Line work explorations
Mixed and matched elements Some still looks weird and some worked quite well.
More iterations is needed and hopefully the design will feel more unified and refined.
Any suggestions or comments?

While I like silhouettes 9, 14 and 16, none of the line ones seem to grab me... 6 has some potential, but the huge sleeve things and the parts on the shoulders really bother me. I like the glasses with the tiny underdetailed eyes tho, they look cute. ^3^
Looking forward to the next batch!

@yorieofthecastle Thank you for the feedback. I agree with you on the sleeve and shoulders and I am also leaning towards 6 the most

Combined a few elements while also adding some new features to paint a more vivid personality and story for the character.

Interesting 'hat' in this exploration, it really gives him a more unique silhouette. I like the original '6', seems to have a more 'friendly' silhouette than this updated one.

@borjengoh Thanks for the feedback I will explore more with 6

Still in progress of developing the final rendition of the character with his accessories and clothes. More to come

Skills, Back view and accessories

Kinda getting Garaa vibes looks cool

shengchieh_lin4 2017-01-25 05:28:54 UTC #17

@Skogman Oh it does look like Gaara (had to Google who this is haha)! Thanks for the reference

Final iterations of my character : Eden

Supporting materials

Final colours of my character.

[ The huge gourd bottle holds the breaths of each deceased patients that he had helped and had given him permission to hold onto. These "last breaths" are then transferred into the wings which will enable him to summon hands that can aid him in the process of helping and supporting others. It can also be transferred into the staff which will then allow him to do cool tricks like summon a shield or shoot out energy bolts. The rings on the staff represent his hierarchy position in the field and alternatively the sound signal others that a medic is around. It is also occasionally used to scare small creatures away. ]

slowly, but surely.

Taking a break now

shengchieh_lin4 2017-02-21 15:23:20 UTC #23

Experimenting with the background and colour. Don't really like what I'm seeing atm.

Maybe too much?

Or maybe with the blue orb instead?

shengchieh_lin4 2017-02-23 01:01:27 UTC #26

Further adjusted. I think I have played with most of the settings and this is the best I can do atm.
Just needs a few more tiny tweaks then it should be finalised.

I think this is it. I'm going to let it sit for awhile and sleep on it. Will be back to finalise everything before the due date.

It has been a wonderful yet challenging experience learning how to design a character and to compose an illustration. There are still aspects that definitely still needs further improvement but I am quite proud of what I have achieved so far. This is not the end of my journey. Thank you for this opportunity cubebrush.
