I love all of them ! I don't how i would choose if i had to xD

Alright so I decided to re-do the sketch for the illustration.
The first version seemed to zoomed in (as pointed out by @nightblue-art) and did not showcase the character too well.

The new version put's more of the focus on the character. I also wanted the mask to be a strong focal point as well, since it is a very important part of the character. I felt like the previous composition didn't do a good job at that since most of the mask wasn't showing.
Anyway let me know what you think of the new version, your feedback is always appreciated! :smile:

Ohhh so cool that pose !
We really can feel his powers !!!
And the mask - so badass - but looks like he's (sort of) smiling, that's pretty cool.

Great job man :smile:

Wow ! The new comp is amazing ! I love it :smile:

ah, looking cool man. stoked to see it finished.

Oof, feeling that action really nicely, Jason! Keep at it ^^

loving your progress! your painting style and method is really interesting. Do you mind posting a gif of your progress sometime later? I think I will learn a lot from it ^^

@rgdraw @Iago_Cavalcante @ESL @Steve_Kim @HorizonDweller

Thanks for the kind words guys! Glad you are liking it so far! :smile:

@Steve_Kim Sure! I can do that with this piece.

Sooooo I decided to redo the piece once more.
After taking a break from the piece for a couple of days I looked at it again and didn't really like it anymore. I felt like the pose was too stiff. This guy is suppose to come from a tribe of fire dancers so I feel like the pose and composition should be more graceful and flowing if that makes any sense haha.

I spent some time reworking the pose/composition some more and came up with this! The idea for this was to have the character ascending from the ground while performing one of his special moves - fire dragon summon.
Overall I think this one captures the character a lot more then the previous.

Let me know what you think of it. :smile:

Hey, I'm loving the change. It feels very natural now. Keep going man!

"But everything changed when the Fire nation attacked !" xD Sorry i had to do it
Amazing composition once again! Can't wait for the next step :stuck_out_tongue:

Wow! Cool idea and magic colors :+1: Keep it up dude!

I think your right @JasonNguyen IN the new one, it's more flow-y Love the gesture of this comp over the other. I'd say you we're successful in making a better comp. Oh an the colors are awesome. Can't wait to see what you do next.
