Hi guys, my name is Noah, I’m so excited to start my first art challenge and curious how far I will go with. First of all, I will go with the fantasy theme.

My champion is a vampire mage … that’s all I knew so far. He has the power to control mirror (shivers) to destroy/capture enemies, to summon minions or change to his alter ego (female form). Maybe the last one is too weird and confusing, we’ll see.

Good luck everyone and let's have fun!

Sketching the first idea

The first sketch how he can looks like. But I'm not happy with an elf and so I decided to make him little bit mystical and that stuff.

Clothes design

I started with some clothes design to define in which century the vampire mage came from. The first two lines look so messy, no clue in which way i should go. I like 13 and 14, maybe parts of 15/16.

[knetixhertz]

that's a lot to choose from

Clothes design

Next step: I picked number 14 and did some concept sketches for the clothes. I don't like the lower part yet. And C is too pristish aarrrg

[paulmartin]

14 was the one I was going to say I liked best as I was scrolling down. I believe that A looks best in the "Clothes design." As far as that strangeness you remarked about, I think that if his skirt followed gravity straight down and didn't flare outward, you'd be set.

It's looking good so far. Keep it up.

[frankenstejin]

Thank you for your feedback. I will merge A, B and C together to create more variations. I guess the clothes design looks too pristish right now. I have to fix it.

Design 11 and 3 is what I prefer, good story from the armor you could tell, amazing shapes too. I wonder what his powers are, really interesting

[frankenstejin]

Thank you! I want to make something special to the clothes to recognize
the mirror shivers, something like frazzled cape or something like that.
Maybe he can summon a huge mirror to use in battle.

[HorizonDweller]

Man, your sketches are awesome and the idea is something easy to feel familiar with.
The fact that you did so many versions and adopted the best elements of each will definitely repercute in the final result.
great job and... keep it up

[frankenstejin]

Thank you

Clothes design

I mixed the sketches I did before and created a new one. There are some details missing I will add later.

[sirallon]

I really liked 14 from the first set of armor, it's looking pretty promising btw, sticking around to see the final illustrations for sure

[sanguine]

These are looking really awesome... I do like C from the previous sketches. It's not too much priest and I think the hood is a good direction:) Excited to see more!

[frankenstejin]

Face/hair sketches, I like 1 and 14 (same face ^^)

Little summary

[frankenstejin]

Sketches to find out how the character could be. The haircut is boring, isn't it? haha

[Crayvv]

The hair is plain for now, add a lil bit of a hair strand coming down his eyes or somewhere and boom, you might get a boring hair that is really memorable haha just a suggestion!

[Simeei]

Hey there! I think your character is amazing

I don´t really like the hair, it looks kind of plain Maybe some facial hair could help? Like the head #4 you posted before.

Really cool design, keep it up man!

[frankenstejin]

Thank you @Kreyhardt @Simeei You're absolutely right about the plain hair. I will rework it and create something special and memorable
