Now trying to make sense of the silhoutte. Probably going for more traditional human-like golem but with some of the shapes from previous study.

@veesketch Thanks for the reply! Glad you liked ther idea!

@Oceane_Roh Thanks! Man, that's a cool idea about a sand worm, I haven't even thought about it this way.

Hey, i like this dude. It will be great on illustration, i think)) In my opinion 1 and 5 are best.

Oceane_Roh 2020-01-12 22:05:48 UTC #10

You're welcome ! (I'm a girl btw). I like your new sketches, the shapes are really cool ! I especially love the 4 and 5

@greckijjmarik69 Thanks! I hope it'll be great, yeah -)

@Oceane_Roh Sorry, "man" was more of an exclamation -) Yeah, I also like #5, but it seems too thin and not imposing enough.

I think this is really cool
they remind me of the colossi from Shadow of the Colossus ^.^

Thanks! I'm not familiar with the game - but I've looked it up and I see what you mean -)

Second round of the silhoutte studies. I kind of know where I'm going at this point, but still trying to find some shapes that I like.

arhityom 2020-01-14 20:14:24 UTC #15

Third round of silhouette studies. Working out main ideas.

arhityom 2020-01-16 18:51:14 UTC #16

So here's my final conscept sketch. Took pretty much the second silhoutte from the last round and added onto it some details from others that I found interesting. As it is right now - I think it's a bit overdone on the details - but that's something i'll try to balance in the illustration, depending on composition.

Man this looks awesome as hell, like a cage

arhityom 2020-01-16 19:16:19 UTC #18

Thanks! -) Glad that it reads like that. I wanted it to look like some sort of skeletal cage thing.

veesketch 2020-01-17 05:19:48 UTC #19

Loving the direction you're taking this in! The cage skeleton and floating masks are really cool!

arhityom 2020-01-18 19:54:52 UTC #20

Thank you! I tried to mix some of the more interesting sketches into the final design. -)

arhityom 2020-01-19 19:35:31 UTC #21

Working out some thumbnails for the illustration.

arhityom 2020-01-23 15:55:43 UTC #22

So here's the first color pass. Decided to go with pretty narrow color palette - mostly earthy-brown and muddy to go with the theme, inspired partly by cave paintings with that dull red and ochre combo.

greckijjmarik69 2020-01-26 13:02:15 UTC #23

Looks cool, man))

arhityom 2020-01-26 13:16:25 UTC #24

Thanks, man -)

nesokaiyoh 2020-01-26 17:28:38 UTC #25

Ahh this is amazing, terrifying even

arhityom 2020-01-26 19:30:42 UTC #26

Thanks! Makes me really glad that it gets an emotion across -)
