My element choice is WATER - attacking
ARTWAR 4 FINAL SUBMISSION
Jan 19, '20
Feb 8, '20
So - I want my character to be a Human-Octopus Hybrid (like Ursula from The Little Mermaid!).
She is a daughter of Sea Goddess and a Kraken. She was chained for a long time by people, who was afraid of what she could become, but she broke free, full of anger and hatred of people.
I want to show her as strong, giantic and powerful creature. No need for an additional weapon, no clothes and no sexualization of the body.
I guess there is not much time left so I need to speed up!
Here are some first fast sketches.
Feedback is very welcome!
Soo, I was thinking about design of this character and made more raw sketches on the paper, so I'm close to the final look of her. I'm going to clean them up later and post here, but as the character sheet is no needed I want to focus on main illustration's presentation.
Now I came with little update of an idea of the illustration. I pushed my propositions more and chose the one I liked the most - the first one.
I've chosen it because I like the composition of main character on the left and destruction she's making on the right. I think that tentacles can help to make a path for eyes to read the illustration. I want to show her anger and power so I will try to push that pose more.
Here's an update 
Oooh and I thought that her gills could be in a shape of the emblem! Does that count? 
I know my sketches are quite messy, but still - C&C are welcome!
Cool concept, I'm a water meber too ! I really like your composition.
Quick update - I was so busy this week, didn't do much about ArtWar.
I sat today to clean the lines and make some fast color propositions.
I lean toward A and D. What do you think?
Very hard to pick. I think C and D are cool! But A does have a very dramatic look to it which I guess could work well if you want to make her really scary and threatening.
Hello! wow so hyped to see the final one haha, my fav is the A!
Good luck !
@cedricgo
Thank you for help! Yes, my purpose is to show her as a scary creature, so A could be nice, yup!
@maxtronaute
Glad you like it! Thanks!
Some update.
I chose D but I want to push sky more into sunset like in the A proposition (but not that strong).
I think D can give some misty, marine atmosphere and strong backlight can help define silhouettes of the objects.
Aaa clock is ticking! :<
Update!
And... I've changed color palette. I just felt that it's missing some powerful atmosphere and I liked that sunset from previous color proposition. So, I pushed it more to that dramatic sunset vibe and I thought that can look well and show some power.
Now I'm trying to render all stuff.
What do you think?
Hope you all will be on time with your work!
Looks pretty solid, man. I think you just need to continue working on the elements surrounding your champion. If you want to, maybe add some people being thrown around by the tentacles and crashing waves. Make sure there's lots of splash particles caused by the waves to push the force of nature. Can't wait to see it complete.
Thank you very much! Yes! I'll put splashes everywhere 
Nice idea to put people, it will help to highlight that scale, I will try to put them in appropriate places.
Next update
Trying to render all stuff around and plan colors and light of the water.
Another update!
Did a detailing of the water, made little accesories to destroyed ship on the right, added some people (lol) and stuff in the water like ropes and also rendered those tentacles more.
Now I plan to make sky more attractive (add some clouds, highlights etc.) and water drops from tentacles and character to show the movement.
Also at the end - final touches, color dodge, shadows, little blur, color fix, ughh I hope I will manage in time >.<
Thanks for the likes and support!
