These are my first images over the past couple of weeks when I was trying to figure out what to do and see if I really wanted to enter. The element I initially chose was earth. I wanted to do a dark spirit stealing to souls of weary warriors, but didn’t know if it qualified as an earth element. I know there are a lot of great artist that are going to enter and I felt a bit intimidated, but I decided to put my fears aside and just have fun.

Mood board. This was initially created for my first idea of a dark spirit. A few of the images led me to rethink the whole thing and I decide on a fox with the element of lightning.

I am terrible at composition, so starting out with a pose did not serve me well. After reviewing a few of the other entries, I noticed people developing the character first. I decided that would probably be a good place for me to start as well.

That's a good idea. I like the character poses that you designed. Don't worry, you still have days to develop the project, think that you have already made the best decision: JOIN THE EARTH TEAM!
