@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 !
Your character looks like boss from Hollow knight.)
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.
Yeah your first thumb is really cool ! We can really feel the speed and the power !
Phew. Spent last few days rendering the Thunder-Beast. Tried to paint the beard to be cloud-like, but not sure if it needs refining. Critique is welcome.
It kinda look like a candyfloss bear, but hell yeah that's cool !
It does look a little like candyfloss, 
I'll have to tweak that. But thanks!
i like the look on this and the colors, the soft feel to it works well for me top part almost feels like a cloud. (views rough concept it is a cloud nice work!)
Started work on the submission. Merely sketchwork, figuring how much detail to apply to the lizards and tweaking the composition. Not sure if I should edit the aspect ratio to be wider and more cinematic.
I will always say yes to wider aspect ratio lol
But in truth it could help your composition more, that burst of speed from your dude right across the picture like that
Changed the aspect ratio. Definitely helps. The composition feels less constricted now. Thanks @nesokaiyoh ^^.
Finished rough sketch. I will clean up the sketch next. Any constructive feedback on my rough sketch is appreciated. 
hmmm, this is cool, what gets to me is that this enemy is more of the focus than the hero in this image, i'd say if you can lessen his appearance and enhance the hero more might be neat maybe raise the hero and put this enemy more under the hero sliding off to the left of the shield and towards the ground. That is just me, i don't do much drawing so, take it with the grainiest of salts.
I understand what you mean. The focus might change later though when I start rendering colours and values. I plan my champion to be bright and glowing as it's powering through, while the lizards will be darker tones and possibly blurred the further they're away from the champion. I might remove detail later if necessary. Thanks for your input. ^^
Finished clean version of illustration sketch.
Okay... so overtime, I've grown to dislike the basic shield design I used so far. I've decided to redesign it before continuing the illustration.
I knew it needed changing, but I couldn't decide how. After browsing through several Greek shield references, I thought of shaping the shield to look like moth wings, while trying to keep it visually Greek-influenced. I drew up several variations of this idea and wondered if anyone agrees/disagrees with this concept.
2, 7 look good
Updated Thunder-Beast with shield redesign.
ooooh I love the new shield, the moth inspiration is a nice touch !
