looks ace 
I would simplify the head to be more readable, it got me confused. love the anime style beams
Thanks a lot !
Ok then I will put a "troll" head so everyone will get it 
Hey cool concept ! Just checked it for the first time. I love the way you've painted the big explosion storm, really nice.
It's a bit hard to understand what's going on on the bottom side of the image, is he in the air, on a cliff? pushing in the air by an explosion ?
keep up the good work
Thank you so much @dreamsequenz @rgdraw @Oceane_Roh -> yes this was probably hard to distinct (and still T-T)
A little anim on what I've done.
Not sure about lot of elements, so I will figure them out along the road.
Now it is kind of a (royal) Rooster 
That is one hell of a gun for a rooster haha. I'm feeling how this looks man. I'm down with the royal rooster, 100%. Keep it up!
@sani Well I thought that the shape (for the arm/gun) was looking like an egg...then I saw a sort of an eagle head and transform it into a rooster head in the end and other stuffs 
Last update, still a loooot to do.
Background is still super messy (same with monsters)
I really think I should get rid off that floaty wing on his back (there is already too much stuff going on...) and probably the steam from each side of the left foot.
I haven't ever noticed the wing ^^'
Now we can really understand what's going on on the image, great job !
Thank you so much @Oceane_Roh !
I try my best everytime...just not sure if I can finish like I really want to ^^'
Not sure which one to use yet...even if that's maybe the last thing I will do 
If you want to put your suggestion on which one could look the best (I know I haven't detailed them each a lot...or maybe I will keep them 3 and decide at last step).
Still not sure about the green/turquoise sky, but I like this colour.
Next step probably adding new monster + changing the flying one.
And a closer look on one.
I'm liking B and C! I think either of them will work well. Looking good though, keep it up man!
Thank you @sani ! Well after some thinking, I'm going with B "Huge wave" (and now there is an ocotpus emerging from the sea).
Baby steps of today
I enlarged the canvas on top.
Many little details everywhere...I think the canon is looking better this way.
So many stuffs to correct, so little time left...
Added an octopus-dolphin (don't ask me why this breed) and a sort of giant eagle-dragon.
The tentacle on his right leg comes from the sea (octopus-doplhin).
Seems you got similar colours going on in here but much brighter and livelier hehe <3 love your concept sketch iterations you did earlier :>
Sure I know my values are totally wrong and all...but I prefer to focus on the details first (yes that's probably not the best T-T )
Also, you make a good point here...I loose so much strength when I paint it (I also prefer my sketches than my boring paintings...they loose so much dynamism with these linearts).
Well, that's a bit false because I can't get rid of the linearts...or else everything is blurry or confusing and all...
But my first problem is, I started it too late....and I don't really like it anymore.
Still I will try my best to finish it (but I got a gift to finish for my nefew birthday , of course tomorrow )
Nevertheless, I do know I progressed a lot since 3-4 years doing Artwar(s) !!!
And surely many of us are, even if some can't be here every year or barely, sadly 
And that is some serious energy going on here!
As for "I don't really like it anymore" - don't pay attention to that. It's perfectly normal 
. I for example don't like my piece at the moment but I know that I simply have to push it thru. Usually after initial steps, when we doing concepting and sketching and all that stuff, we get excited, but when it comes to actual realization of so cool idea, our excitement seems to vanish somewhere... somehow... And this is where perseverance and stubbornness should come to stage. We just have to push it thru. Good luck mate. Fight to the end!
Best regards

I guess every artist has that with sketches they see :> cause you can really see the potential of where a piece might go. ^^ I don't see what's wrong with having lineart, personally I prefer drawings with lineart over rendered stuff because it can keep the drawing nice and clean.
Ah I know that feel, Good luck trying to finish it still! I hope you will make it in time ^^
And yes! Art war allows us all to push a bit further :> I'm not even here for winning just wanna prove to myself I can still make a decent drawing after having taken a break for a long time ^^b
@jonatan-moonchild
Sure I know it is normal feeling to don't like a piece you are doing since a while...
We defenitely have to push thru this...just not enough time (as usual).
Of course I started it a bit too late (less than 15 days ago)...my other Artwar, I started them as soon as they begin (so about 2 months), and plenty of time
Despite that I always do too much characters/sketches and ended up with a piece that maybe wasn't the best of them all.
Sometimes your first piece is the best one.
I sure am perseverant and stuborn person (even if I kinda look more than chill)...my stress is always over 9000 (whatever what I'm doing).
Like I said on your thread, I hope you too can have the time to finish this (like you want)...but I guess it might be a bit short on time.
@nyamesis
And from a sketch of one piece it could go in so many directions...put the same one in the hands of 10 various artists, results could be super fun xD (even from the very first idea of the sketch itself)
Don't make me wrong, I'm not even here for winning either
Sometimes I'm blind and totally out of power when I see master artists posting their art with some nice sentence like : "I don't know what I'm doing" or something like that (or worst)
But sure every artists go through that stage once in a while whatever their skills...
