ART WAR | 2D | Evilas | glubglubz

[glubglubz]

Hello everyone!

I had such a tough time deciding which team to support, but I finally chose to go with TEAM FANTASY!

My champion is Evilas. He is the Protector of an ancient land called Havilah - the sacred "Garden of the Desert" rich in gold and onyx. The life given to this land comes from one of the four Divine Rivers as old as the Earth itself.

Here is my initial sketch of his overall proportions and body structure.
It is by no means perfect, but it is a good enough layout to start designing the armor he wears.

I looked at much more reference, but these were the ones to which I would be referring most frequently.

For right now I'm not super sure how convinced I am about him having antlers. Please let me know if I should keep them or not.

Thank you in advance for any critiques =)

Armor sketch

I think I need to change the boots to something more open.

[HorizonDweller]

I really like this one, it imposes authority and respect while looking wise and determined, good job man

[kigerneko]

Nice combo!

Ha nice i was thinking about an owl earlier in this.
Love the look of the head on them.

Nice concept.

[glubglubz]

In stead of wearing boots, I figured that he should have his talons exposed.
I also added some refinement to the face.

Still not 100% sure I like him having antlers...

[glubglubz]

Refinement on the wings, antlers, and lower legs.

Holy crap youre amazing! The armor is neatly designed and the combination of owl, armor and some awesome wings really makes your character stand out! I love it! Im so excited to see more updates, colors! Goodluck man!

First pass for color.
I'm open to suggestions

[glubglubz]

some options for colors.
Please let me hear your thoughts.

like the red one his forearm with the spikes needs to get a change on color though i think for it to work cause too much red otherwise i think.

[malcom]

Good thing I've been secretly following this. I love A and E. Really awesome design. Good lines as well.

[Pregium]

i like D and E more than the others because underline the fact that is somehow relayed to the forest and has some sort of mysticism attached to it, i would consider some variations of the demon arm, to me the red does not fit at his best in my opinion.
i think a variation on cyan could also be viable, the white red and black bring a sort of more civilized culture and order detaching from the wild mood the wings and head bring.
Maybe shifting bits of the main armor pieces of the first 3 to a more "delicate" hue could harmonize the character.

[glubglubz]

My plan was to do a few more arm concepts after I saw how it would look/interact with the base colors.

[glubglubz]

Here are a few more concepts for his arm.

Feedback is always appreciated! =)

"I" looks really cool...not sure for the blue color, a yellow/golden should pop better maybe and stay in your range/palette color ?

I know there is also blue on robe...but golden would make your champion more...heroic right ? (and blue is cold theme)

Just a suggestion
Anyways keep it up !

[moirae]

I think the red and yellow of the armour is too close to the browns of his feathers and it all sort of melds together to me.
I also think you need to add something that would bring the eye up to the head. At the moment the arm is at risk of stealing the limelight from the rest of the design by being the most eye catching element.

Here are a couple more

"final" design and some better lighting.
