i really like these maybe you could've did an old comic style layout and have him attacking in 3 separate scene's. (idk i like these) Feel like in this new scene he is about to die. Looks cool though, maybe give me that last stand feeling can no flashy bits yet.

I think this would look better at night time. I’m guessing you’re still going to add all those lightning effects right? So all those glowy bits and and very bright colors would look really cool if the sky was a darker, it would pop up more, but so far everything else is greeting, can’t wait to see al the vfx added!

[mr_dessin]

Not sure if anyone pointed this out but...was Mr Blue very close to Tesla somehow ?
Brilliant character and especially his powerful glove/hand.

Really enjoy so much all the little details and the depth of field.
Can't wait to see these lighting hitting left character (and others maybe ?)

[Lil_G]

I love this!
The rendering is fantastic

Always loved the animal design theme ;3 Good luck

[nesokaiyoh]

Wow this is amazing, the rendering and the colours and the composition and everything! Really really well done! I would say though that the direct placement of that cumulo cloud right behind his head is kinda distracting, especialyl when it takes away from his white eared silhouette. Maybe having those clouds off to the side nearer where the fox in the foreground is?

[Sergei_Pakhomov]

Very beautiful work!

Hi guys,

we are almost at the finish line! I'll leave this here for now and check it again tomorrow. If you have any comments at this stage feel free to let me know. I would love to hear them.

I plan to do one more detail pass on the effects and characters just to tighten everything bit more.

With the full force of the Perun's hand Mr.Blue is taking fight to the Order of the Fox and defends The Institute.

@3dc Mr.Blue is in fact finest of The Institute employees and taking care of the Foxes shouldn't be any problem to him.

@yazziixx, thanks for the feedback. I would agree but then again it would also be easier. I took it as a personal challenge to see if I can make cool, action oriented illustration in a day scene. Let me know if I succeeded.

@mr_dessin, yes he is. The Institute was founded by Tesla and Mr.Blue works there. I will be posting one more world building update and if you are interested please take a look. Thank you for the kind words!

@Lil_G, thank you. Glad you like it.

@nesokaiyoh, thank you for the comment. I am using big cloud as a framing element in the composition. I knocked down lots of brightness and details from it so hopefully that is gonna help for the midground and especially Mr.Blue to read better. What do you think?

@Sergei_Pakhomov, thank you!

I am now off to bed, this was a long day and thanks for support everyone. It's much appreciated.

Cheers,
Dario J.

[nesokaiyoh]

Gosh this looks amazing! And yeah it does make a difference. It looks so professional I love it, good luck in the contest!

[mr_dessin]

At first I didn't get the bullet sliding on his back (I thought it was rockets in the far background).
Now it's perfectly clear and that's a brilliant idea !

Can't wait to see your last world building update too !
You're welcome master Dario J. : 3

Hi everyone!

When I started with the contest I gave myself few personal goals I wanted to get done during the challenge. Character design, prop design, storytelling and world building. With all of those I pushed myself as much as I could to deliver something I would be proud of. I am quite happy with the results (for now at least ) and I hope you'll like it.

I present to you Mr.Blue, the Institute's finest, in all his glory.

Great final piece and absolutely inspiring attention to details, both in the illustration (wow, those curving bullets) and in the concept (a whole newspaper front page? Insane)! Love it! -)

[dariojart]

Thank you @arhityom! Yeah, I think I went bit overboard with it but hey it was really fun

[tck]

Thanks @Lil_G! Glad you do. I hope I managed to shed bit of light onto the world Rabbits and Foxes inhabit.
Thank you @3dc. Thank you @SolarReturn, I am happy you think so!
