Topic:
Imagine the Atlantis and desing its king or queen.

Final contribution should include:
- One finished character design ( full color )
- Sketches and designs.
- Description of Atlantis and very little background of the character.

Original thread with the sketches is here


JAKU's :

His description :

The atlanteas were an alien race that were the first in populate the planet earth. They explored all of it and choose the deep undersea to live. While they were building their cities down there, they created the human race to live on the surface and helped them to create the ancient civilizations. When the human became arrogant, they left them alone sinking their first home called Atlantis, and deleting any evidence of their existence.

My description (quite similar to Jaku's :/) :

Inhabitants of the ancient island of Atlantis were people. Culturaly similar to ancient Greeks - Atlanteans were much more advanced scientificaly - great knowledge had let them explore far ends of the earth as well as the depths of the oceans. Once they discovered an ancient race of creatures living secretly underwater. Inteligent beings were in fact created by the God of oceans. The contact has been made. It grew over the years into an firm alliance between the two great nations letting each grow and expand. And then something happened... reports about the doom of Atlantis are very unclear. It is belived that during the Golden Age of Atlantis a young king - lead by his anger and grief after loosing his beloved wife and son, as well as persuasions of his close adviser called as the chronicles state the Serpent Tongue - started a war. His childhood friend and close military adviser couldn't persuade him to stop the maddnes. We do not know what happened then, but when the island finally was buried in the sea it was nothing more than a ruin. ;)



C&C and vote - please :)

I'll give you my opinion for whatever it's worth. :)

I think Jaku's painting is the best of the two, while both images are quite dark Jaku's has much more vivid colors than thirdeye's whose colors look too flat and the completely black shadows don't help either, imho. I like both descriptions of Atlantis.

Nice work both of you guys.

In case some of you haven't noticed yet - Jaku simply kicked my ass. He won - he deserved it :)
