Composition #2 - Double Forearm Block

Liked the idea of the Elemental being on the defense, while devastating its enemies! So he's here in a back stance, in a double forearm block, while planting his enemy into the earth!

Composition #3 - Axe Kick

Last Composition idea for the evening, the Jumping Axe Kick! Played around with doing just a standing Axe Kick, or the Jumping Axe Kick... I may do a standing one tomorrow. other ideas are a Spin Hook Kick, Stomping Front Kick or a Tornado Kick.

I streamed all of these concepts via my Twitch stream also. https://www.twitch.tv/evrart

Playing around with more composition ideas. Kinda like the stomping on his foes in the foreground so far... though not quite as epic as i'd like it yet.

Incorporating some perspective in the piece and foreshortening on the character will help scale and epicness, if that's what you're struggling with. Although it's getting nearer the deadline so I'd suggest going with one at this point and working over the sketch if you're still not happy

Echo_Seven_Studio 2020-01-27 22:17:27 UTC #9

Yeah, i'm being indecisive on which pose to put him in... but there's so many fun ideas for this character! lol! It wouldn't be fun if I wasn't flirting with the deadline, it will be done. This is the way.

nesokaiyoh 2020-01-28 01:23:19 UTC #10

Lol you do have a point I suppose, and I shouldn't say anything I made more than 18 thumbnails in the end for my final piece xDD

Echo_Seven_Studio 2020-01-28 03:08:41 UTC #11

Lol repetition is good, helps figure out what is working and what isn't. Narrowing down the final comp though! My TKD Instructor, mentioned a rising uppercut would go well with this particular character... so of course I gave it a go. I like it! I may change it to a more downward looking at them coming up view though. Add more Drama and Intensity!

I can't imagine the paint that poor person is going through, being literally knocked through the bottom of the jaw with actual literal stone

Might hurt in the morning

ahahahahah might hurt a little

Echo_Seven_Studio 2020-02-01 01:14:44 UTC #14

Hahaha Yes! It may or may really hurt a lot! Lots of reconstructive surgery in that poor souls future for sure! will probably need to start a GoFundMe to cover the medical bills...

Update: Moved the perspective up, I'm really liking how this is coming out! Time to refine, color and polish for the final! 8 days to go!

nesokaiyoh 2020-02-03 15:45:21 UTC #18

Annnnnnnd Time!!! Added Trees to make it look like he was being hit up and out of the treeline. I had too much fun working on this, its a very interesting character I will have to do more with him later. Thank you all for the feedback, and comments.

nesokaiyoh 2020-02-09 01:44:08 UTC #24

Oh no that poor kid xD I;m finding the texture of your rock dude really interesting by the way, almost reminds me of old school pokemon games sorta

Looking good!
