Hey guys, I havent posted in a while , mainly because my design sketches PSD got corrupted to hell so I had to redo most of the designs , but I also improved upon them. Was also so busy with work so I'm kinda lagging behind now, gotta work double time.
these are initial design sketches for most aspects of the character, I will do more iterations on silhouettes and details on the next coming posts this week
cheers!
@clarief thank you!
Oh man, it sucks that your file got corrupted. Hopefully it won't happen during your final illustration piece. :x
Looks like you're going for a steampunk-ish anime hero. I like the design of his electric motor belt and glove conductor. Love the painterly style of his face/hair! Hope you catch up. You still have 2 weeks left.
That is a nightmare for any artists, getting their files corrupted! But I really like these designs so far though. I think you will be okay!
Oh no!!! Corrupted files sucks so bad, sorry you had to deal with that especially during a contest where time is limited o:
But nice work with all this, looks really cool!! I like the hair shape and color! And the design of the little machine is awesome!
Ahh I love this character so much, nice to see some cute bois I hope you can make up some time, sorry to hear the files got corrupted. I fortunately have never had that happen to me before so I can't say I empathise but I wish you the best for it regardless!
Hey guys heres some character thumbnail explorations I sketched, I tried changing up his battery/generator configuration in some and tried experimenting with different weapons and sidearms just to see if I'd find something that I'd like to add on top or change on my original design.
would love to hear your guy's pick too!
Character Bio:
Growing up Grell was obsessed with magic . unfortunately he was born with no trace of magical blood.
Regardless, he dedicated his life to science and swordsmanship hoping one day he will be knowledgeable enough to wield the elements through science and his swordmanship.
@tj-works yeah this year I want to go back to my stylized roots since I've been leaning on more realistic renderings on my personal work and actual work , growing up I would always draw characters from Final Fantasy games and Kingdom Hearts. but for the final illustration I'm looking into League of Legends splash art and Legends of Runeterra for the quality to aim at even though I'm short on time and those artworks take months and a team of artists
@clarief thanks! the art crunch is near! lol
@rgdraw thanks mate! would love to get your opinions on these new sketches though!
@nesokaiyoh thank you for the support! good luck on yours too! , saw you stuff and its looking really awesome!
Hmm these are all great. Hmmmmm I love sword and shield as well as great sword. Big weapons are my weakness 
@nesokaiyoh the greatsword is awesome too! I could also go that route , could really see it looking really cool in the illustration , my first pick would be sword and shield since Its just so simple but works so well!
thanks for chipping in what you think! gonna wait and see what other peeps think 
I am leaning towards the rouge, gunslinger, and the katana. BUT I also like the big sword too. So, right now I can’t make up my mind, but those four I seem to be attracted to XDDD
You're welcome dude!
They're all great!! I feel like any one for the middle row would work great, they have a very well readable silhouette
Not much time left, good luck with all this!!!
Hey I'm alive lol
lots of stuff got in the way perfectly timed with the final artwar week , but nothing like
good ol' CRUNCH
I'm starting to work on the Illustration right now
Heres the final pick for the weapons , asked for opinions from all around social media big pics were Swords and Shield , the original design (A) , Katana , and Gunslinger , I went with the shield because its an interesting shape for the silhouette and took the katana to change up the sword a little bit , rather than a normal double edged one!
Awesome!! Love the design!!!
And good luck for the illustration!!!
thanks @rgdraw ill somehow find a way to finish lol
heres a peek on thumbnails+ moods im doing currently
You will don't worry!!!
It looks so badass!! (Just to warn you the rules says we have to see at least 80% of the body of your character!
