I think I am going to take the Dark side. Not that my personal values are related to it but rather in a spirit of defiance. In games I have always liked to play for unpopular sides and fractions. :smile:

My character is going to be The General of The Dark Army.

Some guides for the character:

  • Powerful, maybe heavy in appearance.
  • Humanoid, not a beast.
  • Intelligent and cunning.
  • Aristocratic. No ugliness, living dead etc.

I think of a character that represents not an absolute evil, but rather "part of that power which eternally wills evil and eternally works good".

Great work already, good thoughts on the concept. I like the horned silhouettes a lot. The preliminary for the final illustration looks a bit busy, but it's still early. Looking forward to more!

I love your sketches, great work! I especially like silhouettes 2, 4 and 23. Looking forward for more! :smile:

@badboys9805, @ranarh, @oswea, @eigenspace, Thank you for your comments and feedback! I still haven't made up my mind about any particular variant. I tend to prefer heavier silhouettes like 22, though there maybe some good findings in other versions too. I would like not to exploit already ubiquitous horny motives too much or at least try to treat them in some original way.

@jonatan-moonchild Hi Jonatan! Glad to see you here and thank you for the support! As always time is the biggest issue here, I will do my best. :smile:

I am still at the very beginning. Pretty scary to realise the amount of work that is yet to be done. :smiley: Here are some explorations of mounted character silhouettes. Let me know what you think!

There are so many participants that I fail to keep up with all the updates. I have to focus on my own work and feel blinded to what is going on around on the forum. That eliminates a big portion of fun of the contest for me but I have so little time left.

Here are my recent exploration on the character design. There is very little time left for other stages of character concept, including illustration so I have to make a decision about overall design and move on. I would highly appreciate any feedback.
