Help me finish this Wolverine drawing

Jimmy · 10-18-2007, 12:22 PM

This is my preliminary sketch. I want to do a weapon X image. He's going to be wrapped in thousands of wires just all over him. Here's where I need your help...

What should go in the BG techs? or a butt load of monitors? Help.

Monitors would be cool, but only if the displays will have images on them. I also think a central large monitor, with the face of the Professor, or what ever his name is in Weapon X by BWS, would be cool, especially if surroneded by smaller ones with other scenes or information.

Also maybe try a Danger Room scene on a clear monitor where Wolvie is actually fighing something in the same pose, something that is obviously not there in this image.

Kinda an inverse...usually he the helmet on, being controlled in VR. so this image would be the image of him in the VR combined with nothing, while the image on the screen would show the details of the VR.

You could also use a large screen in a 3/4 over head showing him all strapped up or bottle up in a state of semi-unconsciousness.

Monitors is a good idea, but I think if you do 'em, Jimmy, they should show the figure you've already drawn, seen struggling from different points of view and different angles. Some close-ups, medium shots, far shots---that sort of thing.

Jimmy · 10-18-2007, 02:25 PM

Bad ass ideas! Seriously thanks. What do you think about technictions or scientist in the BG?

BKMDog · 10-18-2007, 03:54 PM

Scientist, looking formidable, but either a full or two-tone silhouette---OOooooooo---Scary, Kids!

Mike225 · 10-18-2007, 03:56 PM

Have you considered putting a Space Jumper and clowns in there? That would inject drama!

W. Smith · 10-18-2007, 04:47 PM

I changed my mind.

How about the large monitor with Weapon X ripping through a ton of scientists and technicians, and then in front of that (between the monitor and Wolvie) put a row of scientist and technicians all taking notes with terrified or grossed out looks on their faces.

or instead of tech or props, go for some thing symbolic. what about a huge looming picture of the modern day wolverine? make it look like logan is "freeing" himself from his weapon x past and struggling towards his future as an x-man. it saves you from having to draw all that additional tech and detail, plus you get to draw something fun.

Now I like that not just cause it's less work. It has a bit of story to it!!

W. Smith · 10-18-2007, 05:49 PM

This is why writers cannot be artists. If I can see it in my mind's eye, you should be able to draw in on the page right?

You're copping out, cheating yourself of the real challenge!

I think you need to have an observation booth in the BG with an science intern holding up logan's pants and snickering like a school girl....like"are these yours?..come and get em'!!...that wold be awesome.

how about some 'capsules' some kind of chambers were the subjects(including logan ) are put in? and loads of overhead lights and wires

sebzero11 · 10-18-2007, 10:57 PM

I think you should have monitors showing other people in wires, each screen should list Weapons A-W!

Yeah, this is a geek thing, but it's not Weapons A-W. X=10. So, it would be Weapons 0-15 or 16, I can't remember where they stopped.

Oh, and the program has the greatest name of all: Weapons Plus.

Jimmy · 10-19-2007, 03:46 PM

The majority seems to think a monitors and tech so I 'll run with that, thanks!
