Hello, Happy to join the contest!
I have quite a clear idea in my mind about what I would like to do, it should be a Hulk type character that is climbing a mountain, cause that's what champions do :). I would love to have the camera low to the character and high to a landscape below him, a bit of diagonals and contrast lighting to emphasize the drama. I want the character to be alone to make it more symbolic, just man and THE WAY. Hope I can do it .

Your grasp of three dimensions is Phenomenal! Those brush textures too, really mesmerizing.

Some liquify, some spikes(not sure about those), some local value added and a first color attempt...

So, I've got this new idea for the final, God of War brings war and destruction to a small village, or something like that, still not sure about it.

Those are the two options I am going to choose from. I feel like the right one is more resolved but the left is more epic. I think the left one misses a bit the interaction of the War God and the buildings, I'll try to solve that and than choose one comp. I think I'll make his hammer of two bull skulls, maybe, and have smoke tentacles come out of his back...to be continued... :).

love the perspective! wonderful.

albek 2017-01-18 14:02:08 UTC #17

Left one stands out much more imo, plus opportunity for nice strong lighting
