Finally, looks like things are heating up! Thanks for sharing your pre-submission work, Hinin!

I'm early to the party but I felt like I wanted to use my time yesterday and today drawing (but mostly today). And since we are allowed to shamelessly promote ourselves here I wanted to share some werk. Share some joy with ye this day:

The first one is good, but I REALLY like the second one!  As for the ship design sketch and the mention of a more brownish color palette, they look a bit too close to the recent "plant people" DLC for Stellaris, which quite frankly, didn't look so great

Hello ES2 community.

I was really excited when I heard about the Faction Creation Contest. Fourteen Days ago when the final vote was online and it was more or less clear to see that The Unfallen will win, I start drawing my vision of The Unfallen.  When the visual design phase started and Amplitude requested a full set of civilian + military unit and three ships, I realize that this is way too much work for me to finish in time. I'm not a good artist, I'm just too slow.

However, instead of giving up immediately I had chosen to finish at least the picture I was working on:

You have one more week ahead of you. If you ditched coloring, and with the week-end ahead of you, I'm sure you'd have time to show something (perhaps you could save up time on detail level as well).

We can't allow two people to make a joint submission however, as this would be unfair to other participants.

Yusss, I thought someone would draw some flying trees and I have been rewarded with such a thing!

Its really great that you put colour into your drawings, it really adds a lot. Its also admirable that you went for the isometric view for the ships, its a harder than doing sideshots like I am going with.

By the almighty sunflowers thanks for sharing.

If you look closely, you'll see that, for the Achene, the isometric view isn't so difficult to do (but I've been able to fail several times...) and, for the Yggdrasil, the leaves take a large part of the picture, and so it is easier to focus on the rest. The Osier was in fact the only very difficult ship to do (and with my skill it has been sometimes nightmarish to give a good sense of speed to this ship, but I'm happy with what I've done at the end).

As for the colors, it was in fact the easiest part : i have always been fan of coloring and I love autumn colors.

Thank you for the feedback.

 I love sunflowers

Hey everybody, I am an Amplidude creative marketing designer (and also freelance character artist for animation).

I liked the concept of the Unfallen (congrats to DevilDog BTW ) so I decided to sketch some concepts during my free time.

Of course, this is a personal initiative. As an Amplitude employee, I can't submit anything for this challenge and this is normal : this contest is first and foremost a big opportunity for you guys to show us your own concepts !

But if I can't submit my sketches, at least I can share them with you.  :)

Colonization ship CONCEPT:

Small Update:
Changed the engines a bit and added flames.

Awwww yeah, seed shape with a biodome, loving it.

Also, for everyone, here is my 1000m ship that I just did, within a few hours today:

Photo blurs everything a tiny bit but hopefully the quality is good enough. Seems the image is tilted slightly to the right, but the angle of attack is lower with the centreline running from just above the middle ship eye back towards the tail.

My idea for the Unfallen ships is centered arround the concept that they are powered with large solar sail or multiple sails at different angles. This time I tried to make the growth look more natural in shape with more twists, I also tried to include chunks of rock, tree fungus shaped pod building, bits of Endless architecture and other small building like structures scattered throughout the superstructure - thats what most of the bumps are suppose to be. The sails are like big autumn leaves with small moss/leaf growth around the base of where the sail begins.

My basic inspiration for the concept is sycamore seeds and a variety of nuts. While mixing in ideas from Eldar ships from ye olde Battlefleet Gothic - solar sails - and tree roots, vines etc.

Right, Ill be away for a bit for some food. Because its 5:30 here and Im feeling it now after sitting here, working.

That smug ass smile on the military, it's tickling me in the right way.

Really nice and clean drawings, I see you are a fan of the 4 arm band?

I like guns on limbs, as a cyborg war-tree would.

I like those flower-cannons on your soldier there, Hinin.

A slap into my face ;) I wish I could draw so fast.

By the way: I love your artworks. Nice level of detail!

I like Digital Hawks designs. 

Are those mushrooms on the soldier's shoulders? 

Its not done yet since there is the lower robe*, leg's and leftmost arm to draw in, as well as finishing touches to do overall but I'm done for today. So this is what I've been up to for the past while there, enjoy folks:

Guns for hands, hands for guns, and being a living bioweapon seems to suit's the Unfallen well in my opinion, since they also form giant kick-ass spaceships and probably other "vehicles". I can certainly think of one with a chest cannon, and chest guns are awesome.

Well I was drawing some stuff to enter but now I see I am clearly outmatched .  Oh well a defeatist attitude never helped anybody. I need suggestions for the lower half of this things body. Anyone have any?
