Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Dat J. August Richards Thread

[Alex_Kidd]

the concept is AWESOME!

 

[Huddsy]

He works for s.h.i.e.l.d, a spy organization. His costume makes sense given the context.

Falcon?

he's not in SHIELD.

 

[Gr0oT]

You didn't say "a cheap TV grade cybernetic makeup job" when making your initial comparison. You said "Nebula in the GotG movie". If your not thinking anything even approaching that quality of work ( which it wouldn't be, not nearly ), then you shouldn't use Nebula as proof of anything.

A median could be achieved, a halfway point between the sleek look of Nebula and the more robust look of Deathlok and it could be achieved on the AoS show judging by the leg.
I don't know why people are so intent on defending mediocrity.

 

[Artistsean]

Where you calling my art, design mediocre?
Out of curiosity and to beat a dead horse, what would you be happy with and what wouldn't be mediocre?

 

[Six]

Your design looks good to me, I like the colour scheme, although you should experiment with face plate, and maybe put it on the other side of his face. I like the fact that he's so grotesque in the comics.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

Nebula is in a 150M+ budget movie. Deathlok is on a TV show. Think it through.

Dude. It's not like Nebula's prosthetics can't be done on tv. You act like it's too high-quality for television. Similar things have been done before, chill out. It can be done with Deathlok.

Like someone posted this pic from the Terminator show, and it looks great.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

And for a studio like Marvel who maps out their cinematic universe, do you guys honestly think they don't have Agents of Shield mapped out? C'mon now.

 

[Gr0oT]

Well the people in charge of the movies are different then those who run the shows, I'm sure if Feige had been in charge of AoS things would have been different.

But ThePowerCosmic you've pointed out a flaw in metaphysician comparison. As soon as I mention Nebula it's as if the entire $150 million budget if reflected in the quality of her prosthetics when most of that money is actually going to bringing the cosmos to life.

Anyways it does look like Deathlok is having some parts added to him, the latest clip showed some sort of add-on to his back which looks nice. Still missing the most integral part of his look that has been consistent in all his incarnations, the face plate.

 

[Joeyjojo72]

The budget is reflected in everything including hair makeup lighting set design etc. Time is also a huge factor as is the size of the teams involved in each segment of the production.

Still no excuse for the show looking cheap next to, say, NCIS or Bones - the CGI money shot notwithstanding.

Isn't the thing on his back the same thing he had in the 1st episode attached to him?

 

[Gr0oT]

Not sure, just had a minimal glimpse at a horrible resolution.
But it looks new, has the same blueish glow as his leg.

 

[Artistsean]

The dots on his face in some of the pictures makes me think they will CG in the robot parts of his face and maybe more.

my concept again:

Spoiler

 

[Dark Raven]

Your concept makes him look exactly like these soldiers in Iraq in standard battle armour gear. Even the camouflage colours look the same.

 

[Gr0oT]

The slacks and sweater under his armour are completely pitiful, could they not have thought of anything better than that?
Ann Foley should be ashamed.

Plus if the dots on the face are meant to be CG of sorts why wouldn't that be reflected in the concept?

He looks like a cheap budget version of Deathlok the same way we got DD in black in Trial of the Incredible Hulk or the viking version of Thor in TIH returns.

 

[JB-the-Hunter]

I'm wondering if you two actually saw the new promo because he looked awesome.

 

[mkilban2]

Didn't see the promo yet

But he looks awesome in those pictures to me! I love the Mike Peterson character, right up there in my top favorites on the show.

 

[Vartha]

some of it's on this

Glad you asked!!! Just watch April 1st... We'll talk after... “@FunkyFu42: @jaugustrichards @cpusavant @Marvel No face plate?”

Mike is a pokemon, he will keep evolving

 

[Dark Raven]

I haven't watched any promo or even watched Assembling a Universe yet, as it was too late last night by the time Vartha established that it was safe for me to watch, and I had to go to bed.

 

[BoredGuy]

yeah it looked a bit better in the promo last night
and like others mentioned, the tracking dots on his face have me convinced he'll look even closer to deathlok by the end of the episode

I don't tweet.
But this seems like a confirmation of a face plate?

 

[Alex_Kidd]

definitely

 

[JB-the-Hunter]

I watched the promo again, since I recorded Assembling a Universe, and it definitely looks like he has some metal UNDER the skin of his face.
