@gurzy Cheers! I think they all work quite well, actually looked at colour theory this year haha.
@edenriquebq I do like the yellow, its so dominating and bold.

So hard to make a decision now...

Some poses for the final illustration, there's a few I like but 11, 9 and 7 are top picks.

Initial Sketch and pose.

Just a color comment, Skeletor is awesome, and I personally like 5, but the more I look around these forums I think I just like black white and red together.

sparksofdawn 2018-12-12 07:09:49 UTC #25

Tough choice ^^ I'm a little late to the party but 2, 3 and 5 look the most intriguing to me. I like the orange more than the yellow as an accent color (but I just like orange and black, so I'm biased). Skeletor, as others have already said, works well. 5 is cool and has a nice distribution of the red... hmm, ok, I can't pick a favorite, but I'd go with 5 just for the unique factor (it differentiates from Skeletor and I think fits better with your idea that the orange one). I'm looking forward to what you choose

If I'm correct there is also (dark) green on number 5 ^^
And the white here tend to lean towards blue (a small tint).

But I do agree with you, black white and red look very villainy together...and that's why I have hard times finding my colours for my own character (if I put black & white (for instance), my shark will look like a whale instead of a shark xD).
Sorry for the off topic Brodley ^^'

I like this one, because it has a nice asymetric design on his chest. I'd like to see some of this asymetrical feature on your final concept.

PeterH 2018-12-12 20:12:55 UTC #28

Wow... no kidding on those colors, you have made me realize just how bad the color calibration is on the monitor I was initially looking at these with, thanks!

mr_dessin 2018-12-12 22:36:16 UTC #29

Glad to help you @PeterH !

br00dley 2018-12-15 12:15:18 UTC #30

@mr_dessin your right with the dark green and monitor setting, I have a couple screen so i can see what they look like with different setting but its a proper pain to calibrate when I'm constantly jumping between games, films and drawing. haha

@PeterH Black and red just works so well, my old PC build colour scheme haha. I think I favour 2 due to it being close to my current colour build. Might push it towards a copper colour for the high lights. But still with the darker black and grey theme.

@sparksofdawn Think the orange, yellow and red are more villain colours as well. 1 looks nice but its to heroic for this design. I will try painting in mono and then add the colours in again to see what they look like.

@seekula Thanks, i think the symmetry backs to futuristic Utopian theme but i wanted to bring some asymmetry into the design to push the villain theme.

br00dley 2018-12-15 14:11:59 UTC #31

Touched up the lines a bit to reflect design more and base underlay down.

Hope you will keep the lineart, it's really interesting. An illustration with Harry Clarke's vibe can be so neat with your character.

br00dley 2018-12-19 18:00:43 UTC #33

Not seen his work before, I really like his use of patterns within his forms.
We will see about the line work haha if i can get it to work it would be nice to leave in.

br00dley 2018-12-21 16:32:57 UTC #34

Painting so far.

br00dley 2018-12-30 12:57:52 UTC #35

Post holiday update, decided to move the hood back to show off the mask and a little bit of the dreads. think i need to make a bit of a fix for his right shoulder and might add the tail of the dreads swinging behind him. Not too much time left so time to knuckle down.

mr_dessin 2018-12-30 16:49:30 UTC #36

Deadline has been extended 1 week more ^^ (January 13th instead of 6th).

It is getting better and better, good luck !

br00dley 2019-01-07 17:36:16 UTC #37

Starting to add some colour.

br00dley 2019-01-11 15:12:52 UTC #38

I've brought the design back to the original coloured sketch I did and I'm pretty pleased with Lorenimity overall.

I think I'm done for Art Wars 3 (I will now instantly see a load of mistakes after uploading...), A lot of progress from last years entry but I've got some things I want to work on for next year. Mainly backgrounds and being more efficient when painting. I wish everyone good luck and its been super fun.
