UPDATES! finally finished beast's anatomy time to put some crystals on it Walter White spice zero0 "DarkMEth"
still small pieces could be tweaked (that leg's extra muscle is bothering me) but will be done after this step
also not sure if this steampunk metal gauntlet has to stay or to leave... an other version could have a more ornated and worn armorpiece rather than the shiny interlocking mechanisms

Updates!
crystals check
nu gauntlet check
started adjusting colours
here's a comparison between the new direction i'm taking plus some explanation about my colour choices
i felt having mainly the sky of a flat green was wrong for two reasons: 1st it has got an intense amount of chroma and there's nothing to look into it per se (except the demon's silhouette but that is visible also via value check)
and second it was creating a sort of plane behind the demon that was not connected to the physical space of the location expecially below.
to fix that i'm trying to connect the pink/red haze on the ground behind the building more consistently throught a more wide air space and to shift the green to a more yellowish tone moving that area closer to the other colours leading (hopefully) to a more harmonized feel.
the lime green will remain as an accent colour maybe
plus sulfur yellows contribute to the suffocating feel i wanted around the demon.
now time to get crazy with adjustments and vfx

OK so i'm done with this for now, i think i will complete the concept sheet a bit more. If i can't sleep well i will return on it later
ladies and gents i present you my champion

uhmmm original size is 6kx7k i imagine is the site shrinking it?

[Pregium]

Testing out different comps

Amazing progress man, great work on this
I have to say I like the incremental right it looks even more bad ass

[nevs38]

LOVE IT Zach! CONGRATS! \m/
- yup i think it's shrunk, i'm wondering whether we should upload a 2k size just for the contest?

As for the comp, I'm stuck between "Regular" ( nicely draws the viewer in ) and
"Narrow Tilt Left" ( I like this a lot as it follows the demon's pose. Plus it kinda fits well for a book cover! )

[Scoops]

tilt left makes it seem as if the building is gonna fall on your demon baby
