======================================================

Hey everyone! I thought I'd start this challenge as I finally have some time spare to make something personal.

So I'm choosing to make the Fantasy champion. My idea for this was to try taking some tropes of the genre and making something I thought could feasibly beat someone with advanced tech. So in my mind were things like:

Half-animals (So centaurs and the like)
Ethereal - (So the physical world of sci-fi wasn't much of a threat)
Unassuming - (So old wizardy folks who look weak but have intense power)
Fae - (As that's real old-world fantasy)

I created a few sketches but this is what I like so far. Something slender, weak, and slightly dryad-like, covered in moths and light.

======================================================

I'll update more as I go, but I hope you guys like it and I'll be checking out your posts too!|

Curious idea, the dynamic is really good to be a sketch

Am I looking forward to seeing what this one turns into? Hell yeah, loving the moth theme too!

Thanks everyone

I'm really sorry I dropped off the map for as bit. (My father ended up getting really ill and so it kinda demolished my plans.)

Anyway, I'll be finishing this character, but there's no way I can make it in time for the end. But I hope you'll still be interested to see how it develops. I typically stream my work on it on my Twitch anyway:

TWITCH Steam

Here's the latest anyway, just making a few variations

Looks nice, great work
A bit sad that you couldn't finish in time, but I hope you'll still finish it later

I like the design too!
Great work:D
