Great concepts! She reminds me of Lady Justice with her blinded eyes, which really suits her role. Looking forward to see how you will portray her in your final images!

Hey racnos, i like the concept and the idea you got in this design! i alos like the connection with the spikes, on the headpiece and on the wings, its always good to repeat a design on a character so that it doesnt look random! my only thought on this is, the wings, can she fly? if yes how? if no, i would suggest to maybe resize some of them that it doesnt look symetrical but keep the balancing! just that the viewer gets a clear vision what the wings are for
cheers

racnos 2017-12-30 04:03:24 UTC #9

thanks @stefankoidl ! No, she cant fly! The wings are decoative

I was thinking that if she collect the feathers of other angels those feathers can have like a little chain with the names of the previous owners.
Here is a little update with the idea!

I really like the chains, they add that detail that I think the character needed.

Also, i made this for fun this morning! what if the champion is a concept for a League champion? just some clunky gifs !

racnos 2017-12-31 04:20:44 UTC #12

New pose! And colors! I still dont know what colors to use, I want to go with some sacred-gold stuff. Will serch for references later! i wont be able to update for few days. Have a nice end of the year all!

I think all the colors suit your character except the greens but I'm sure you can find good colors if you go to ArtStation from similar characters

sanguine 2017-12-31 06:29:42 UTC #14

I don't think the green itself is the problem, I just think you need to incorporate some warmer, reddish colors into the design:)

evehartman 2017-12-31 12:19:10 UTC #15

I agree with @sanguine ! Perhaps a more rusty colour?

racnos 2018-01-03 14:36:20 UTC #16

Thanks all for the feedback! I just come home since new year and will start working again later!

Really love the colors! I really love the idea of giving her League moves (I’m trying to envision her ult and her passive, but that’s just me nerding out tbh ) and the asymmetry in her design. As for the green, I agree that the shade of green looks to evil and dark. I think that a light blue-green with hints of discoloration might look better (I don’t know yet if it’ll work, but I find that lighter versions of primary paint colors such as red, blue and yellow tend to give a more “good” look while darker versions of secondary colors like purple, green and orange tend to give a more “evil” look). Can’t wait to see the final result!

I think the concept of the character its pretty cool, an angel without an arm sounds awesome.
About the design i would try to add more details in the weapon, in the armor, etc, things that can tells us more about the archangel of punishment like the idea of having little chain with names. Hope to see more updates soon.

Hola, vengo a flotar.

racnos 2018-01-07 23:57:24 UTC #19

Thanks to both of you @mystarryspace and @noodles !
i'm much happier with the result now, i still want to hear your opinions on the new design and color before starting the character sheet! sorry it takes me so long to decide what to do.

The chains and the feathers are still loosely done

Tesat 2018-01-08 00:25:41 UTC #20

I like the new colors, but maybe you can try a little bit darker versions of that yellowish green. The patterns fit well btw. Also you can try using an accent color for the metals

noodles 2018-01-12 04:38:22 UTC #21

The new colors are great!!! Maybe the yellow of the chains look too saturated.

racnos 2018-01-14 04:35:37 UTC #22

Well, i get borred of that design. It fells that it was not suited to be in the front line of a war. So here it is with some changes! but now is a disaster! It has no relaxing point and i need to fix that. For the moment here is my update:

and since i never posted my references here are some:

ESL 2018-01-14 18:53:01 UTC #23

Heya! Stopped by cause you asked me for me to, haha. Interesting concept, especially after seeing your references. For one, the silhouette is very much in a solid rectangle with no varying angles. I think something that could help is using more of a big to small shape breakdown. For example, the plates with three spikes are the same exact size and dimensions, which do not add variety to the read!
Try using each piece of armor individually to point towards the character's focal point, her head. Use specific elements towards the torso and slowly lose specific interest as you go down to her toes. People tend to look more towards the torso area because the head/face is what we naturally look for at first glance. I think you're kind of overthinking how much is needed to make your character look interesting/cool-which is probably why there is so much trying to grab one's attention atm! Try to simplify her armor design and it'll look more organized and interesting! Cheers-

Im back and working!

racnos 2018-02-08 16:54:02 UTC #25

I have no idea how to handle that perspective, but im working on it!

racnos 2018-02-10 14:56:39 UTC #26
