i chose to do the bust of an elder warrior. below is the concept. ive mailed it to myself so its copyrighted now so you cant steal it and make it.
Story Overview
A meteor crashes into a planet of two societies. The people of the air and the people of the soil have lived in peace for centuries but the impact of the meteor instigates a war. The people of the soil believe that the meteor was a weapon used by the people of the air to begin taking over the surface of the planet to obtain precious resources. Our protagonist was a working class family man when the PotS made their surprise counter attack on the PotA. Now it is up to the hero to discover the truth behind the meteor before the two cultures destroy each other.
Overall game concept.
Game begins shortly after the meteor hits the planet. PotA are not affected by it, but everyone can see from the flying cities the destruction that has occurred on the surface of the planet. One of the largest cities of the PotS is wiped out. The citizens from the PotA are very concerned and feel bad aka there are no harsh feelings for the PotS. Everyone thinks it is a natural disaster. The protagonist's home city is fully explorable and a living place. The hero is free to explore the city and familiarize himself with the layout as this will be very important later on in the game. War breaks out when a neighboring Flying City is hit by some sort of bombardment from PotS. The entire world of the player is then embroiled in battle. It is never just the hero fighting the enemy army by himself. Rather, the first portions of the game would take place on his home city where he is tasked to defend it from the PotS who are threatening to board. Buildings will catch fire and collapse, etc. Eventually the protagonist is tasked with assaulting the surface, so gameplay will be somewhat different there as it will be hostile and unfirmiliar territory.
PotS are a much more brutish race, humanoid in form, but more beastly than anything else. PotA are technologically advanced and smaller in stature. The setting is fantasy/futuristic, but not hardcore scifi american futuristic (like halo/gears of war).
Conflict Urgency to get to understand the cause of the war before everything is lost.
