A speedpainting (not very speedy in fact haha) to set the mood/atmosphere I really want...

Not sure if you could notice but I took back that sort of mechanical feral I had created on my very first drawing.
It's becoming a sort of giant mega audio amplifier...with it people could hear the song/music through walls/buildings/windows...

I'll try to explain a bit more the story in few days.

[mr_dessin]

Small changes on the composition.
So the microphone is bound to speakers (I probably need to make them lot more sci-fi than this...no idea how for the moment).
Laters and keep up all the awesome work you're doing !

[berrysquare]

Oh wow, Your character development is nice!

[mr_dessin]

Thank you so much @berrysquare !
Update 3 & 4

"Mr robot" (need a name) will probably gonna change again during the process

[malcom]

Very lovely character you have there. I really like her gesture and the colors of the piece. Keep up the good work. And yes go team SCI-Fi

[mr_dessin]

Thanks a lot @malcom !

I tried to give some peace and calm with her, in this chaos/ apocalyptic world.
Next process I'd certainly create 2 or 3 set of clothes.

@petrovod , I kept your advice in mind and darken her hair with some little tint of blue & pink, what do you think ? (I know this is not looking really the same like the 2nd haircut, but close enough ?)

This is not my final artwork (by the way the original painting is 3 times bigger ^^') - but kind of a practice somehow...
And I don't like her companion enough right now...Maybe I'd come back to the initial sketch (without the big canon sure ).

It's easy to keep up with all people who push themself too !
Glad to be here

[petrovod]

Yes, I agree with a blue or pink tint hair looks good, you can even try a reddish or yellow, should also be good. But in general it looks dynamically

[mr_dessin]

Thank you again for your kind words and feedback @petrovod !
I think I'm gonna try some yellow on top of the hair, it should look very shiny like that ^^

[yuushin7]

Nice progress do far keep it up, I'll catch up soon! xD
That robot thingie behind her is cool, but he's drawing my attention the most at the moment, not her. I suggest that near the end you lighten the values and reduce the contrast on stuff going on in the background so that attention is on her and maybe try out moving around some elements and maybe re-cropping the image, I don't feel like current composition is working in the image's best interest. I did few quick edits to show you what I mean about composition, you decide the rest :3

[mr_dessin]

Thank you so much for the feedback and the paintover @yuushin7 !

Even if I really like that robot...I feel is far to be enough epic (but that is his 1st form - he will be destroyed at some point in the story...and it'll be rebuilt like a true epic warrior - I still need to figure how haha).
Also I want him to be sit like a dog or a cat because as it is right now...he looks stressed ^^'

I'm not really sure about the re-crop part - in fact I was thinking the other way - sort of a panorama view.

But for sure I keep all your feedback and suggestions in mind !
Thanks again !

And can't wait to see your progress / process / poney vs tank battle

[yuushin7]

Panorama can work too, espeically if you want to depict that chaos around her you mention :3 But then the question is what to do with spiral of floating speakers above her — because they look really cool too, but wouldn't work with panorama view.
Questions questions... Good luck with deciding on that, but yeah, either way I suggest moving away from the square

Oh I don't think any ponies will be involved in the "final battle" I'll be drawing, that was more to "paint the picture" of differences between opposing forces xD

[mr_dessin]

Thanks again @yuushin7 !
I don't think I'll have enough time to finish this one because...

Well after some thinking I'm not really sure anymore if I'd stay with Tressa...I have done another character from a very bad side this time, here is the sheet and a color test.
I called her Tanezika, a sort of demon-robot hybrid
@ESL & @malcom : Do you think that's ok or...I'm out of contest limit (because maybe of fantasy-scifi hybrid ?)
Easy to change if I transform her into a human or android (still with robot/armor parts) I guess ?

[rgdraw]

Very different direction but looks interesting, good luck !

[petrovod]

Wow! the concept has changed, by the way looks interesting

[mr_dessin]

Thank you again @rgdraw & @petrovod !

Re-reading the contest FAQ...I'm not really sure if a bad/evil champion is really allowed here... (or in the place of the antagonist only).

So I'm changing Tanezika into a better character.
Hope I could show something soon.

And I really need to hurry ! Time goes really fast ^^'

[rgdraw]

I think you can do an evil character, I've seen demons and devil character so I'm pretty sur you go for it

[mr_dessin]

Sure thing I have seen this too ^^
Maybe the biggest problem I have is that I don't feel confortable to do evil character...Or my ideas can't fit with an evil character...

I'm sketching a lot right now
I need at least 10 designs to have some choice.
Right now close to 3... well I'm gonna not sleep tonight or just a little haha

[rgdraw]

Oh well then if you're not comfortable with it, then yeah change direction.
Good luck !!

[mr_dessin]

My favourites lean to J, K, N & P. I refined a little more J, but I prefer the sketch haha - will try detailing a lot more (and maybe those legs are too thin)).
Also like (but they need some more refining) D, E, H, I, M & O.

Your opinion guys & gals ?

[yuushin7]

This character definitely has more interesting presence then the other one :3
I like the J one too, other that that... I liked N
