whoever did that song, ask your money back. not that its badly done, its, from a tchnical point of view, pretty well done, but neither does it fit the mood nor the voerall atmosphere of this type of game.
maybe, just MAYBE, as boss battle...

So i hear the song, but i say the same as MK1, orchestral music is for this kind of games mutch better.

Whatever you do STICK WITH THE MUSIC, it really rocks!

Cheers

Hi sebcrea,

I don't doubt your skill... your work is great! But don't you think copying is a bit off?
I mean your project is heavily influenced by FarCry and Crysis, obviously. You mentioned that already, I know.
But all I see on your HP is copies of Aaron Sims work.

e.g.

http://www.aaron-sims.com/creatures/creatures-image-18.html
http://www.aaron-sims.com/creatures/creatures-image-71.html
http://www.aaron-sims.com/creatures/creatures-image-32.html

I am a big fan of his art; he is definitely one of the greatest out there…
I also now his tutz on http://thegnomonworkshop.com/dvds/asi01.html

So don’t you think you could do more as that…?

Sorry, you might think: “who the hell is this guy anyway” but I just don’t like copycats.

Kind regards,
Dave

In 2006 "Lived" copied one feature of Crysis and that was the weapon upgrade ( which already no longer exist in the game) and it is a postapocalyptic scenario till today there are no islands.

I had the idea of creating a cool looking werewolf artwork so I was searching for good references ( wolf images aso.) so I also found this from Aaron Sims, but all artist do there research before they start working on something. I actually know some artworks of Aaron Sims, the demon with the half head was not an original idea in "Constantine" many movies and also Games ( DOOM 3) used half headed creatures.

So even original ideas are influenced by a lot of things, there is now so much media out there that it seems simply impossible not to be influenced. If I work on project I try to abstain watching movies to stay true to my ideas which mostly come from dreams or sometimes just pop up in my mind.

So in the end I used alot of wolf images and a little touch of the Aaron Sims wolf to create a sketch for a later artwork and if you really search closely you will find alot of ideas in movies and games based on paintings.

If you expect "Lived" to be like Far Cry or Crysis I have to disappoint you, Sorry!

In case that it is about the 8 pictures I can find in the link of sebcrea's signature, I can't find any similarities which are stronger than similarities of pics which are spread all over the net and even classical artists.
The pics which are so close of sebcrea and Aaron Sims are not the most creative of Aaron Sims. He has more original creatures which differ stronger from the main stream of the general fantasy pool. And, sebcrea definitely didn't copy that ones.

To say it generally, there's no copying that goes beyond anything that was practise of the old masters of art.

Just my two cents.

Today, I have an early high poly sketch model of the armor suit that has a good chance to find its way in the game. It was done very quick and still lacks in detail.

hey ho from the aspekt of the model quality its very great from the aspekt of creativ its boring all marines at the last time look like quake or doom...

The model needs some more smoothing like you mentioned but the amount of detail you already inputted is great as always

Cheers

yeah its looking really great indeed
