Wishing you a very Happy new year Annie!
Thanks a lot!

Man, once again - Awesome work and captivating attention to detail, it's just nice to look at the image!
Also, looking forward to the back view on the concept sheet, as I just started wondering whether the green orb is a part of him or the background (send answers pls XD)
And Happy New Year to you too! May it be full of joy ^^

Heyy buddy thank you!! Wishing you an amazing New Year as well!!

You know what .. it's quite contradictory ...right from the start.

Usually the halo / nimbus surrounds the head of a holy person.

However ... this "force" is well ... i wouldn't say holy at all ..... but because of it's spiritual nature .. it seriously needed something ( symbolical i think )to elevate it's dark divinity.
Else it would've been just another form floating around.

There's a lot that i want to explain that obviously will also question the meaning in this piece.

All in the finale =)

Hope you could finish this how you really want to !
Honestly all the step are amazing my bro ^^

Best of a new year for you and everything !!!

JEROME! Wishing you the same as well bro \m/ :grin: \m/

Now the actual last minute picky details are getting to me. Sometimes there are questions from my colleagues that make me rethink a few things ( although nothing major )
But hopefully ... all be done in time.

I really want to see your finished entry! you went through a lot of ideas ... you gotta finish it!

Thanks a lot Neville !

Try for the best you can, but don't be too much picky xD

Hahahaaha....oh yes, too much many ideas...we're sort of the same, even if we're surely working very differently !
I'd try my best to finish this, even if that means no sleep for 10 days xD (kidding of course, just 9 lol).

LOLL XD
i swear i'll not make any drastic changes. O_O
But yeah ... we're pretty much the same :laughing: :beers:

And PLEASE ... get some sleep. Just utilize time well.
( i made this mistake way too many times ... not getting enough sleep ... and then still failing to complete my entry. Bitten more than i could chew T_T )

The piece is looking really solid, i love the ominous vibe you conveyed, i would love to discover better his features in the sheet, perhaps it could be the most challenging part to give him compelling designs throught his aetherness, LOVE it sick job!

Bro... Thank you immensely for your kind words. Really meant a lot!

You are absolutely right... It is challenging to work around the overall design. Much of it is a clash/mix of certain elements. ; solid, vapour/mist, foliage..and a bit of magic. All connecting to nature itself... Much being a part of it.
But I will need to try and simpllfy it in the sheet or maybe add extra elements that gave me those ideas...more so... Help build this character.

Let's see which route to take.

Once again.... Thank you so much.

Atatatata... Maaan.. Every iteration of this thing just kept getting more Evil and more Unstoppable.
How's it gonna be defeated I wonder :open_mouth:

Bro you gave me goosebumps LOL

But in a way ... i'm glad it's giving you a feeling of sorts.

You know what ... it cannot be defeated. It's the dark side of nature itself. Unless or only if the wrong ( done by mankind ) can be reversed... Then yes ... "STOPPABLE" but not defeated.

This is exactly why i took on this piece. It just had to have a message.

It really gets your message across. Awesome Work!

Your encouragement means a lot <3
Thank you so much man \m/

Pressure is on .. and i hope to do the best i can with the final image.

Cheers haha :beers:

Don't worry that was just (bad) joke ^^
Although...yes I did it too many times in the past...we're both wise men of course now xD

LOLL XD omg XD

But i'm still making stupid mistakes though XD
don't know when will i ever learn.
Hopefully in due time.

But yes ..... i'm trying to be patient .. taking some time off .. so that my mind is cleared.

Don't tell me about it...mine are huge mistakes sometimes (and sometimes I only notice them on/after deadline xD)

hahahahah XD
I swear that is crazy XD

However .. come to think of it though ... it does happen with a lot of artists out there.

Let it be ... we're with you all the way :beers:

Nev, watching this come together has been a joy buddy. Its so clean and direct, so vivid and detailed. Something near impossible for me to ever achieve with my loose and crazy style, which makes it all the more enjoyable to see. The whole atmosphere is frightening. This just keeps getting better an better. The hands are just brilliant. I saw an earlier post with a human soul being wrenched out, which was epic. Is it still there? If it is apologies, its just harder to see now. I can kind of make out a human object but its not clear to me. But apart from that your work is inspirational buddy.

Bro.. Thank you so very much for your words. Emotion is really important for me. And it has to be based on something.. Whether bad or good. I hope that this piece helps people understand somehow... What is currently happening in this world.

Dont ever think that you can't achieve something.
Once you put your mind to it.. Things will fall into place... Everything will be at your fingertips.

For me.. even now... I'm still learning. So much to explore. It's crazy.
We're all in the same boat bro.

As for the soul element....thank you for pointing it out. I will fix it immediately!
I was too caught up with so many things... Didn't notice it until now.

Bless you Arron! 🍻🧡And have the most amazing New Year!🎉✨⭐
Thanks again!

I've been lurking in your thread, you've put a lot of work in this and it shows. I can't wait to see how it ll turns out. I'm more into concept art than illustration, so I'm looking forward to your design sheet :D. Keep at it man!
