I worked on the weapon and I think I'm on a good way. It was important to me, that you can still recognize the spade. 😄

Now I'm looking for the Beertank ^^

prinzmoana 2021-02-08 13:08:29 UTC #23

I've put him in a T Pose and its decent, but I also feel like the shape hierarchy is still of. Does anybody have advice for me? 😅
I probably have tweak some things around a bit.

moirae 2021-02-08 15:13:04 UTC #24

I'd probably add some detail to the tops of the cylinders, maybe valves or more pipes to add interest to the flat top.

mr_dessin 2021-02-09 10:29:28 UTC #25

Or maybe even a banner or something ?
Just fear it's a bit too much warhammer-ish.

prinzmoana 2021-02-09 16:07:45 UTC #26

@moirae @mr_dessin thank you very much for the great ideas. Maybe I find a way to add some details without it looking too crowded.
I'll see what I come up with. 😄

I've changed a bit on the clothing to simplify things and see what it look like. Do you prefer the new look (left), or the old one (right)?

Besides that I also worked on some silhouettes for the beer tank, probably I'll post them over the the next few days. 😊

prinzmoana 2021-02-14 10:47:38 UTC #28

Here are some silhouette ideas for the Tank.
In the end I understood what was bothering me the whole time. There isn't enough space between the tank and the head and therefore you can't read the head as good as I want to.

prinzmoana 2021-02-16 12:00:25 UTC #29

Explored a bit further with the tanks.

The first one goes with a dog theme, but it was more a exploration, I don't think I develop this further xD

The second one is about a beer pipeline or beer floating in the air from one tube to another. Maybe he's a beer bender 😂

Lainon 2021-02-17 14:49:58 UTC #30

Got a feeling that this is gonna be something really special, can't wait to see more! BEER!! =)

prinzmoana 2021-02-17 17:28:08 UTC #31

Aww thanks ☺️ I will work hard to meet your expectations 💪🏼😁

moirae 2021-02-17 22:22:40 UTC #32

Elemental beer mage! Genius. I like the first one on the second sheet, the beer flowing through the air between tanks.

prinzmoana 2021-02-24 09:26:54 UTC #33

Now that I have the lineart I can start on the back view and coloring, to finish the stylesheet. 🎉

prinzmoana 2021-02-28 08:28:02 UTC #34

Here is the color palette 😄
I also will try to do some different expressions soon.
To be honest these things take me very long since I'm not used to digital painting, or painting in general haha😆 But it's fun tho and I learn a lot 💪🏼
If you have any thoughts I would love to hear them 😉

prinzmoana 2021-03-08 21:13:30 UTC #35

Puh I've just finished my Expression explorations 🤪
Tomorrow I will put together the final stylesheet. I'm happy with my character now and will move on to the illustration, so I hopefully will make it in time xD

prinzmoana 2021-03-09 15:00:36 UTC #36

🎉 There is my finished stylesheet 🎉
I had a lot of fun in this challenge and I'm glad I could see all the great artworks that the other participants came up with. It's really inspiring follow the progress of everyone🤩
Now there's only the illustration left and I'm all on fire 🔥

prinzmoana 2021-03-10 15:44:12 UTC #37

Here is a rough... like very rough sketch of my illustration xD
Brandolf is in the front while the whole forest in the background is burning
due to the fire breathing tank. 🔥
To show his beer bending skills I thought he could maybe form a beer shield around his spade. 🍺 This way he blocks the fire and defends his forest 💪🏼😄

moirae 2021-03-10 17:00:28 UTC #38

The character's pose is nice and dynamic, but a lot of the tank is being blocked to the viewer, and it may not be clear that the tank is shooting fire at him. (depends how big the shield is going to be.) maybe experiment with a slightly more angled view of the tank so we can see it throwing flames?

Just a side note, but is this guy really fighting fire with alcohol? He's a lunatic!

prinzmoana 2021-03-10 19:21:22 UTC #39

Oh man you're right, alcohol and fire might not be best combination 😳
Haha never thought about it xD Thx for the advice🙏🏼
For the shield I planned on making it somewhat translucent, but I probably think of a totally different idea🤔

prinzmoana 2021-03-12 10:49:56 UTC #40

Here are some other ideas for thumbnails:

But after some thoughts I went back to the original idea, because unfortunately I don't have enough time to come up with a whole new Idea.
So this is my Progress:

For the problem @moirae mentioned, fighting fire with alcohol I also had a solution... kind of xD So I thought since my boy Brandolf doesn't want to be drunk all the time but loves the taste of beer, he uses non-alcoholic beer 🤣
I will see if I'm able to incorporate this idea somehow in the design ^^
