Hello!
First time doing the ART WAR.
I'll be going for a lightning type character.

Looks dope

Small update here.
Still not sure about the design yet, we probably iterate some more on this one.
Since I had a bit of time before going into the final illustration, I thought it would be better to work more on the design.
I'll start working on the final illustration even though I have a couple elements left to design.
So much energy in this, those thumbnails are really impressive. I like 2 and 4 although 1 could be super dynamic. 4 is definitely more on the scary side (they all are really) and it really suits this character, beautiful design good job
Woah, I haven't seen this entry thread yet. He looks awesome!
Composition no.3 is definitely the most eye-catching. He looks like he's about to start a battle. He feels very tyrannical and imposing in this image, and I love how the minimal use of lightning directs the eyes. Can't wait to seem him polished.
Thank you!
The 3rd is the one I'm going for I guess, the silhouette is clear and it has room for some elements I want to add later on(if time allows it of course xD).
I guess I'll go into the illustration with this... I'll improve it simultaneously from now on.
Still need to design the horse, I'll try to work on it in the next days.
Trying the colors I had in mind a bit, before revisiting the horse's design.
Awesome I really like 4 where you can see the Horse more clearly and it feels better Perspective wise
Hmm I think your character would benefit from being larger in the composition. What I loved about your sketches was how big and imposing and scary he looked, and his horse was impossibly huge too. In this so far he looks more normal sized and honestly has lost a lot of the impressiveness of the sketches. Just my opinion, but the impressive and hugely scary demeanour was what won him over for me!
I see what you mean. I've been thinking about it for a while and I might end up making the other guys in the comp smaller again.
Thanks for the feedback!
We do not have to do a character sheet front/back anymore (since this year).
Nevertheless it's always useful.
