Here is some progress on the final Illustration submission. Just working with composition and values/tones at this point

flipping and to fix issues that can spot. Now off to my day job. hahaha

Progress looks great!

Thanks Berry! Hoping I can get this lighting right though

Nice work! I'd suggest giving your character a little more room to breathe in the composition currently; a nice trick is to get the head lined up with the top third to give the focal point room the breathe. I'd also be careful with your values and contrast, currently it's very easy to lose your character in the background so maybe try and separate your values a little more.

If you want some reading material to really help you with composition definitely check out Framed Ink by Marcos Mateu-Mestre. Incredible book on compositional theory and storytelling!

Thanks adamostridge! I see what you mean about the composition and values. Will get these finalized before I move to much further into color. Plan on ordering the book soon. Thanks for the resource.

chagens 2017-02-24 08:14:07 UTC #13

Made some adjustments based on adamostridge feedback and played with lighting and contrast more. Still a work in progress

chagens 2017-02-26 22:48:40 UTC #14

ok I really wasn't feeling the last composition. Just wasn't popping. My chanpion gets lost a bit.
So decided to change things up.

chagens 2017-02-26 22:49:35 UTC #15

more progress
Illustration is darker than preferred. Still playing with lighting.

chagens 2017-02-28 22:27:08 UTC #17

More progress on final Illustration

chagens 2017-03-01 00:13:28 UTC #18

Does anyone know if its true that the deadline has been extended for another day?

chagens 2017-03-01 16:08:02 UTC #19

Still fiddling around with this one. Added some more bacground elements and lighting shading.

Well I realized that I disqualified myself by not adding one concept sheet, amongst many flaws in the final illustration. I will continue on this one, most likely in critique thread or artblog.
