I'm amazed how some people can start off with silhouettes right away. They read very well. Settled on one yet?

Thanks!
I like to work with shapes 'cause it gives me freedomin and representation in general
Now I'm choosing between skullhead and that with wings (love such surreal combinations)

Wow thats some sweet thumbnails, super clean! the one on the right is my favorite

I really can't explain it, I just love shapes 'cause they are more understandable and clean, I see the result right now unlike deceptive lines. You can work with shapes like sculpture with clay, it's just... comfortably, I think : D

That is looking INCREDIBLE. Loving the design a lot. The color comps are so nice too. Really looking forward to seeing more!

Beautiful concept! Although if I may point out, I feel like the values of your golden motif, particularly inside the skull's eyes, detract from reading the skull shape, I'd just suggest toning those down, to avoid drowning that great concept of yours in not so relevant details.
Just my humble opinion, keep up the great work!

@pencilequipped @bohemiannihil thanks!

@aeguilrod thank you! Yes, I wasn't sure about this moment: if it makes problems for viewer to perceive the shape of armor or if it's inconspicuous. Oh, my love for details... So, yeah, I'll fix it!

That's crazy, we had pretty similar ideas for our characters thematically haha.
Really liked how this turned out, it looks awesome!
