Unfortunatly I don't have time to do many options, yet it's really fun to be here anyway

Nice! He looks so badas!
I like the red cape, it gives a nice contrast to the whole piece!

Thank you! Now I really have to try to make illustration with this guy, he doesn't looks hopeless for me so far

Tesat 2018-12-17 20:16:22 UTC #6

I feel you, but looking good so far

rgdraw 2018-12-17 20:19:09 UTC #7

I'm sure you can do it!
And I can't wait to see that!

Here I am and some update. Nothing too dynamic, but I'm happy with composition more or less. Let's see what I can do with it

rgdraw 2018-12-22 18:29:17 UTC #9

Not super dynamic it's true, but he looks very dominant and strong, so I gues it works great!

mr_dessin 2018-12-22 18:58:43 UTC #10

No need to be dynamic if you can create great atmosphere !
It's already looking very good.

He's looking really nice! Very cool mood in the illustration, my only suggestion would be to try out moving him (with the flag behind him) to the right as a lot of the right portion feels a little underused.

Interesting choice to have the scene set at night, I'm imagining them as like an undead Roman army, might be cool to have torch lights and maybe some fire arrows coming form the back? Super cool idea!

@rgdraw Thank you! I'll try to do my best
@mr_dessin Thanks!
@sparksofdawn Thank you for your suggestion! I think the problem is not only that he is on the left, but he also looking to the left. I should play with his and flags placement and size
@barrysaraiva17 Torches are great idea, thank you!

rgdraw 2018-12-23 11:18:30 UTC #14

You're welcome!
You can do this!!

And some update

engineered 2019-01-09 09:11:55 UTC #16

Hey everyone! It's cool that deadline was extended, maybe I'll have time to finish my work.
So... I've decided to move big flag to make silhouette of character reads better. And after I replaced the flag with siege tower just for fun. I also changed character's pose a bit, I'm happy with him now, yet maybe those ribbons around his invisible arms look to noisy.
Surely it's not a perfect illustration at all, yet it perfectly brought me out of my comfort zone, so I'm very happy that I've join the contest! Cheers

Really nice! Great progress on this!
