The remnant of the lost world.

Some test sketches, exploring what the character may look like:

Welcome to the ArtWar.

I like that first design with the scythe, always a fun weapon choice that allows for some really neat illustrations.

What is your super power going to be for this character?

Great start here! Like the roughness and suggested detail. I have a hard time starting this way so always in awe a bit when others just do it. Looks like you already have a solid idea in mind though, since these almost all look the same with only minor differences. Try finding a way of making this thing stand out designwise from other stuff that's already been done and you're off to something amazing! All the best and good luck!
Cheers

It's been quite a hectic and busy holiday season! I am still determined to complete this even if I don't meet the deadline.

Did some more design iterations!

This is awesome!!

Thank you everyone! I plan on going B for my more defined iterations. I think the rugged look of the character suits how I envisioned her.

Some more iterations based on the design that I liked.

I'm trying to think more about the purpose of the character. Since remnant means 'remainder', is the character a remainder of evil? Or some sort of vestige? Does her power lie in her existence?

I decided to go more towards a 'primal' look because it fits in with the idea that this is a remainder of something.

A primal villain, one that has roamed the earth since dawn of mankind.

awesome progress! you plan on bringing everything up a notch? some areas are still preeetty rough - if you do tho try to keep strong focal points (face, scythe)! References might help, too. All in all I really like the direction you went in and the color palette you chose.

@hellwigart I'm pretty happy with how it turned out at the minute. I agree that I would need to spend some more time on the sheet to make it 'less rough'. Granted I haven't had the most time to work on this as I'm currently working on a masters in tech art.

First pass of the illustration, pretty happy of the pose and colors so far.

Looking good so far!

Update on Illustration:

What is the most primal thing? Fire. What if her superpower was to be able to unleash volcanic energy channeled through her scythe? Primal bad ass.

Took it as far as I could!

innocent 2019-01-13 10:15:31 UTC #16

Fresh painterly style overall, it goes super well with your character!

shrk 2019-01-13 17:18:58 UTC #17

Thank you I too think it works in a way!
