ART WAR 3 | 2D | Villains | Gannon | skullguzma

[skullguzma]

Did some different color options... The first one has the best contrast, but is a little too monochrome for my liking, so i’ll screw around a little more with it.

[Tesat]

I like the first one better, maybe transfer some of the colors from light blue over to dark

[brohawx]

Throw flecks of blue in that monochrome one and we have a deal! j/k But for the sake of villainy you have a tough choice. Great development to scroll though too.

[skullguzma]

Haven’t updated his design yet, just tweaked the composition on the final illustration.

[skullguzma]

I did some thinking, and did a few changes. I kind of wanted to have a more direct link between him and the ice dragon, as well as some asymmetrical elements. I wanted a more sleek look to him.

[rgdraw]

Nice! He feel a lot more villain now, great work

[sparksofdawn]

Great changes, the floating ice shards (I assume) are a nice touch ^^ I feel like he does have some dragon aspects about his look as well (in the vein of the polymorphic dragon aspects from Warcraft or Sleeping beauty (that's an example combination I never imagined hearing, let alone writing personally :D)

[skullguzma]

I’ve got two different compositions for a final illustration, because the last one felt a little too energetic for this newer iteration of him... choices choices. The top one is kind of a hero vs villain analogy, where the dragon has a lion in its jaws (A heroic animal, i’ll add lion motif’s to the ‘hero’ character to make a clear link, and symbolize the soon to be defeat of said character.)

The bottom one is just “Look at me showing off my ice dragon isn’t he cool?”

[rgdraw]

Thie first one is great!
You can feel the domination he has over his opponent and that's badass!

[sanguine]

I'm liking this new dragon

[skullguzma]

What i’m going for in this composition is kind of like that transition from cutscene to gameplay sort of... feel i guess.

[MODOF]

wow! this illustration is coming along nicely! lovin it~ <3

[skullguzma]

I captured these images with a potato, so forgive the quality, but i’m doing that thing where my ADD goes into full swing and I start getting very rough ideas about colors.

[skullguzma]

Makes i don’t know sound
Presented without comment because it’s 3am and i don’t have a smart or insightful comment at the moment.

[skullguzma]

It’s not supposed to be flipped, but that’s the way I ended up saving it. Again, I am up at a time no person should be up, so intelligent or insightful comments from me are not available right now.

[mr_dessin]

Looking good whatever you choose ^^
Keep it up...Don't stop...the dragon ! haha

[skullguzma]

I had a little thought, I was like, I could really play around with perspective to get a composition that would show the detail of his face. So, while in the process of doing that, I sort of re worked his “power”.
in the newer version, the backstory behind his power comes from a parasitic demonic entity. He is basically granted superhuman abilities as long as he keeps the demonic entity fed with blood, or else it will consume him instead. The setting is sorta kinda western.

I also have been working on the other comp too, but i’m a bit more partial to the newer one.

[skullguzma]

Been working on some stuff for the concept sheet! (Not final lines or colors)

[rgdraw]

Nice! I like the current colors it works well with the character

[cedricgo]

You went through so many changes since the beginning XD That's actually really inspiring to see you not being afraid to just change course when you feel like you have a better idea. Let's see if this last concept will survive til the end

Keep it up!
