i love the movement in your final illustration!

[Kinryuu]

looking real good, keep up the good work!

[Crayvv]

Yeah I agree with @frankenstejin 's idea, make one style for front and back, keep it consistent

[Crayvv]

Your character's really coming to life now, with your color palette complete, posing is looking great and the character we see from your character is well represented, you're on a roll man! I love seeing more and more of your work as you progress! Thanks for inspiring us.

Amazing anatomy...And color...I'm so jealous ...;c Cant wait for the battle location to appear !! Strong work...

[sanguine]

Wow.. thank you guys all for the really nice comments. They mean a lot to me:)

@afifslim I appreciate your feedback. I figured that the foot was in an awkward position, and I feel like that was causing a lot of the problems you pointed out, so I fixed it:)
@paulmartin Thank you for the nice words:)
@Kuhleesee Thank you!!
@Nanashi Thanks:)
@Kreyhardt Thank you so much! And if I inspire you then that's just awesome.. I feel honored
@mishma Thanks so much:) And the battle location is here hehe

Here's an update. Trying to work out the composition. Colors and values will change, and some elements will likely be moved.

Great job opening up the picture for more exploration Quick critique: So even though she's about to smash that guy with a big ax , i would change up her face expression to something more malicious and angry, with that in mind it would make the character look like she's about to swing that ax over here head with a lot more force.

[infleims]

great stuff! i really like how you renderd the first few pictures. perhabs the fire on the edge of the picture could distract from the champion, you could put it between the two characters or so. her right upper arm seems a bit too long compared to the other one.
cant wait too see more

[s-stark]

This is turning out nicely. Absolutely love your colours/her design thus far.

[sanguine]

@Fris Thank you, I will keep that in mind:)
@infleims Thanks so much! I'll keep that feedback in mind. I did mute the fire quite a bit:)
@s-stark Thank you!

Here's an update. Cropping a lot and just trying to get all my highlights in so I can have a better idea of the final values of the image.

[Crayvv]

Woah the colors are amazing! and are those skeletal deers?! that's badass. Keep it up @sanguine! You never fail to surprise us

[sanguine]

@Kreyhardt thank you:)

[samurai_nik]

It's looking pretty sweet!

[sanguine]

@samurai_nik Thank you!

Here's an update... I kind of completely repainted it Please let me know which version you like better:)

[frankenstejin]

I like the idea of skeleton deers in the background, nice pets and badass like hell. I guess you croped the image little bit too much in your last update. Your champion hasn't enough space for the action, the image need to 'breath'. Maybe a little bit more space ^^

The previous painting has a better pose, but the close up in the new painting lends itself to a cinematic feel, where the focus is the action. I can't really say which is better, but I do like the previous painting and it's halfling hunting focus.

[johnnybillydobby]

Really love the colours and lighting on the figure! Shaping up to be super sick!!

[HorizonDweller]

I Am absolutely fascinated by this piece. it is Awesome ,the pose is great , the color use is really smart, not to talk about how much depth and personality it has

[Crayvv]

I think this one has a better composition and placements of the character, but some say it needs to breath a lil bit which is true. I dont know which one is better, the first one is more atmospheric and relaxing to look, while this one seems to focus on the action and the character

[zazzycreates]

This is a much better perspective then the last one.
