I did try to upload around 4 hours ago but I couldn't, and I was only just about to now!
More process! Because of the extended deadline I've had a lot more time to render it. So far I've spent around 36 hours on it! Changed the background up a bit again, took out some of the clutter and removed the mountains so it looks more open in contrast to his complex character!
And the finished illustration and concept sheet!
I'm going to use this space in order to summarise his story a bit.
Adeodatus is an ancient species of angel called a Seraphim. Seraphim are the only class of angel that wear headress as it's a sign of their dominion and reign over other angels. THey're incredibly powerful, and are all assigned elements, including normal angels. Adeodatus himself with one of very few Seraphim left alive that were all killed off due to going insane or being killed by other angels. Because of this he was captured by the remaining angels and chained to the throne of the goddess. He's lavished in decadence, gold and jewellery and fine armours, however as his power isn't necessary to their welfare and he's not allowed to fight because of the risk of going crazy, he's slowly turning to stone over many centuries. The wing armour is there to protect his wings however it isn't a necessity in fighting. It's mostly a means of keeping him tied down to one place! Personality wise he's very loyal to his superiors, which happens to only be other Seraphim and Cherubim who serve as the Goddesses of the Angels kingdom. He's astoundingly tall and built, being 7'5" and 141kgs. He can't fly for very long unless he sheds some of the armour, which is why when he does fly or fight, he takes his wing armour off. He's also quite strict, he's not lenient at all and won't hesitate to take out any kind of orders, even if it means self harm.
I drew something extra a few weeks ago to show him being chained to the throne, with the Cherubim Goddess upon it! He takes up an aggressive stance when the Goddess is being threatened but if he's provoked himself he'll usually just take it and ignore it.
Well I'm really happy I took part in this competition and I hope I didn't miss out on it because the server was down! I've tried my best to make up for lost time and put all my effort into creating something unique and memorable! And I wish everyone else the best of luck too
