ARTWAR 2 | 2D | Garm, The Chimera | gamma1661

[gamma1661]

Hello everyone. I competed in last year’s artwar and am looking forward to taking part in this one as well. Comment and critique on my work is always welcome and I wish good luck to all other artists that are competing.

I’ve finally decided that I’m going side with the dark team. For my champion I going to go for a humanoid beast, specifically a humanoid chimera. For now I’m just coming up with silhouettes but feel free to comment and critique.

Roughing out the design for now but feel free to critique. I want him to be a warrior beast instead of just a feral monster so I intend to give him some clothes later.

More changes. I might use this pose for the reference sheet, but for now it’s going to be used to draw up some clothing ideas.

I almost never get any likes so thank you kindly.

You've got a good grasp of anatomy! My recommendation would be to try a more primal look/feel, perhaps some more exaggerated facial features and hands/feet. Show us how deadly or vicious this creature is.

While you want to go for a humanoid beast, it would still be cool to see how those animal traits could pop up in your creature. Keep it up!

Edit: I looked back at your initial sketches and I quite like 4, I think that one is pretty awesome and you should definitely explore it!

I had some inspiration for my character. Since Garm is going to be a warrior beast I always planned on giving him a sword but I thought it’d be cool if he used three swords; one in each hand and one wrapped around his tail. Here’s a rough idea.

I’ve been AFK for the last month due to personal reasons but I finally managed to get some time to work on Garm and I’ve made a few minor changes since last time.

I thought I’d share my coloring WIP. It’s getting close to the end so I’ve got to work fast.
