Cool! I personally like the second color scheme the best, but I feel like the other two could work if they also had more contrast betwenn the colors of the skin and hair.

As I mentioned previously, colour is a very tough topic for me.
I think I'm somewhat happy with the example n.3.
Red and yellow obviously would look great but I've decided since my Moli is a magic monkey she has to wear those fancy colours of purple and blue, haha

echoriel 2018-12-15 22:04:11 UTC #23

One more.

I like this one a lot! While none of your color scheme were bad, she might be my favorite of all those you've posted so far.

One thought I had though, and feel free to ignore it, is that a lot of monkeys have kind of long arms compared to their bodies. I believe they get that to help them when they climb and swing from branches to branches. I'm wondering if you could work that aspect on your character or if it would look too ridiculous.

Either way, I think you've got yourself a very lovely character

Thanks! :>
About the lenght of the limbs... I was experementing on the first stages with it but I decided to go for a monkey girl not necessarily for a female monkey. You know those anime girls with cat's ears and tails? so it is kinda like this. She has some features of a monkey but not a 100% one.
I had in mind a character with longer limbs and more like a monkey (and i did couple of sketches last month) but she turned out to be more evil-looking so I left it out and decided to work on more friendlier character, I hope that this character looks friendly enough

*and yes other colour schemes are absolute disaster haha x) it's ok

Sweet character design and i Love that shade of pink and purple <3
Can't wait to see where this goes!

thanks a lot for the support

echoriel 2018-12-19 20:08:12 UTC #28

A little update on the process of the concept sheet. I'm planning to add a side view because I think it might be not clear how the tail is located on the body and the headpiece as well.

cedricgo 2018-12-19 20:27:59 UTC #29

Come on! That's not what I meant XD I like your other color schemes you did, but that last one just stands above the rest.

She looking pretty great so far

echoriel 2018-12-21 19:56:10 UTC #30

I think this is alright for now.
gonna take a little break (coz im ill and i have a high temperature) and try to come up with illustration for my hero and maybe couplpe more sketches for this concept sheet to make it more understanable

Nice one! looking forward to see final artwork:)

MarcinKulesza 2018-12-21 22:00:56 UTC #32

Cool work! I like the idea and design, also i think you choose the good colours.
Only thing i can suggest - the staff somehow doesn't match the character. She's nimble and fast, and staves are more suitable for old wizards. Maybe a wand? something that wouldn't be a burden while climbing trees.

echoriel 2018-12-21 22:07:30 UTC #33

hey! thanks for a feedback.
I had an idea that she has a ton of options to hold the staff as she has a tail. but i wouldnt say that being up on a tree is her priority, so i dont find it as complicated.
I mean, Wukong has an entire bar in his hands haha
so it's aight

echoriel 2018-12-21 22:07:51 UTC #34

thank you :>

cedricgo 2018-12-22 01:44:03 UTC #35

I'm really looking forward to see what kind of illustration you'll create. She has such a fun design, I'm sure it's going to be awesome!

echoriel 2018-12-23 16:49:55 UTC #36

:3 thanks.
im proud of myself haha
because i do struggle to develop something and finish it up

echoriel 2018-12-23 16:52:05 UTC #37

I have couple of ideas for illustration.
this is gonna be number one that i personally dig quite a bit haha
but i will explore more variations

spxcrs16 2018-12-23 20:30:42 UTC #38

Hanging in the trees, huh. Perhaps revisit Disney's Tarzan. I feel like you could get some awesome stuff out of it.

echoriel 2018-12-24 00:11:39 UTC #39

alright.
so this is super messy but i just needed to lay out these quickies. I'll be busy next couple of days but hopefully i will find some time to create (or at least think about) better ideas for the illustration
(i know that anatomy is not right on any of them.. but im looking more for the setup and overall idea? i need to sleep)

echoriel 2018-12-27 20:57:02 UTC #40

here's an update on my concept sheet
