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.

Damn, nice armor concepts. ^^ Well, some are ludicuos, but still cool and distinct. looking forward to see what colors you decide to experiment with. ^^

Looks like you will have a hard time choosing among equally great concepts. If I would be forced to choose, I would choose probably first (maybe with armor headpiece for the horse from the second) or fourth (I think flag from the second would serve here well). But yeah... they are all great. Good luck and may the TIME be with you!

P.S. As for :

... I have the same feeling EXACTLY.
