I love your design he is so funny, the small detail of the feet is a really good idea.
If I'd have to choose between your two thumbnails, the bottom one win by far for me. He look very happy to swing his big hammer on the poor little creature, it work amazingly well with his funny design. There's a lot of personality! And for the challenge you need to showcase as much as possibly of your character.
Here i am! ready to start the illustration! this weekend i've done another thumb!! but i think i will start with the second one as @Oceane_Roh says!
anyway i forget to use the logo of the artwar, so i've reuploaded the concept also!
WEll this look really good !
I'm a bit sad you haven't keep the light in his "eyes" which made a form like this smiley that was a really fun part of you design for me, I was really looking like he was enjoying crushing this poor man. He is a bit less expressive right now.
I'd say you could use a bit more gesture in the way he is handling his hammer, The front part is very dynamic with this blur but the rest look a bit frozen in time.
Anyway it's a really strong painting and I love the rough painterly style !
thank you so much for the advice!!! i've tried to do all that you told me! and that's the result!
do you think is better than before?
