  I'm wanting to join Art War 2 because I really like the concept. So I've been working on an idea based around light beings that give up part of their humanity to become something greater. I worked with a word list first to get the ideas going and to understand what I see as light. Then I moved on and added things that I would personally find fun in this design which would be some angel/fairy themes.

Edit:
Here's where I'm currently at so feel free to critic if you'd like. I appreciate any and all help thank you!

I've been refining and reworking the armor. I really like the more solid metal work rather than the open cloth. It reinforces the warrior part of the character for me.
Also, this is what my work space looks like while working. I'm planning to gather all those references together to make the final reference sheet.

After some time away from working (because of school) I had gotten to this point in the first picture and decided that the concept just wasn't working so I started over entirely.

I reworked the story idea I had in mind and set up clearly the character in mind. A male character whose god, a god of light, raised him from the dead to be his champion of light during battle. I still played with the idea of his head being partially gone or entirely gone.

Eventually, I really liked the idea of having the top of the head returned but different. His eyes permanently closed and his only sight is the third eye on his forehead.

I also still want to keep the sun iconography along with the fairy themes. So currently I've chosen my favorite sketch and I've been playing with how I want it to look.

I've been playing with the wings but I realized that I should be pushing the silhouette more so that will be my next task (since I failed to do that sooner). Critics are welcome and I'll be sure to post more as soon as I get something down.
