August Challenger is Ended.

My August Challenge - has ended!!. 28/07/2013 - I've set myself a challenge. Starting 28/7/2013, ending 10/08/2013, I need to create (or rather recreate) a design based on the following concept: What if "the king" also had a Steam Knight armour? Guidelines: - The armour must look like it is intended for royalty, (in other words it needs to look better designed, made from stronger materials, and possibly better decorated than the other armours. Possibly more ceremonial looking than functional). - The armour MUST include at least one feature no previous Steam Knight has. - The armour should include a weapon "fit for a king". (In other words, don't rip off an existing design). - The final design should be ready to upload to Cuusoo no later than 11/08/2013. Edit(05/08/2013): (work in progress) I'm going to be posting images of each version as I complete them, here are links to the current crop 1 3 4 As I explained in the notes for "3" I scrapped the changes for "2" before I took any images so they are not included. In a realm of magic the wise men and elves have invented steam technology, these walking suits of armour have been dubbed "Steam Knights". Name: Emperor Rex Species: Human Known History: Rex is the ruler of the human occupied lands of the medieval Universe of the Steam Knights. For most of his life he has ruled from his lion sculpted golden throne with honour and wisdom, but the rising threat of the Wyvern sect of humans has caused him to become more directly involved in the wars fought to protect his lands. Seeking the aid of the Wiseman of the Woods, Rex was given a silver talisman with strange characters inscribed on it in a language Rex recognised from the ship wrecks washed ashore following his war with the invaders from the East. Returning, troubled by this revelation, he sat in his throne pondering the implications, when the castle was attacked. The combination of Rex's need to act and the Eastern magics of the Changelings transformed the throne into a Steam Knight armour. After engaging Lord Bryson in battle the armour converted into its secondary form to battle Bryson's Cockatrice, that of a huge golden lion. Notes: The design isn't on Cuusoo yet as I stupidly tried to post a different design on Friday, which was rejected because the subject matter (my horrific Bone mech) was considered too mature. So I have to wait 48 hours before I can post this design. But hopefully it should be up by Monday. As always please feel free to comment and rate. Spam and duplicate posts will be deleted.
