Welcome to my contest topic.
Thank you for watching. Hope you like it.
And, of course, I wish good luck to you and all participants!

Everything can change, but for now I am on the Light side.

Thank you very much for comment, Guillaume! Merci

Good luck to you too with your own ArtWar Champion.

Ooooh. Good sir, it gives me a lot of the Witcher vibes!
Classic idea, but I would suggest you to add something more defining and eye-catching to your champion (and I'm sure you will do exactly that!).

I see you have just the right hands for the job! And I hope to get some critique from you in the future as well!
Waiting for more updates!
Stay cool!

You're welcome! And thanks dude !

Thank you for your comment, Alecksandrs.

Yes, it is. I like the Classic and I agree with your suggestion (of course, I have a plan for those details and creative solutions, but first a lot of routine work needs to be done).

Oh, thank you very much for this words (for me it's kind of a compliment). I really appreciate that! Thank you a lot.

I had already seen your work in progress. It seems interesting for me. So I'll write a comment for it later.

WIP 1: Trying to catch a mental image in my vision and depict it on a canvas.

WIP 2: Drawing of the costume.

rgdraw 2018-01-16 23:41:26 UTC #8

Really great progress! I love the design!
Do you already have an idea about the colors ?

ipos 2018-01-17 10:05:49 UTC #9

Thanks again, Guillaume, for a new comment! I appreciate it.

Yes, of course, I do.

I'm actually thinking about the colors all the time when I am drawing.

P.S.: Sorry for my english, please. I don't have enough practice.

rgdraw 2018-01-17 10:09:49 UTC #10

You're welcome and I can't wait to see in colors now
Don't worry english is not my first language too, but i understand everything you say so your english is pretty good i think

I'd suggest losing the high heels! Honestly they're almost never practical for a warrior-type, but it goes double for a character like this whose armour is otherwise fairly realistic and practical. You've done a great job making her look like a proper knight, so they feel very out of place. =)

ipos 2018-01-18 10:44:40 UTC #12

Thank you for review, Kim.

I thought that if the heels are wide and powerful, then it is acceptable for a fantasy image.
Initially, I planned a more fantasy look. And I like it (the high heels).

But I agree with your opinion. So maybe I'll make them lower. Just maybe.

Right now I'm drawing her boots, so you're on time.

Thank you for the timely advice. I appreciate it.

mdashow 2018-01-18 16:13:44 UTC #13

Great work so far. Really nice pose, really solid anatomy and nice job on the realistic armor (except for the heels: I second @kimsokol's note above.) Looking forward to seeing you take it into rendering. Good luck and have fun!

ipos 2018-01-18 16:58:35 UTC #14

Thank you very much for comment, Michael.

Good luck to you with your incredible idea (I think, that it is the most unusual vision in the contest)!

WIP 3: Sketching the dragon along with a background + some minor improvements (design the boots without high heels, thanks to @kimsokol and @mdashow )

—

Now I'm need to draw the dragon at the same level as the Lady is.
And then I want to make an overall pure drawing before going to the next step (color).

rgdraw 2018-01-26 17:34:57 UTC #16

Nice progress! Keep up the great work ! You can do it dude

ipos 2018-01-26 20:07:48 UTC #17

Thank you very much for comment, Guillaume! It is inspiring me.

mdashow 2018-01-26 20:25:58 UTC #18

Vast improvement on the boots. Looking great! You're going to have your hands full rendering all those dragon scales and details! Good luck!

ipos 2018-01-26 21:01:51 UTC #19

Oh, yeah. A lot of work needs to be done. But hands do what eyes fear, doesn't it?

Thank you for comment, Michael!

I'm glad you like the result (boots and heels) after some critique. I appreciate it. Thank you!

Good luck to you too!

kimsokol 2018-01-26 21:08:44 UTC #20

Awesome, the dragon's looking fab, and I think she looks way better without the heels. I do think her stance is a bit off-balance right now, she looks like she's falling over backwards. I think at minimum the leg on the ground needs to be angled more towards the left. You could also put the foot up on the dragon down flat instead of on her toes, but if you like that gesture it's definitely workable. Taking a quick reference photo, even if it's just a webcam photo of yourself, could help you figure out what direction everything's got to point to keep from falling over.
