Hi,
Going off of your initial statement I think the fantasy theme fits better, Where you thinking of a more of a creature or more along the lines of a beast master (the salesman for the trading of souls). A sci fi soul trader with its own army could be pretty cool.
Out of the newer designs I like the giantess description.
Enjoy the exploration!
Hey,
Oh yes, I really think you're right on the point, that fantasy theme suits better here.
Even my supposed "sci-fi" corner is not really one ^^' (more a mix of different eras...)
Right now I'm working on doing some different sketches for the Barbarian...and I maybe we'll stay with her (if she does not dissapoint me, of course haha).
But yes the Giantess could be nice (and others...the choice was hard to make, for sure).
I really do enjoy too the Chaos Knight and Pure Evil Child...but I can't find any good thing to do for an illustration (or not enough skilled to try out...hum...).
I can’t explain why, but I like the silhouette of #5, there’s just enough contrast in it for it to be easy to read. She’s got a nice triangular composition, which creates contrast between her upper and lower half. , and essentially draws you towards her head (Focal point) as a result.
I agree with @skullguzma about the silhouette. but i think as you said to combine your favorites would be really cool! they defiantly stand out!
@skullguzma & @Gil_Ascher & @michaelmuellerart Thank you so much for your feedback !!!
And I agreed #5 was the best...but it was still missing some things.
oh i love the colors of the first (purple&red) fork looks awesome! and the two designs that you chose work really well!
Thank you very much @Gil_Ascher !
To be honest, I'm still undecided...for colours and even what character to choose from.
Here is a variation from second design (I didn't like the upper body/face etc...and weapon changes).
Nice work on this, that design definitely packs a punch. That weapon is crazy too haha love it.
awesome concept, the colors really work and her scars are so badass!
cool asymmetrical design on the final character! also, i like the previous weapon design for barbarian though. i think that the shape of the blade is stronger in the previous iteration. currently, the shapes seem less cohesive if that makes sense. keep up the good work, though! 
i like what im seeing so far.
@michaelmuellerart & @sanguine Thank you so much !
@MODOF I thought about it too (especially the fork part becoming...not easy to read what it is...). Maybe I'll do a fork/(giant)shield for the upper part, and it will be detachable with the spear part, with a chain or something...or (indestructible) evil hair ? haha
I think the flow will be better with hair (but why not putting some small link chains here and there, we'll see !)
But the spear part, I really like it and will keep it, I have a Monster hunter (video game) vibe with it (despite I've never played any).
Hi @mr_dessin! I see you've been really busy - so many ideas (which is something that I'm lacking - usually I have one idea and I stick with it - more or less). And now you have really badass character (that weapon could cut off dragon's head!). Great work - keep it up!
Regards
Jonatan
Hi again @jonatan-moonchild !
Well you know...those who have too much ideas are also having bad times on previous Art Wars...@skullguzma won't contradict my point at least xD
To be honest my previous Art War 2 was bad...probably because I wanted to stick to my first idea...
Anyways we all have our own methods to create, and that's the part of fun too.
Some tweaks here and there...and new stuffs (added some golds, changing her boot and her left feet to monster shape with golden claws...oh and yeah a big evil shield with crazy horns).
So the shield could also be use as a weapon (the sort of leaf in the shield is from a previous fight...her only defeat with an original god).
Her blood is also a weapon, because it's poisonous...she usually cut herself with her weapon for good reasons...
She is actually in berserker mode, will do normal mode besides and her back side.
@MODOF I forget to tell you something about the "non-cohesive shape for the spear", it is also because of her Barbarian look, I wanted something very raw, and actually it match not too bad with my style, for once ^^
@mr_dessin alright man. that makes sense thematically. if you can make it work in the illustration, im all for it! i cant wait to see how it turns out.
Thanks @MODOF !!!
Can't wait too haha
I already have some ideas for illustration thumbnails...but I need tons of them to decide ...or be even more confused on which one to choose ^^'
At worst I will start 2 or 3 (or more) rough illustrations before choosing the best of all.
sounds like a plan! i wonder what badass things youll show us with this character.
Also...are we allowed to put our hero/villain on backside view for illustration (aka my A thumbnails), @Acolet @malcom @ESL @cedricgo
Thanks by advance for the response !
Yes you can.
