Yeah you never know, sometimes we just have that last minute idea that changes everything and makes it even better!!

[michaelmuellerart]

Finally able to update again with commissions out of the way for a breath, polishing up my completed character sheet and I'll be pumping out some full illustration ideas because I'm eager to get working on that as well.

[rgdraw]

Seriously, this is so good!
Great work !

[MODOF]

how does a human come up with shapes this good?! wut. xD good stuff man.

[kriros]

Nice job !

[mr_dessin]

Still mesmerized by your weaponery !!!
I know this probably won't work...but that would be nice if we see your baldes (& complete) under your character (instead of your blades cut at the middle).
But that is just a small detail ^^

[michaelmuellerart]

@rgdraw @kriros Thank you guys!
@MODOF lol thanks, the key is to noodle away until you don't completely hate it haha

@mr_dessin I totally agree, I don't love the way I have it arranged yet and will for sure try something a little more interesting, good looking out!

[rgdraw]

You're welcome!
And I second the noodling part x)

[MODOF]

and i second the hating part. xD

[krizevil]

Great concept and sick weapon : )

[gurzy]

ooh good stuff, hope to see where you take this further

Having berserker flashbacks
Love the second sword to the right

[michaelmuellerart]

Welp I think it's about time I stop neglecting to post updates on my final lol Last few weeks have not been the easiest to find time to work on this properly, but I've got the next few days to polish everything up as it's all pretty loosey goosey still and a lot of sketchy areas because I did some backtracking to work out the composition and pose a little more towards what it needed. But here is what the current state of my final looks like, ty for any thoughts and feedback and Happy new year to everyone.

[rgdraw]

You're back!!!!!!!
And it looks awesome!!!

[aegilrod]

Looking great! reminds me a lot of Legacy of Kain

[michaelmuellerart]

Well hearing that the deadline got extended a few days is definitely nice, while I can certainly push to finish in time I'll gladly take a few extra days to make sure everything is where it needs to be. So for now here is an updated step. Keep working hard everyone.

[mr_dessin]

You should push even more on the blood ^^ (also put some more on canvas, on corner (especially upper right one) and why not a head or something (hand/arm) to add some depth to it ?)
Just what I think...Totally understand if you don't have time for all of these corrections.

And same like @aeguilrod said haha

[michaelmuellerart]

@mr_dessin Yeah the blood is getting more attention, most things are going to get another pass over since time allows. I'm not super sure about adding in anything like other people or limbs, the current composition doesn't really support it and I don't want to overcrowd the image with too much visual noise, since the focus is meant to be the character and their powers. But I will try it and see if something like that does actually work, ty for the suggestions as always.

[michaelmuellerart]

The end is finally here! This is the final version of my submission, I already updated my initial post and attempted to submit it, but like plenty of others that didn't work. So here's hoping it all works out regardless, and wishing all the best to everyone who worked so hard on their submissions. I know a number of people decided to do some last minute overhauls of their illustration and to them I hope you have enough coffee and will power to muscle through to the final seconds.

It has been a fun experience working on this and seeing so many others putting in hard work and exploring so many creative and inventive ideas that I would never have been able to come up with.

Thanks to CubeBrush for making this whole event possible for all of us and a good luck to everyone else one more time!

[rgdraw]

Really nice! Congrats on finishing you're entry, amazing work
