
- About that character I imagined, I think it’s like a humanoid version of a skunk (like Pepe Le Pew) but replace the fur with skin, keep the motive (the white stripes), and use porcupine for the hair. Make it look evil but cute and voila! I can’t remember as clearly as back then but I think I describe it right.
By the way, since it’s a high-poly model for a game, are you using Blender Game Engine for this project?
Thank you for your comments
Thank you :).
If you want to see some Videos (2D drawing) you can see here : http://www.youtube.com/user/moonkiroe). I draw since I was 4 years old and I have never stop to draw, except when I use blender ;).
Thanks ;).
The game is now developped in C++, and it 's a 3D isometric (with a 2D engine, not 3D), It’s not the BGE.
So some new work :
Hope you like
Yes I do!! how do you make those great looking bump maps??
For the last head ? It’s just a texture drawn by hand
Its been a while isnce Ive checkeds here, but the quality of the work has only increased. I absolutely love your 2d vehicle concepts, and teh new models all look wonderful.
Wow…superb…great…I’ve no comment to give… cause all your worked amaze me!!
Thank you very much for your comments 
I have made some shapes keys to try the faciale animation (there are a lot of imperfection, because it’s just a test, but it’s funny to make ;-)):
Your modeling and designs are brilliant!!!
I have no words , just RESPECT 
You shouldn’t focus only on game. With this models you can make cartoon, comic book, illustrations for children’s notebooks, find a deal with manufacturers of all sort of items for children (illustrations and package design)… You have made amazing job, and try to earn as much as you can from it…
Colors are wonderful… I’m courious - what is yours education and profession? :eyebrowlift2:
absolutely mindblowing…amzing stuff, beautiful, the only thing that I dont like that much is the big man - he’s a bit tooooooooo BIG! but other than that excelet! keep it up!
Hi
Some new works :
14-06-2008 :
08-2008 : The kteonium - it’s the city of the kteons
This scene is not finished, because, I have forget the kteons in the picture :). And I have too much “specular” reflect on the metal, and the robots are not in the city.
Thanks.
In fact, I hope to create a game, and a series of animation (cartoon for TV) with blender.
I have made the scenario for a comics, at the begining, and I would like to create a comic book with this univers too.
But it’s not to earn as much as I can, it’s because I’m a “passionate” guy with thoses thing (animation, comics, game) ;).
Colors are wonderful… I’m courious - what is yours education and profession? :eyebrowlift2:
I did my studies in a “comics school”, in France. After obtaining the diploma, I worked in a video game society (for 4 years, I have worked in 2 games (Obscure 1 & 2)), makes comics and 3D (for 3-4 years), and since 2006, I work on Moonkiroe.
Truly stunning, 5 stars without question.
Only critizism i can come up with is that the “bigger ends” of the first girl’s hair are too symmetric. Oh, and the “enemies” seem too happy and peace-loving to pose any real threat :rolleyes:
waaa, it’s sooooo coool, can’t say anything, just brilliant, nice texturing, modelling, everything is veryyyyyy nice…
can’t wait to see the trailer. good job.
blendman, you should change your name into MASTER BLENDERMAN. suits your talent. hands down (feet up) harhar
How on earth did I miss this thread… This is stunning piece of work you’ve been doing here.
With the new GE features you can do all of that realtime now =)
BTW there are a lot of cool games made in France!
France represent!
Maybe you should put this in the WIP game forum!
