ART WAR | 2D | Argon the Code druid | BerkeleyPoulsen

This is my first post!

I'll be using this post to show off my submission. I hope you all find it awesome.

I wanted to make a character that commands robotic creatures using various tools. critique welcome.

This is the first pass. Extremely fast sketch.
DECEMBER 22 Progress:

Second pass. Fleshed out facial features.

I'm going to do three 'beasts' in the final product.

Pak: Packmule-bull hybrid. It has some big turrets on its sides.
Dove: A floating orb, scouting type of dealio.
Sam: A killer hell-hound robot with a turret on its back.

All three will have a similarity in the fact that they will have an aqua glowing orb. This will attach them to Argon in the end.

Thanks

FEBRUARY 7 PROGRESS:

Worked a bit on the end detail piece. Decided the face was too tacky, as well as some other things. I don't know the requirements for the end product when it comes to what is included so I think I'll do a narrative illustration. Should be fun.

Here's the basic concept:

thanks! I'll keep at it!

Thanks! I'll keep at it.

I changed everything.

I don't think this breaks any rules but:

Argon the code druid is now a gigantic robot that controls many little robots. Here is a peek at the final illustration:

Am I missing anything? Do I just post my final illustration as a reply? thanks.

About the only thing I kept was the skinny chicken legs and the antlers.

Some more progress on Argon:

Here are two more progress shots. There are just so, so, so many brush strokes, even though it doesn't look like it.

I changed the head shape to make it look a bit more sensible. the right shoulder pad seemed weird so I changed that as well. Any critique would be awesome.
