Hi everyone !
This is my first time in that kind of competition so I'm both excited and stressed out ! My character is Râ, element of fire, capable of controlling even the brightest stars !
It's also my first time putting so much effort in an illustration, although I'm a very hasted person that likes going with his first idea for design and colors, so I don't have much to show before the final illustration !
Here is my concept art for the big boi:
I really wanted him to look almost inhuman, I wanted the viewer to question what's under the armor, by showing no skins, no eyes to look into, just a head with mechanical features, and a single hand coming out of his cape. Under the cape, only faint lights and machinery would be seen, again "what's under this?!". The sun in his hand is mostly here to show trick the viewer in his dimension.
My big migraine was for the pose. Especially the background. I wanted to put a gigantic sun, again to further emphasize the size paradoxe with the sun in his hand. But how do I show that the character is actually able of manipulating or controlling stars? That's when I thought of a gigantic ship that would just suck out a star, giving the impression that the character's way to attack was quite extreme and... pretty OP.
I like that half-profile pose, but I ended up going for a more frontal one, just to keep the fun of drawing what's under his cape! But the illustration I'm doing is close to the bottom pose.
I've still a long way to go before finishing, and time is running short T-T !!!
Good luck to everyone and thank you for looking at my entry !!
