Well, I'm very excited to be participating in the second Art War competition. The character I'm going with will be a champion of light, and and automita. I'm thinking she'll have a sort of punk look, with lots of bright clashing pastels--but she'll also shoot 'friggin rainbow lasers, so hopefully the light aspect still sells well enough. For now all I have are some very rough sketches. Even so, if features of any of them catch your eye--in a good or bad way--let me know, i'd love to hear feedback!

Here's an update. I refined two of the ideas. I'll likely update again in a few days when I have a final design and a better idea of where to take the colors.

Hey! You have a very pleasant artstyle and the concept art is looking good so far as for the design, the colour palette and design of #1 are my preference, but I have to say I like them both. Good luck!

[tahoeboyd]

Thanks! I'm trying to combine elements of both designs for my next step. I'll post as things come along!

[evehartman]

Nice, looking forward to it!

Here's the final line turn around for my character. I'll be uploading the colored version and some composition sketches as soon as I am able to!

Here's some thumbnails for the illustration (I think I like #1 most) and a few minor design variations I played with for Iris herself.
