@yaThank you so much for your support

Small update, working mostly on the right arm still need work on the hand. Made a bit of tweaks on the sky the golems and the horn.

Amazing artwork and design! wow! I saw your progress with this character, you really made some intelligent choices, it's very well constructed and it does represent the earth faction very well, I am impressed! Well done!!

[nesokaiyoh]

Ahh good job it's looking so good! I still can barely tell the golems and the trees though, if you squint your eyes they really do get lost in the foliage. Maybe because they move faster they don't need so much green on them? They will stand out more will less green!

[Oceane_Roh]

@juliapires.jp98 Thank you so much I'm glad you like it . But I wasn't alone I've received great advices
@nesokaiyoh Thank's ! Yes you're definitely right, this could be a nice solution and justification.

[Oceane_Roh]

I am not 100% sell with the format of my painting so I've made these very rough attempts.
The #4 is my actual format, what do you think ?

[darthmorpho]

I think, the 1 cropping is better (it gives enough air for creature). Maybe, it also needs little more space from sides. You can copy all your merged layers and try do deform some details (scaling,distorting, rotating, even wrapping) to find best solutions for hand)) Keep going on) your results are amazing)

[Oceane_Roh]

Thank you so much for your comment !
I'm still not sure which kind of forma I want to use for the definitive version. Giving a lot of air is cool for the creature and the design, but a very cropped format like the 5 add a lot of power and focus. That's so hard to choose :'c

[darthmorpho]

You can look from different angles (mirror image or rotate it) and in much smaller size. smth like this
and then decide )

[nesokaiyoh]

Higher ratios work really work for cinematic scenes, and even more so when you want a sense of scale. Most of the time I use ratios like 1.85:1 or even 2.35:1 for big environmental shots. I would choose one of the longer ones personally, like 5 but it'll work better if the composition itself is suited for something like that. 5 also cuts out part of the creature, meaning it's too big to fit on screen. and this gives again, that sense of scale that something like this would need - I'd mess around with the perspective of that creature even more so if you want to go in this direction (but not necessary)

[Oceane_Roh]

@darthmorpho Yes thanks that's a really great tips
@nesokaiyoh yeah it make a lot of sense, and I was thinking the same

I haven't picked a very specific format, just went with my eye and I think I found something well suiting (2.38:1 if you are interested). Otherwise I just kept refined my illustration, I do hope the render of the golems is going on the right direction.
I also need post prod to adjust the overall light/shadow/contrast etc

[caffeinatedbrushes]

Since you added the atmospheric perspective it's looking more dynamic. His hand feels like it's coming towards me because of that. I'm scared this guy is gonna crush me

[Oceane_Roh]

Thanks I'm glad you like it
That's the kind of feeling I'm aiming for

[hendrix.simon]

Really beautiful
I noticed just now that the thing on his head is a horn and someone is blowing it! Amazing!

[Sergei_Pakhomov]

Very beatiful work!

[cedricgo]

[Oceane_Roh]
