Team Sci-Fi!

Still haven't decided the exact route I'll take with the character, but I'm thinking of incorporating Indian/Japanese/Chinese (again, not decided ) mythology into the character design.

This is a very rough concept sketch I made, needs a lot of work. Thought that maybe the character could be a warrior of peace who is trying to end the war. Not sure, will update soon!

I love the color scheme so far, he kinda looks like Genji from Overwatch haha, keep it up!

Example sphere of what my characters muscles, blood vessels, bones, skin, and "tattoos" will look like.

The tattoos cover his whole body. Some tattoos are calligraphies of his native alien language telling stories of a Great War.

The skin has the same texture as rubber and looks almost inorganic.

Thank you! I don't play Overwatch, but I looked up Genji and yeah they look similar, haha.

Im amazed of the idea, tattoos telling great war from the past thats cool, and the way you presented his muscles and veins etc are outstanding! Keep it up and yeah glad you looked up genji haha

Amazing work on the anatomy man! His design is pretty much one of the most unique Ive seen, he's barely clothed but still displays power, thats not something I would always find here in the forum! The bright colors is amazing as well, it really adds a personaility to him! I'd love to see him have weapons though But anyway, keep up the good work!

Thank you @Kreyhardt!
I didn't want to give him weapons because I want him to be a peacful emissary. Guns and swords would show that he wants to fight and that he is hostile. His weapons are his strength, size, tail (which can elongate/shorten and thicken/shrink, thus, acting like a large flowing battering ram), and his chakram on the back of his head (which acts like an EMP on magical powers).

These are some alternate color versions I made, just to experiment. Let me know your thoughts! I also feel that the tattoos and green circles make it look crowded and and trying to fix that so both essential elements work in harmony.

Out of the above designs, I still prefer the No. 1.
The second one makes him look too godly, and the 3rd isn't as impactful.

Nice engraved skin tattoos really gives that texture more to his skin! Nice work

butterbar 2017-01-12 11:18:24 UTC #14

Yes! That's what I was going for. Thank you!

Almost done with the front view. I should probably start working on my final illustration
