Oh, I like these new designs! I'm not sure which one I like the most. 2 looks epic and strong, but I also really like 1 and 3. I can't wait to see what you'll do :smile:

@nesokaiyoh @cedricgo I'm surprised you both like 3. I thought it was the weakest design. :o

I agree with 1 and 2 though, especially 2. The dwarf look wasn't my intention but now I can't unsee it, haha. Thanks for the feedback!

I like him because he's like an old wise dude with a huge beard. At least that's how I saw him and I thought it was fun, haha :smile:

ooh I like these design a lot !

I love the 1-2, particularly the 1. I love the way he look badass but fragile at the same time which I think fit the lightning element very well.
The 4 is also amazing but I feel it more like the spellcaster type.

Been working on the final design for my Thunder Beast/Moth-Zeus. (I don't know what to call them now.)

Created to alternate versions. As I want his beard to act like a mini-thunder cloud that builds with static, I feel the dark-beard version will work best. But I'm free to hear other's comments.

I haven't really a good reason, but the white bear appeals to me a lot more. That's a really good progression !

Yeah I think the white beard is better too

I was going to deliberate the colour scheme today, but I ended up going back to add more and tweak the Thunder-Beast's design. Also, took on board that "White" is the new "Black". :stuck_out_tongue:

Colour Tests. My eye leans towards the middle, but not sure if I should tweak or try other tests. Picking colour schemes is usually the trickiest part to me. >_<

Those are nice, I thin the best is the middle one. I suppose you could make some other tests ? With more blue maybe ?

These are all quite nice. The cool greys of the last one go really well with the warm tones of the armour, and the deeper oranges of the second is also nice. Personally I quite like the second one, although they're all quite appealing

@Oceane_Roh I was considering blue in place of the teal-green sections in my tests, but the teal-green seemed to harmonise more imo. I'll try some new schemes with blue later.

@nesokaiyoh Glad you think so. ^^ I've been using moth fur colours from the moodboard for reference.

Now with my Thunder-Beast design finalized for now, I started thumbnailing the character illustration. I'd been deliberating who he fights because it didn't cross my mind when I started. But then I figured, if he's a moth, he should remain the size of one, so his enemies could be predators naturally bigger than him.

The question is whether I should adorn them with Greek armour too to link with Thunder-Beast's Greek theming. I don't want to spend too much time designing his enemies too.

Ahah I love the mini-sized-electic-god-superwarrior.
Fighting lizards could be a nice one because of their natural connection with the earth element. The 5 or 2 are the most appealing to me.

I agree with 2 and 5 composition wise. The others do have potential but in terms of composition and perspective they're far more flat and a little bland in comparison. Good work I really like this tiny hero idea!

@Oceane_Roh @nesokaiyoh Agreed. Making lizards part of the Earth faction could work. I'll take #2 and #5 and expand on them later.

Btw thank you for the consistent feedback so far. It certainly helped. ^^

You're very welcome
This is what make this challenge so cool !

Finished expanding the illustration thumbnails. Safe to say I'm gonna go with the first composition. I had more fun playing around with the first sketch's compositon while the second one was trickier.
