So many awesome entries already and I'm so god damn late to the party

Well well... Let's see how this goes...

The character I'm gonna try to create is an Earth Vanguard.
"Made by the spirits of the land. A peaceful creature at heart but threaten the light of the earth and be crushed by the force of nature."

This is gonna be so much fun!!!

Time to start painting =) Decided on this comp with the vanguard defending "the Heart of the Forest" from whatever angry mob militia thingy that's attacking it. Still need lots of work with values and tons of other stuff... Might change a few things next time i sit down and paint tho.... Oh! He friggin needs a weapon... Heh, next time maybe

See ya! XD

Ok so I've been fixing some things with the composition. Size, shape values and such. Feel that I might even be able to finish, maybe... Hope so.. ^-^

Cheers!

Uploading...

Progress from day before yesterday, somehow my file did'nt want to get uploaded yesterday... Anyhow, changed some things with the vanguards shape and added color. Still need lots of polish, need some particles and stuff aswell. Hopefully it'll get done soon =)

Progress so far. Need to take a small break and just see if everything fits before I go on and make the final rendering process with particles n stuff. Pls, if u see anything super wierd or anything thats obviously in need of correction, don't hesitate to comment =) (still not 100% decided on the shield thingy...)

Peaces

Very cool! The concept is neat and you use very pleasant colours for the rendering, I only think that the hand holding hammer is too little(and too human?) and the one with the shield could have more dynamic gesture

Thanks a bunch for the feedback! That’s absolutely something I’ll fix tonight =) I’ll try to spread the fingers abit on the shield hand and beef up the other one.

Lainon 2020-02-04 23:41:16 UTC #9

Changed the design on the club hand into a... blade hand-ish
Also altered the magic hand abit. Image still need some more love. Just need to get done!" =)

Cheers!

Congratulations on finishing your piece! I like the wood and stone rendering.

Lainon 2020-02-08 22:32:30 UTC #12

Thanks! I’m really satisfied with those elements =)
Tho, I noticed that I messed up with some shadow values. Have to fix that super early tomorrow before deadline =)

Lainon 2020-02-09 07:20:40 UTC #13
