I really like 2 and 6, but they almost feel more like lightning or fire

Sweet ideas. artwithtomjames has a point though. I don't see the Earth element associated with these yet, but that should be easy to fix. 2 and 7 stand out to me.

Thx dudes, yeah you're right, the light weight an somehow dexterity looking might suggest ligthing. But I think this is manageable by playing with colors, textures, and maybe redefine some shapes. 2 and 7 sounds good to me too.

sweet dude 1 definitely feels the most earthy, its making me think hindu temple :3

Nice thumbnails, i agree with the choices.

Yes it is, I didn't share my ref, and didn't talk much about, I'm heading for a khmer inspiration, that's why there's some hinduism and south eastern asian influence :). Glad you noticed it. 1 is definitely the most earthy and I'm afraid maybe too cliché

The way the multiple forearms come off that ring on the elbow is so damn cool

br00dley 2020-01-10 20:01:31 UTC #10

I like 3, has an intimidating presence.

Second one. The arms holding knives that make a circle is genius.

tearoa 2020-01-13 01:22:05 UTC #12

Thx for all your advices, that inspired me some ideas.
A little update on the design, I changed the blades shapes to match the earth emblem.
Not definitive but I think I'm getting somewhere I like.

Nice sketch. If he's gonna have a bare chest maybe you can add some tattoos there

josierichmond 2020-01-15 06:53:10 UTC #14

The design is looking really nice! 1, 2, and 3 were my favourites of your original silhouettes.

(PS: I really love your sketching style!)

tearoa 2020-01-26 17:09:54 UTC #15

Goddamnit. Time flies. Didn't really had the time to advance on this.
Well I might not push the concept futher, so I think I'll start the illustration and continue on defining the idea at the same time.

The global idea is: as he got some sort of masonry trowels in each hands he might be able to construct wall very fast.
(just kidding... maybe not completely)

He's already very complex in design so I think pushing for the final piece would be wise. It's not purely about the concept after all, and you can always add more or take from it while you're painting the final thing!

tearoa 2020-01-28 01:42:11 UTC #17

Wise words have been spoken. So beginning something.

abdelkarim.guessous 2020-02-01 09:51:43 UTC #18

Need to see this done xd

tearoa 2020-02-02 02:04:13 UTC #19

I don't know if this will get somewhere, still I'll try to make it through.

Sorry folks, this is a kinda rushed submission, I kinda get the dead line wrong and messed up my planning a lot, won't do the same mistake next time. Still had a lot of fun participating in this contest.
Here's my final submission for this artwar.

Cheers, and thank you all for the support.
