I felt like drawing Duncan Bulk in the new style I been triying off. Heavy duty hero types have alot of armor (based them on knights), so we have the average heroes who look like something out of mass effect or any cliche Sci fi movie, and the Heavy duties who wield alot of armor



a more personal color scheme, I think the new bulk model would look alot better in silver, grey and black. That's only my opinion tho

A Bulky bulk! Nice design!

[exxtrooper]

I have to say I really enjoy your art in general Roly, you have a very nice style and I like both the Hero Factory artwork you do as well as other type of artwork you do  

[Antrozek]

wow im back, woa, italiano, woah






after seeing the preliminary pictures of the new Hero Factory wave, my feelings on the designs are very mixed, well, only in the heroes, the villains are megabluck GREAT, they’re pretty much ogres, rock giants, demons, and a really horrible insect. the Heroes have a knight vibe going on. probably because the Hero Factory needs to clean up their image since the Breakout, and gave the Heroes an old school hero look.
and we all know the old school heroes are knights.
so yeah, the designs are pretty nasty (in the good sense), but Bulk is..just nasty, I don’t understand what the megabluck is up with this weapon, if that thing under the visor is a nose or part of the helmet. idk. so as always, I went directly into a full redesign.
but im having troubles choosing which one of these should be final, so I could polish it, do turn arounds of it and bla bla.
which one do you think I should make final guys (Im debating between the coat one and the Heavily armored one)?

[Cirkit]

As much as the heavily armored version is appealing, the coat one is kind of growing on me. The whole 'Heroes as Knights' thing is kind of cool, mixes the two ideas nicely.

I love what you did with Bulk's helmet, and I have to agree the face did look odd. I think the second of the two, the one on the right, looks better. Gives him an old knightly feel while retaining the Bulkyness we know and tolerate love. :P

[Jetrax99]

Definitely the coat.

[Aanchir]

I like the one second from the right myself. It really evokes the set design while feeling extremely rugged and muscular. For leg armor I like the designs on the center left, though they could be more stylized to match the rest of the design.

[Antrozek]

I'll do some turn arounds later

edit: I don't think im pleased with this as I thought I would be, it just, it doesn't feels like this is Duncan Bulk. the Set already doesn't feels like him, I think im gonna take my liberties and leave the set influence behind. and go on for a more 1.0 vibe on him, while looking knightly and futuristic

Even if you're not happy with this concept, I have to say the colors and shading are phenomenal.

[DraikNova]

Wow. Dark Stranger Bulk.

[xxlrocka]

That picture makes me want to say "OhmygodBulklookslikeoneofthosemysteriouspeoplefromthemovieswhichmeanshelooksawesome!"

[Antrozek]

finished Duncan Bulk concept!

He's bigger than most heroes, so don't take his bodytype and size as reference for the heroes im going to draw next. also, decided that Breez like most female heroes, will share a medium sized male mold, like surge, furno, etc

[Cirkit]

I like knightly Bulk, but the latest design works very well. I especially like the visor- the way it goes up the neck but leaves the mouth exposed is pretty cool.

Why is his head green though? I thought it was normally orange?

[xxlrocka]

I like it. You've managed to keep Bulk bulky and you've also made him look like the actual set too.

[Cirkit]

I just saw a book cover showing off Bulk's new face, the green used makes sense now.
And, I hate to admit it, but the green is starting to grow on me.
How do you think you'll add Bulk's drill? As a hand-held weapon, or as an arm-attachment?

[Antrozek]

More HF art because im a sucker for Duncan Bulk.

Let's say this is during the possible villain factory arc or something. sdfsdgsd (This picture really has no point, just wanted to draw Bulk all damaged, topless, and with a hole in his chest showing his hero core)

EDIT: doubleposted, jeeeezzz

[DraikNova]

Wow, I like the first one, but the second one is just a little too "bloody".

[Cirkit]

I like the action and what appear to be enemy bot bodies, but the hole in the torso looks a little odd to me. The rip looks more fleshy than metal, but I could overlook it if the flesh is actually some kind of 'spandex'-like protective cover or something, where other armor can't fit.

It's a great scene though. Do you plan on recreating other Heroes, such as Rocka, Stormer, Evo, and Breez in this style?

[Antrozek]

Changed the design

AGAIN

[LewiMOC]

"I wish I had hair"

Little things like that add a lot of humour and personality to an art sheet like this, which doubles the awesome.

[DraikNova]

Pretty nice. The shoulders are too small though.

[-N13OS-]

Surge looks so Mega-Man-ish. =D

[Cirkit]

I agree with N13OS.. Surge does kinda look Mega-Man-ish.

Not a bad thing, mind. I imagine Surge as a young character (he is a rookie, after all) and the rounded look helps with that. I like the tubing, and the overall torso-construction. I'm not sure if the spiky things on the shoulders are for armor attachment or if they are part of the armor  My mistake, they are shoulder pads. Looks different.

The idea for the battery backpack is excellent. It would work for extended missions well, and it looks great too, with the HF logo incorporated onto it.

I like also what you did for the rifle and the electricity blade. There's something about that transparent look that just works. :D

[Antrozek]

AND SUDDENLY, NEW STUFF





NOTES:

- based the armor from different sources, roman, gothic..
- designed them in base of their set looks
- the big scabbards they have on the back, it's only a massive recharger for their energy sabers
- the energy sabers are either main or secondary weapon (see breez, using a laser crossbow)
- the energy sabers DON'T cut or stab, they are like police batons, they hit HARD, like a hammer, they are meant to incapacite, not kill
- Furno design coming soon, he uses a glorified Average male hero armor set

[DraikNova]

Rocka looks nice.
