@j.plounevez Oh you don't have to apologize I haven't think of it in a negative way at all !
@mikean1012 ahah thank you so much ! I need to say I had completely forgot this scene. What an epic battle !
@Serfer Yes sure you can comment ! It is very welcome. And no you are right, I have noticed the problem with the horn and the head, as well I've planed to reduce a tiny bit the head and the horn which should mitigate the problem a bit. Also the transition in the depth of the right arm is not as smooth as it should be and it feel kinda strange, almost like it is not connected to the shoulder.
So my plan for this is to add more details, roots, trees whatsoever in the symbol area to have it the first focal point then drag the eye on the head and the horn.

There're also some weird values problems with the left base of the giant tree. The color balance of the first ground soldier on the right is awfully weird and I've been lazy on some details.

But as always thank you so much for your comments ! :smile:

I'm really really happy to see you're going to do another idea as well, this is looking amazing and I'm pleased of the hard work and time you've put into not only this work but commenting and seeing everyone else's work (yea I see you)
I'm excited to see more cool ideas from you xD

Just made some sketches for my second idea, I really want it as an over watcher who can guide others and make strategical decisions (yeah I miss that part for the moment). I made other random sketches but went really fast on the jellyfish theme and add an humanoid part. This surely will not be the final design but it's a way I could see myself going on

So for some reason, I think the most interesting thing about your work is the horn on top of the big guy's head, and it's a cool element to tell the story, if you can put a little guy on its back and try to blow it, and other soldiers being awakened or march forward ... stuff like that

In terms of color and light, I think the sunlight, the light from the emblem are competing with each other, I might make the foliage on the bake more denser and kind of covering up the emblem so in the middle you can have a green-blueish tone and on the side, you can have a red warm sunset tone. keep up the good work :+1:

Yes thank you so much !
I'll take this in consideration when I'm going back to this piece :smile:

Jan '20

Thank you so much ! :smiley: I hope I'll have the time to finish the second one too

Wow so much work here ! good job ! I really like the second idea too !
I think the very last one is better in termof direction / readability.

Either one of these work but damn does it not look good! Really great piece and seeing your development on it has been such an amazing thing (I might've said this already before but it has been fun to watch lol)

Yeah I don't want them to drag any kind of attention, but I could polish them a bit

How did I miss your thing!?! It's epic!! That's some big dude!

I like it even more now! (although I would still push a little bit bit more the focal point, but at this point, i guess it's just me)
But, the robot soldier at the bottom right makes the eye of the viewer look outside of the illustration , I would advise to make him look to the golem insted and if it is still going to have those light, they should be dimed as well.
I hope it helps!
