So I had been practicing from reference the other day - https://www.pinterest.com/pin/392657661264211286/
As I was working on it, I realized there was an artwar going on here. So I started to come up with ideas. This illustration was meant to be practice but now its a back story to the elemental I will be working on.

This is a crocodile water elemental- inspired by sobek, the egyptian god of the nile. I have some more sketches I am working on, but after these I ended up painting this little guy for fun.

Thanks for looking. Hopefully I will finish with a higher end of polish than these.

Okay so here is a small update. Trying to make the water stand out.

After some research, I found this nice video on the properties of water adhesion.

Its a pain to try to figure out all the reflections. I will probably make a mood board later for the final. I have more sketches I still need to prepare for presentation. Thanks for looking!

I really like the effect with the visible gator skull!

Okay. So here are quick concepts for the final design of Sobek. I tried to focus more on the (water) aspects.

These first 2 pieces were explorations of how he would spawn. Coming out of the water and taking shape.

These 3 are my final concepts for the design aspect. I think I am going with number 2. But I really like the movement of 3.

Okay! So 2 more days. We can do this guys!

Thumbs for final illustration. Its going to be a fast one! but if its not fully fleshed out I will keep going!
