First of all, I decided to join team fantasy.
I really hope to learn from both this challenge and from you guys participating.
This is my first time doing something like this, so I'm pretty excited!
so yea, here we go.
Lore
The character I'm creating is called Thalundri, but he calls himself Ricochet, he is an archer with one big heavy longbow as his weapon. This ascended ranger wanders through the woods and protects merchants and travellers from bandits and other evil creatures.
He is one of the ascended warriors from an old higher race. Most of them became kings and build great cities.
However Thalundri named himself Ricochet because of his love for ranged weapons, and he sought to wander through the lands, protecting those who needed protection the most.
His longbow the "branch of mithril" is capable of shooting heavy arrows of 2 kilograms at high velocity, causing them to flinch even the biggest enemies. They can pierce through thick layers of wood and leather with ease, and can even decimate several layers of steel.
His left arm is enhanced in order to handle this heavy weapon.
here are some color try-outs I did after finishing up his design in line-art, really liking number 3, it has pretty cool
"ascension" vibe going on. But number 2 is pretty decent as well.
His new look, I wanted to make him more of a character with a story, this guy looks more unique than the previous design, that's why I went with this instead.
first colored version, not sure about palet, just went with a forrest-ish camo.
His weapon, the bow, will be a magic-powered weapon, which allows for great accuracy, even in poor circumstances, like in the air or when in close combat.
the bow will probably have some of the floating shapes at both ends, like in the thumbnails and the other sketches. Gotta stick with fantasy!
The first more clear sketch of my champion "Ricochet" I gave him a traditional bow for now. I kept some of the shapes that I really like from the first thumbnails and sketches, and added more familiar design ornaments to the concept. As well as some armor try-outs. Next design will be in color, I'll try out some palets soon!
this is a quick sketch elaborating on one of the thumbnails, still searching for interesting shapes. Not worrying about color yet.
this is a quick sketch, trying to find interesting armor designs for my character. this guy looks like metapod, hehe.
these are my first rough thumbnails, nothing special, just searching for shapes.
some of the side-characters, "bad guys"
