MAGI is an acronym for Militia Anti-Gravitational Infiltrator. Magi is able to create and control forces against the force of gravity to hurl objects at her enemies and attach herself to walls and other structures.

I think I'm done. I've learnt a lot over the course of this competition, especially about my own style and what approach suits me best. There are some things I could have done better and I wish I had spent more time on this, but there's always next time! Good luck everyone, I've seen some extraordinary work here!

Edit: I'm not seeing the submission button, so I've updated this first post with the final images as stated in the instructions.

While I'm set on Magi being a sci-fi inspired character, I'm still not quite sure on whether she is a robot, cyborg, or a person inside a suit. Just quickly sketching some different and fairly random designs at this point to see what looks good. I'm thinking for my next few sketches I'm going to put a greater focus on her power.

I think the source of Magi's abilities will be from her gloves (and maybe boots too), so I'm going to have to figure out how they are going to look and function. I want something that isn't bulky but form-fitting while still having moving parts.

Just some more concepts for the gloves (or robotic hands) and forearms.

Trying to figure out (roughly) some dynamic poses.

My first more polished depiction of the character; but still very much a work in progress in terms of the actual design elements. I'll probably create a few more different versions of this, however before doing that I think I need to consider colours for the character design first.

twinji 2018-12-28 16:29:55 UTC #7

A few more poses that may be used in the final piece for the character in action.

twinji 2018-12-29 16:20:30 UTC #8

So got a bit carried away with another design for the character instead of looking into colours. I think my final design will be a fusion of the two fairly distinct designs shown above.

This arm looks like its touching the depths of my soul!

twinji 2018-12-30 17:01:57 UTC #10

I created a third design for the character based on the first two designs, this time helmetless and more human.

mr_dessin 2018-12-30 17:41:31 UTC #11

The last one look very nice ^^
Cape (from first) could be a nice touch too, maybe ?

twinji 2019-01-01 11:11:31 UTC #12

Thanks! I agree, will probably end up adding that to the last design as well.

twinji 2019-01-02 10:51:56 UTC #13

I want the character to have some kind of cape/capelet, so I've been trying out a few ideas. Open to any opinions on these.

mr_dessin 2019-01-02 11:40:36 UTC #14

These are all looking good ^^
But the second look to be rising above others.

twinji 2019-01-04 15:35:59 UTC #15

Thanks! I think I'm either going to choose that one or the standard cape.

twinji 2019-01-04 15:42:31 UTC #16

A rough outline of the pose I think I'm going with, along with some very rough background elements for now.

Love the rendering on these concepts, her face is brilliant. I think the split cape is best, but maybe with the top of the third one - since it gives her the flowing cape feel, but the split in the cape reveals her legs in the sillouette.

Looking forward to the final!

twinji 2019-01-05 08:38:18 UTC #18

Thank you for the feedback!
I agree about going with the split cape, it's definitely better for the silhouette as you mentioned.

twinji 2019-01-05 08:42:20 UTC #19

More progress on what hopefully will become the final image.

twinji 2019-01-05 14:42:01 UTC #20

More progress.
