I'm for the 1 or 4 but i think i will put both together to create something better...

excellent concepts! Looking forward to seeing where you take this!

@kriros os Ohhh! Amazing exploration on silhouettes! I also love how you started fleshing out ideas of her outfit and overall aesthetics (that's something I found myself struggling with!).
If I may ask, could you check out my concept to give me some advice regarding that issue!?
I would be really grateful!

I really appreciated you comment.Well, looking at your draw i think that your start is good, i like your stile, but the thing you have to do to improve your character design, it's to put in it element that can reminde you to something you want to comunicate to the people.
If you see i put varius elements that remind to dragons, anfibious, fish, warriors, crown ecc... al that stuff give information about the natur of the character it self, they tell a story to the one is watching it.
Hope my adivice will help improve you, good luck!

so cool, nice bunch of designs and exploration already!


Here it's the combination between the 1 and 4, i combined some elements and i made a costume variation of it.
My favorite one is the 1, i hink is more unique, but the number 2 and the 4 are grate two.
Let me know what your favourite one ! :smile:

so gorgeous! my fav is 1 character and 4 weapon (this little crystals unite trident shape )

Tank you ! I will try the look

I like the weapon designs in 1, 2, and 4, and the costume in 5.

@kriros
Hey man! I see you have been hard at work!
Regarding costumes, I really like 5! Maybe its because it is way different from the rest, but I get that feeling of royalty coming from it, like bigger and strong silhouette, the fact that water itself wraps around her to give her the dress she needs gives out a powerful vibe, fitting for a Queen!
But I also like scaled bodysuit on 3, very alluring!
Regarding heads, I think 2 is the best, cause its more simplistic, and not as noisy in terms of design regarding dragon's jaw, just a few big teeth, instead of large portion of them, that just becomes distracting on all other options.
But about dragon heads on her, my favorite is 4, and i cant explain why :smiley:
Good stuff mate! Keep up the good work! (and I updated my thread as well :wink: )

Thank you so much for your support ! You give me good ideas, I will do my best :wink:


Here is the final design choose with the colors variation, i think i will take the 3rd one

@kriros
Amazing! I love how you implemented water as a part of her dress!
And amazing choice with 3, I completely agree, more white colored elements = more royal and prestige vibe! I like it very much, keep up the good work!
I am so sorry to ghost out on this challange for the week, cause its time for exams, and Im barely prepared!

I think colour scheme 3 is the strongest, but I'd put a really strong contrasting colour on the fin parts of her dress, maybe orange or something.

Thank you man ! I really appreciate you feedback, i hope you will come back soon you are doing a good job, keep focus on :muscle:
