This is my first time doin' anything like this!
Joined this to learn how to brainstorm & create outside the box & just have fun! Trying to make up some designs so I can pick one and run with it so far!

my first brainstorming idea. I was happy with my Earth one so I decided to try Earth for this!

My first attempt at Earth, as a whole!
Trying shapes & colours & all in all just having fun with experimenting; having never done this sort've thing before it's really cool! I envy those that do this for a living!
I am not sure which path I will take, yet. Some things I like but nothing screams to me, yet.

neat i like the volcanic turtle, though he probably couldn't be organic as the lava would melt him, stone on the other hand might work really well, and for whatever reason i thought of a split volcano type of design on at each side so the lava would drip away from him and not on top of him. (and tilted towards the back end a bit more.) Nice keep exploring if you want, the Stonehenge type of design next to the turtle is not bad either.

That's a really cool idea!!! I hope you don't mind if I experiment with that a bit!

Go ahead its why i mentioned it, i have to resist drawing it out cause that might be considered teaming and i would hate to have that happen to someone cause i brought up a really nice design from something they are showing of. Rules are a bit up in the air on that verbiage even though i think they mean entirely throughout the challenge and not once or twice in comments, though that should still be apparent. (more for them to read than for you) Otherwise nice looking forward to what you come up with.

Hi! Perhaps someone already told you, but the fire lad has the fun and simple vibe from Metal Slug character design. A bit of work on the design of the mask and flamthrower, then
you are good to go. Earth is nice too, but it looks like a tremedous amount of work on details and shapes. As 3dc said, the Stonehenge thematic can be rad to explore.

So I decided upon my little Flamethrower fella.. who still needs a name, lol. Based on suggestions from innocent & my own doodling playing around with Earth creatures & the little things I can design around this guy (which I stupidly deleted). So, I decided to draw up some concepts, just throw ideas on a few pages & see what I got. Now, onto the final stage before Art War ends!

Top'll be the choice! Now the scary part! D:

Welp!
Frankly, I didn't expect much of myself, I still have a really long way to go with art & I feel my digital painting skills are really bad but at least I finished something, and undertook a creative process & tackled a project.
It was a fun learning experience, and now I have something to look back at after next years Art War & be proud of the progress I've made!
