You already got some dynamic poses ready, nice! And a great weapon arsenal as well, especially the one with the twisted blade (like a helix?)

thanks! im really trying to do something cool, this is my first concept ever, i will keep pushing myself!

The right one from the top looks suitable for epic character but you can use lots of references from other images to form your pose

I agree with @evehartman, the helix looking one is a good match with your character. Try to change the base of the weapon so it looks like a more unique weapon

Cool weapons. The ninth one is my favorite!

This is my final idea for the weapon

What is the weapon that you chose? I can't tell if it's supposed to function as a mace or as a staff. It looks more like the latter, but his armor says fighter class, not mage.
I don't know if the latest post is your working composition or just testing out the weapon in his hand, but if it's for composition, you might consider trying to angle the weapon more instead of having it straight up and down. Vertical and horizontal lines make a composition more stable and static, while angles make them more dynamic, so that might be something to consider...
Anyhow, nice, thorough design work so far. Good luck with it!

Hi! the weapon is supposed to be a 2 handed spear, and yeah that was kind of my final idea of the composition but i will change the weapon position so it can be more dynamic as you said, i really appreciate your help! i would like to know, what do you guys think i can change to make it look more like a spear and not a staff? Thank you so much!

Well, a spear can gnereally be used to run someone all the way through, not just poke at them. So the crosspiece at the top and all of the floaty stuff up there seem to get in the way of that function. The floaty bits especially make me think "mage staff." And the decorative bumps on the staff - that also says "decorative" rather than "run someone through." If you want a staff,simplify... Or make it into a decorative standard, or change his costume and call him a mage! Good luck!

Thank you so much! I will change the weapon to be more like a spear! You are really helping me a lot!
