Some initial sketch form ideas. Originating with the idea of making my character, Oyo, the leader of a special ops team for the Lightning faction
current I think options 3, 4 and 7 are gonna be interesting to move forward with. 3 being a skeletal type character, very fast and skilled in hand to hand combat. option 4 possessing a powered exo-skeleton and option 7 having a flight pack of some kind, with android elements too their body
_
working up some really rough ideas for my favourite 3 forms in the first phase. really drawn to the idea of an electric exoskeleton so started with that one! the body is rough and just to give the exoskeleton something to work with.
Working on some of the elements that id like to include in my design for Blitz-Admiral, Oyo

Namely the exo-skeleton, mechanical legs, and back-pack. Also exploring a system of magnetically locking elements to the armour cus I thought that could be cool.

Lemme know what you think or if you like or dislike certain parts! I'm interested to hear what people think hope your entries are going well!

trying to get an idea of what sort of person Oyo is, if theyre a human at all, i liked the idea of a more lithe, elvish type of character, more built for quick movements and graceful in the air while dropping from their dropships into the battlefield.
I also like the idea of making their skin colour more of a combination of warmer human flesh and a colder flesh colour, maybe something you would see of people who lived their lives in the clouds, as members of the Thunder faction.
Starting to work on the character of Oyo themselves. wanted to put down some key aspects of the design as I was imagining it! settled on the following:
Looking good so far 
thanks! tried the contest before but never finished so really trying to keep up the pace this year haha
I see. Well I wish you good luck then. I hope you get to finish it 
Had a go working on some for Oyo, I'm thinking the shorter, choppy hairstyles suit the military theme I wanted to go with but not too sure yet!
thinking maybe 4, 6 and even 5 are my favorites so far, especially 6. I think it gets the idea of military and also the lightning feel across.
lemme know what you think! hope all your designs are going well:)
I find 5 and 6 pretty cool
16 days later
hi all, got back into working on this after the Christmas break, i don't know if doing gifs is allowed so please tell me if it's not and ill remove it. I was really struggling to express my work done today without showing the stages and thought a quick animation could be cool!
initial composition idea gonna see where it takes me
Good work! It's nice you put so much time into the conceptual side of it
Thanks! I actually have a lot more to consider for the design I think. things I intend to address as I start working up the presentation image.
Unfortunately I'm moving house in like 2 weeks.. so currently panicking I'm not gonna finish in time with all the packing?!
I believe you can do it!
