So because the theme is so vast and unspecific, I don't clearly know yet what exactly I want to do. The only thing I settled for is the "fire" theme.
I am exploring some varied ideas of where I could go with this in the form of thumbs.

Some pretty interesting ideas! Nice work! Can't wait to see more! :smile:

Still trying to figure out what I want to do, but this time more from an illustration and composition standpoint. So again, super rough thumbs just to get my brain working!

Many of these are really good lol
If I were to choose 3 I think work the best, probably 2, 3 and 9. Although it depends on the nature and personality of the character themselves, they look dynamic and gestural to me

Thank you!
I'm personally most drawn to the second one. Now it's back to figuring out the design some more :smile:

Wow! All the thumbnails look so amazingly good!! One thing's for sure you can't go wrong!
I love all the ones on the first row if that can help you choose!
Awesome work! :smile:

Your character design skills are top-notch! Every one of the black and white concepts on the first sheet feels like it could be developed into an awesome game character. All the ones that look like fire dancers could end up great.

These designs remind me of Soul Calibur.

For the thumbs, I am a fan of 1, 9, and 12.

Alright, so starting to settle on the Fire Hoola Hoop lady direction! Some exploration :smile:

They're all so cool! I'm a big fan of the X one, n°1, and the design of n°8 ! Great work!

Aaaaand some more exploration!
Planning some more rendered iterations next and also begin mapping out the illustration

Wow!! * ^ *
They're all so beautiful! Do you have a favorite yet? I love B, D and E if that can help somehow!
Really great work!!

Thank you! I'm leaning mostly towards B right now too, but will have to see where it evolves as I start working on it in more detail ^^

You're welcome! B is really cool! Curious to see how it'll evolve! :smile:
Good luck!!

Would be B for me too. And I do really love the rainbow fire

12 days later

Ooops, falling behind a bit, but I think I'm set with the designing part now, onto illustrating! Quickly! xD

Amazing work!! Can't wait to see the illustration!! :smiley:

That lava and stone work on the character is really really good, looking forward to seeing what you do with it!

No time to dilly dally with any more explorations, just using my ideas from the thumbs I already did and placing the illustration together!
I'm putting high importance on silhouette and the dynamic feel for this
