your artstation looks pretty good, it's gonna be cool to see what you come up with

started with a bunch of sketches of some electric lightning ninja alien dude..

jens.kuczwara 2020-01-03 08:21:40 UTC #5

then took it to various directions for testing...

I like the 2nd and the 4th

brandoncrampton1 2020-01-03 17:35:11 UTC #7

i really like the 3rd one

jens.kuczwara 2020-01-04 08:14:17 UTC #8

Thanks for your opinion!
I'm struggling between 3 + 4, I like beeing so close up to 3, but its a bit stiff. 4 has more energy..

brandoncrampton1 2020-01-04 09:00:05 UTC #9

yeah its a tough one. i guess being lightning its probably a good idea to have a good sense of energy in the piece so maybe 4 is the way to go . although if you wanted you could always zoom out slightly of 3 and add a arcing blade to its back hand so it appears as if it just finished a jump/dash with the blade

Awesome design! I really love the sketches you did
No. 4 is definitely my fav one because you can feel the energy and him attacking something. I'm excited for more progress!

jens.kuczwara 2020-01-06 15:02:15 UTC #11

thanks guys!
I went with no4 and focused on compo and pose, which was tough. Organizing and harmonizing 6 limbs within this angle was difficult, but I think I'm slowly getting somewhere.

Pentagram invok ?

Nice one !
Good luck with the finishes.

jens.kuczwara 2020-01-11 16:44:33 UTC #13

struggling with the back tech design, tested around 10 versions..

nealtse 2020-01-12 02:31:21 UTC #14

These are sick, really dynamic. I think you nail it with the foreshortening.

jens.kuczwara 2020-01-13 07:40:05 UTC #15

thank you nealtse!

mr_dessin 2020-01-13 10:31:26 UTC #16

Nice new back !
The flow is even more better like this.

yazziixx 2020-01-13 11:06:14 UTC #17

Your character looks very badass! Can't wait to see the final illustration!

jens.kuczwara 2020-01-20 09:30:58 UTC #18

Last update before finishing up (I guess)
changed some things here and there, rendered a lot of parts and wondering what to do with the BG...

tj-works 2020-01-20 09:40:08 UTC #19

Looking sweet. Maybe you can have an enemy or building prop cleanly sliced mid-air in the BG, as if your champion just sliced through. Maybe add a glow to the swords or his light-blue cranium.

Realy nice colors and pose
