Hi everyone, I'm a begginer, just learning how to become a concept artist. Really excited to participate!

Character: Xephoa
Story: Ancient guardian of the temple of M'al Khoat. Made of ancient stones that give it life.
It will do anything to protect it's temple.
With the energy of the stones it can cut in half anything that is in it's way.

First thing is the silhouette, I tried a few different ones. Tell me which ones do you like! (I know there isn't a lot of variety, sorry about that!).

I changed the subject from Sci Fi to Fantasy (I hope it's not a problem), due to the color palette that I'm thinking for the character.
I also decided one of the silhouette and adapted it. The armor would be made out of some kind of magic stone, and it would be wrapped up in magic dust/energy to give it life.
Probably gonna keep trying some different combinations but this is the basic idea.

Decided to keep going with the previous armor design and explore the masks.
Probably gonna jump into posible pieces for the illustration next.
Hope you like it!

Took a shot at some colors, I like the color of the stone so that is why it's so similar on all of them. I'm stuck between option C an D, but tell me what you think!

Worked on the pose and base colors. Going to be working on the background next.

After a break from the contest, I decided to work on the shading and change the colors and the pose a bit
