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

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.

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

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

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!

Update: Working on the background, laying in the texture before moving to the characters.

that is a fun perspective wow! I bet this is gonna look great when its finished; such a naughty character haha

Yeah I also love the more comical approach this piece has haha it works really well

Update: Started putting in detail and texture on the Earth Elemental.

Update: Added glowing bits, and more details. counting it down now, 14 hours to go!

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.

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!
