I did some testing for the design of his head. It was a tough choice to make but I think I ended with something that fit him well.
This head has something more human-like than the others, it makes him look like a demon coming from the abyss.

I still have one picture to post and I'll have caught up on everything I did this week.

SO JACKED, ahaha kinda reminds me of the krogan from mass effect witht eh current head design, love the variants especially that last one.

toge_geto · Jan '20

nice sketches! I like your style man.

gabinguede.work · Jan '20

Thanks for everyone's kind words ! It keeps me motivated !
Here are my color tests. It was super fun to do, and I really like the last one (the one on the right of the second picture).
It looks like a monster coming from abyssal depths, exactly what I was looking for.

Today I wanted to design Xul'Drahim's powers to find how he could summon hydromancers' souls.
I found a design I like for the souls, and I have enough material to start sketching compositions for the illustration

Oceane_Roh · Jan '20

Every step make your creature even more epic it's amazing, I love your colours choice and I can't wait to see your compositions !
By the way, if I'd have to choose one of the summoning process it would definitely be the bottom one and perhaps use the bright tentacle to control the hydromancers ?

gabinguede.work · Jan '20

Thanks ! I think I'll go with your idea about the hydromancers summoning
I didn't do too much the last days, I'm a bit afraid of messing up the illustration. I really want to find a composition that shows the whole design of the monster, I'll work on this today ^^

Oceane_Roh · Jan '20

No worries, there's nothing bad in taking breaks, you have plenty of time left so take it ! Don't be afraid, if you mess something up you can always go back or even start over, but I'm sure you'll come up with something badass

gabinguede.work · Jan '20

I just found something I like ! I'll work on this and see how it goes

nesokaiyoh · Jan '20

The subtle intricacies are a bit hard to make out in those thumbs, but the general gesture and composition all look really interesting

gabinguede.work · Jan '20

Ahah yeah ! I like to go from chaos to order when I'm not sure what I'm looking for. Here is an updated version :

brandoncrampton1 · Jan '20

this is looking Fluffing epic!

mr_dessin · Jan '20

Looking wonderfull already

gabinguede.work · Jan '20

Thanks ! I didn't do much since last time, just resized it to 16:9 and set some values. I'm afraid to have to paint so much water, but I like how it's going ^^

Oceane_Roh · Jan '20

Wouw nice composition ! I really don't want to be this guy ahah, there's so much energy in it.
Will you add the hydromancer ?

gabinguede.work · Jan '20

I'm trying to add them, but everything I tried weakened the composition
They add many points of interest and kinda drive the eye away from the monster

tj-works · Jan '20

Maybe reduce the number of hydromancers? Or keep them in bunches so they're not scattered across the composition too much?

wrangman · Jan '20

I like it alot =) keep it up =)
