Thanks for your input, I'm looking for a dominant epic feelingso I guess if we lost that in the zoom in version I should keep the normal one, but like you said it looks better in the zoomed version.......so ahhhhhhhh!!!
I need to think this a bit more xD

[cremer-moritz]

I would recommend trying lowering the camera angle. it is harder to draw but always looks more epic.

[rgdraw]

Yes that might work!
I got some ideas I need to test, and I'll try to post them today

[sasha-c]

I've been following your progress on Instagram but it was awesome to scroll through and see the comments here keep up the good work, interested to see the back of your character (without the cape) and am 100% looking forward to your final illustration

[rgdraw]

Thank you so much !!
I completly forgot to work on the back part xD Thanks for the reminder, I'll work on that asap

[rgdraw]

One of the idea I had for this illustration, I felt like it was too stiff, and I made too much illustration that were simillar, So I tried this, which allow to showcase a bit of her powers too, what do you think ?

[rgdraw]

I also had something like that in mind, it's not very dynamic but I had to put it on "paper"
Do you like this one more ?

[sparksofdawn]

Opinions inc: In the last one, I feel like there's not enough in-world distance between the two for your hero to be so much smaller (and in general she's too small and crammed in the top compared to the whole canvas space).
As for the jumping one - it's cool, but play with the trajectory a bit, I don't think she's going to reach her enemy with that leap - the panda (was it a red panda or a red fox, I forgot XD) is too tilted forward, rotate her to the back a bit.
I'm personally a little torn between the old stand-off version and the leaping one, but it's your tough call

[Tesat]

previous one looks better but not because it's dynamic, the composition has more flow to it

[rgdraw]

@sparksofdawn and @tbrk Thanks a lot for the feedback guys! Yeah I need to really work on the characters positions on this, it's like the more I try to push to find something better, the worse it gets XD
Doing a little break to rest my mind a bit and see all of this with fresh eyes! Thanks for the support guys

[rgdraw]

Did some little tests today, nothing very complexe, gonna try different stuff tomorrow
Do you like one of those ?

[Tesat]

I'm still liking the first one, you can fix it up a little more by moving that spiky rock in the mid ground to the right and showing some more of the tail. You'd probably come up with these anyway but just as a reminder Also you don't have to show that much of the background, if you're struggling with compositions try a thumbnail where it shows more of the characters and less of the environment and see how it works. You already have the first one but idk maybe remove the second character for a change and move the camera closer

[rgdraw]

@tbrk Thanks! You're right I'll try something like that! (I just love having a good part be the background, makes the character part of a real place)

But on the mean time I sketched more ideas, well the same idea but with two different angle
"Standing on top of the tree waiting for her target, she knows it's a powerful opponent and knows when she has to use the terrain at her adventage"
What do you think ?

[rgdraw]

Also I started working on her design back view, removed the cape of course, otherwise it would've been not so interesting, but much faster to do! xD
It needs a bit more cleaning now, and add the little details and then the spear full design to do!

[Tesat]

A looks nice but sort of tricky because you'd probably want to show your character's face more than anything and if she looks up it might feel a little off because she would look at the target in this setting. B works better in that regard, I would do A if this wasn't a contest but B is more solid

[rgdraw]

Thanks dude !
I agree with you, it would be hard to see her face on A
B would be pretty cool I think, but among all the composition test I've made so far do you think I should go for this one?

[Tesat]

You're welcome I think you should work either on B or the more dynamic one with the jumping red panda. I don't know exactly which one to pick, if you're in a tough spot deciding which one to use just add more detail into those two and decide which scenario will have better lighting, colors and so on

[rgdraw]

Thank you!
I'm gonna do that then! Thanks for being there and the support so far!
(Btw is it me or is it a bit more quiet these days ? )

[Tesat]

No biggie my friend I have to step up my game to reach you guys, work and school stuff are getting in my way . Anyway,yeah it's kinda quiet.... quiet before the storm that is lol

[rgdraw]

And yet you're here everyday! That says a lot

It's probably that, the storm is coming !
