@petrovod thanks alot man
@ESL Thank you! I definitely agree with your opinion, so I made a quick fix before going to bed Thanks for the catch!

Here is another update. Thank you guys!

[Iago_Cavalcante]

Great work mate.

[Steve_Kim]

@Iago_Cavalcante thanks man! nice to see you back

[Steve_Kim]

Concept sheet. Will be adding more sketches later such as composition sketches later

[Steve_Kim]

Did some composition sketches, let me know what you guys think Cheers!

[HorizonDweller]

Awesome ! it reminds me of Warhammer and star wars at the same time lol

[albek]

Cool! Big fan of #2 myself : )

[mr_dessin]

I'd say 3, 4 & 5 but honestly all are cool

But you probably already choosed or maybe...changed ?
Keep up the great work man !

[Steve_Kim]

@HorizonDweller hey, thanks for your comment

@albek Thanks for your opinion! I did like number 2 as well, but somehow it felt cliche.. feels i've seen this hero shot over and over somewhere haha x.x

@mr_dessin hey, thanks for your opinion I haven't been able to work on this for the past couple of days, so i'm still deciding, but my heart calls for number 3, I think im gonna try that out first.

[mr_dessin]

Fun fact that's where my eyes directly lean to : the 3rd one hehe ^^
Good luck then !

[Steve_Kim]

@mr_dessin Thanks man, cheers!

[jenniferbrincho]

Awesome progression! Thumbnail #2 is my favorite (shows off the character best, I think), but #5 is also very cinematic. Keep up the good work

[Steve_Kim]

@jenniferbrincho hey, thanks for your kind words and opinion ^^

[Khulim]

great stuff! I'd say #6 is the best. I like how the man's hand points towards the main subject, and the first titan has a nice loop in his form that brings out eyes right back to the main subject. The cropping of the titan really makes it look larger than life!

I'd suggest that you bring the leg of the first titan closer into the hand of the foreground person because right now there is a shared edge that is creating quite a bit of tension. Also, i'd recommend adding more of the biceps of the foreground man because it is creating an odd 'x' formation that draws the eyes too much.

I'm digging this composition and I'm excited to see how it looks!

[Steve_Kim]

@Khulim hey, thanks for checking my thumbnails out I'm still trying and playing around with these comps, i'll definitely try out #6 as well. Thanks for the useful feedback ^^

[Steve_Kim]

Hey guys, so I decided to go with number 3, and started messing around a little bit. I wanted to see how things might look so I did a quick 3D block in and a rough paintover.

At this point I was already thinking the pose is way too 3D (stiff) and the illustration might be way too complicated.
After messing around with more compositions I ended up mixing a few images, and decided to go with this:

still lots to do and lots of things to adjust and correct, but I think I like the simplicity of this composition better Cheers!

[Pregium]

i would improve a little bit the pose with some dynamic line in your thumbs the pointing lady was much more effective, 1 and 2 had also a delicious rim light i would personally keep. Keep pushing!

[Steve_Kim]

@Pregium hey, thanks for your feedback just got back from a trip, and now I can say that I agree with you about the pose. Gonna have to mess around a bit more! Thanks for your input

[moirae]

In the second image she looks like she is about to tip over (as we cannot see that you have angled the horizon like in the first image.) If you are continuing this tilted effect I would make sure that you include visual clues that you are doing this to the viewer, otherwise we have no way of knowing and your character seems constantly on the verge of falling over.

[Steve_Kim]

@moirae thanks for your input! I will try to put more visual clues as I progress further with the painting
