Like the exploration of ideas. Interesting that you pick the serpentine character for your champion.

Love his facial expression as he looks very smug. Nice brushwork and colour choices too. The shape of his arms might need tweaking though. They seem off and don't seem to mesh with his reptillian body. Can't wait to see more.

[nyamesis]

Thanks! and yeah I definitely need to tweak some things (mostly anatomy because rendering is nowhere near finished) if I go with this one as a final :'D Just feel like maybe I should make a more epic looking scene or perspective on a character.
^^' but as usual I started a bit late haha will see what I can do

[nyamesis]

starting from scratch trying to get somewhere with a more epic comp :'>

[nyamesis]

[nyamesis]

i feel like this is getting somewhere altho it needs a lot of fixing

[nyamesis]

I don't think I've ever rendered a character this much before oh my god :'D
gonna fix the values now and bring in some more stuff in the background/foreground

[nesokaiyoh]

Wow this is looking seriously epic! I love the change of idea you had, and you now you have this massive epic scenescape. Really loving it!

[nyamesis]

Thank you <3 <3 yes I just looked around for a moment seeing all the amazing work going on xD I thought I had to at least one up myself too hahaha

[nyamesis]

I think it would be quite cool to see this character in motion :> Imagining it to be somewhat like this. They would come down from the sky swirling down while wrapped up in the cape. Striking the ground with lightning as the cape slowly billows into a cloudlike shape.

As for naming things .__. lightning storm will do for now

[rgdraw]

Wow! The new character looks incredible!!! Amazing work!!

[nyamesis]

Thank you! :'> its a very ambitious work for me I hope I can finish it in time :'D

[rgdraw]

You're welcome! I'm sure you'll finish in time!

[nyamesis]

adding more colours
rendering is a slow burn :'>

[yorkomo]

dang this looks like a LOT of rendereing work still to do, even though you already rendered out so much ... looks great so far!

[nyamesis]

:'D slowly starting to regret starting this rendering hahaha I'mma do my best thanks!

[yorkomo]

lol know the feeling ^^
its gonna be worth it though this piece is sick

[alexandrazapata96]

This is such an epic stance! I can feel his power from the angle, the colors, and the way lightning is striking down. I get a good understanding of the scale with the smaller characters around him for comparison. The head in his hand is really interesting. Is there a story behind why he has this head?

[nyamesis]

@yorkomo
:'D I hope so hahah slowly getting there

@alexandrazapata96
Thanks!
Its who they were before they became the storm of wrath. To become more than just a human you have to give up that part. But they couldn't part with their identity so even without knowing who they are anymore they carry the past with em :> I imagine they will not attack you if you didn't do anything atrocious though. Its not like they're wreaking havoc for no reason ^^ The character is more an embodiment of an angry storm if I can put it more simple haha.

[nyamesis]

slowly getting blind to my mistakes ;__; the closer you get to end the more work you still see in the details. Although I don't know if I want the front boys to have anymore detail or I just slap a lazy motion blur or something and run.

let me know what you think about the changes :x

[arhityom]

Wow! Very interesting!
The head in the box is super creepy, and I like how the flow of the cape works with the gathering clouds. Maybe it's a bit too close to background in value - but overall very nice!
