Hi! You've made tremedous progress since AW2! In term of design 2 and 4 match the most your description.
Greetings in the war !
Your sketches are amaing, realy clear.
I'd say 2/4/5 are the most coherent with your idea. I especially love the 2, it is really expressive and the wing like are a really good idea !
Looks really awesome so far!!! Great work!! All of them are so good!! 
These are all crazy. Omg! Especially the one with no shirt, looking like Brody. But then I just noticed the woman behind the middle one and shooot!! Dis noice right heya
Hi! Thanks for the tip you gave me in AW2, I should have taken your advice. Great seeing you again!
Finalizing design. Going back to the idea that the character's power is twisting his form and eating away his life/soul.
Enraged Swordman vs Brutal Bralwer
First design: Karma's is chained to his sword, it weighs him down. The sword itself is a living being and it's absorbing the character's life force. He's unable to fly despite having wings. The power torments him and drives him to madness.
Second design: Karma's power completely consumes him at this stage. He's expressionless and doesn't have a heart (hole in the chest). In a way, losing one's identity and mind is very tragic compares to being in physical pain.
I was really slow to finish this just because I want something concrete to work with. The final design would probably be one or a combination of these two. I will start thumb nailing the compositions for the next stage. Don't really have that much time left.
Compositions
1. Storming Heaven/Attacking
2. Pierce/Attacking
3. Sorrow/Defending
Working on all at the same time. I don't feel too great about the first comp, which is why I worked more on the other two. I will continue to render 2 and 3 and probably take them to the finish stage. Then I will choose which one is my favorite and submit
Amazing! I love the first one! We get to see the whole character in all it's glory, it's very dynamic and we can feel how strong he is!
I agree with rg ! The first one of the second take is really strong 
thank you for the advice
I gotta say I love the first one too, but they are both great
At this stage, unless you're absolutely certain you can finish both to a high standard I'd focus just on one and put your all into it. It's not worth sacrificing time and quality when only one can be submitted anyway, but I do highly respect your determination and calibre! If you do really want to go with both and finish them, I'll be very impressed xD
I second what @nesokaiyoh said, if you can finish both in time that'll be so impressive! But maybe focus on one
Anyway it looks amazing!!! Keep up the awesome work!
I know i'm being pretty silly here trying to do both since I can only submit one in the end. But I just have all these ideas in mind that I want to execute. I'll try my hardest not to disappoint the amazing artists here and myself. Thank you guys for the advice
Honestly if you really want the challenge and are happy enough to go through with it, then you should totally go for it! It'll definitely push you but that's the whole point of the forum! Just be careful that there is little time left and that's really the only problem xD
