ARTWAR 2 | 2D | Sho Kaan, The Bell Keeper | proc

[proc]

I would like to throw in with the light side with my hero 'Sho Kaan'.

I was inspired by these giant temple bells from Japan which I imagine as an epic helm to be worn by a temple guardian.

By ringing the bell the guardian spirit ‘Sho Kaan’ can be summoned forth to do battle with whoever threatens the temple and its inhabitants.

Best of luck to all!

Here is my concept sheet for Sho Kaan

Great concept i like the pyramid-head vibe!
To my mind his sledgehammer can be more bulky.
(also, cool logo! :^))

The variation in your lines makes the concept interesting. The idea for the bell helm is something you don't see often. This would be a good boss in Onimusha if you remember those games.

Cool! We can use a big guy like this on the side of Light

cheers man! pyramid head was definitely part of the inspiration for this character. Your also right about the club, it looks too light atm so ill add some more weight to the end of it.

Thanks man, yeah I love the designs in those games.

Just a WIP update on the character so far.

I took a bit too long working on the initial orthographic designs for the character and at this rate, I cant see myself fully rendering the final illustration.

I will, however, finish the linework for the cut off date and upload the final rendered character on my Artstation soon if anyone interested.

Hi! It is still interesting to see the evolution of the work. This being said, please post your artstation in the first post of your topic. Good luck with the linework
