Updated Thunder-Beast with shield redesign.

ooooh I love the new shield, the moth inspiration is a nice touch !

Thank you! Glad you like it. :smile:

That guy is awesome! I really like the new shield too

Been a while since I commented on here, but I've been creeping xD
I like the shield design, it resonates with your moth man! The pink fluffy beard is nice too

Thanks @nesokaiyoh ! I've been creeping your thread too. Your champion's stunning and getting a lot of attention. It might be a winner. :wink:

Team lightening! The idea of lizards and moths as mortal enemies is great. Also, the wider aspect ratio looks good.

Don't get my hopes up lmao I didn't enter for the prizes (won't complain if I get further than the first round tho) Thanks so much for the kind words!

gj! very original concept ! exellent rendering of details.

however is it possible to get it in a more dynamic position? if it's too late for a big change like that ... just make sure the legs make more sense. now they don't seem to connect well to its body and they seem a bit too small? just imo....

gl and keep it up =)

Yeh, it was a little tricky trying to pose his limbs since his beard kind of obstructs view of his body a bit. A design drawback. :x

It's not clear in the B/W clean sketch but a little of his back thigh can be seen. His pose might be tweaked later in the rendering phase. Thanks for the critique! :smile:

ah really loving those dynamic comps really cool! :smiley: seems you also going more for creatures atm ^^

A WIP shot of my illustration. Very rough, applying local colours and figuring out which colours to use for BG elements and the lizards.

WIP #2. Focused on focal point, establishing key shadow, ambient occlusion, secondary light, etc. BG grayed out for easy viewing.

WIP #3. Foundation is pretty much set. Now I'm painting over the characters, polishing and adding extra detail. The cloud beard will be worked on soon, I left it alone which is why it may look odd. Deadline is approaching!

Pay no attention to the derpy-looking lizards in the BG. They are not ugly, they were just born that way.

WIP #4. More rendering and polishing. Painted cloud beard and smoothed out details on BG lizards. If anyone see anything looking odd, feel free to comment. :smile:

Oh no, I feel so sorry for lizard guy he's hurting bad xD
