*Update (Added names on jpeg image last minute, hope there's no problem with that)Hi there!I'm going to the Dark Side on this challenge and planned to make some goliath looking champion along with his followers or dark monks, magically pulling out his demon claymore sword, preparing for battle. I wanted him to look like someone who´s never lost a battle, and to look massive compared to a normal size person.Aimed for an epic yet elegant character. Tell me what you think
Concept sheets:
Good luck to everyone!
nice start!
Thank you!
Some more sketching, defining stuff and working a bit on the cloth, I'm thinking of this white abyss like white rock, almost alien spaceship white kind of stuff, Ill be working on that as well to give some insight of the characters world, although the main focus is on the character right now
Here's a concept sheet of various elements to consider, establishing more the size I would like the champion to have, playing around with his sword, I like the wide blade sword but a thinner yet more Claymore-ish style might look more elegant. Still not sure if I like white or black dressing monks, probably going to use both. Also probably going with the uncovered torso rather than armor, has a more barbaric look to it and can make a higher contrast with his white skin and black clothing and arms/ legs armor.
More updates on the Illustration, working a defining still elements, decided for the glowing sword and red masks to add touches of color that contrast with the pale skin ,monk´s cloths and black armor. Being a fan of Dark Souls myself I like the armor textures it uses often, dirty or charred and ridged.
Nice going so far. Are you going to make the rock that was presumably holding the sword a little more impressive? Maybe some kind of dark altar or something?
Hello there, Thanks for the feedback! Of course, not sure what look to give it, was planning in some big stone made of petrified white bodies, just like you said, way more impressive and magic. Will be posting more soon
Very cool! Are you going to do some design variations or is this going to be the final design? I'm looking forward to how your champion turnes out! Cheers!
Thank you! Thinking on maybe add some ornaments and runes to the garbs, so I might jump back to some garb design variation and sword hilts as well, I got carried away with the development of the final illustration because I wanted to play around with the mood of the image as in elements distribution, rough color palette and pose, while it is a stiff walking pose I wanted to create that movement feeling they just arrived and the champion is just pulling his sword out.
Worked a bit on the cloth area to try some sketches over it for more ornaments and markings, one more cosmical and one more demonic, just some ideas. Also tried some hilts, not too flashy or ornamented, I like swords simple and sharp
Really liking the Designs so far Keep it up!
Thanks a lot!
Some more developing, recicling ideas. and experimenting.
man, that is looking fantastic. love your concept as well. really awesome art!
Thank you very much!
Some more detailing and fixing some pose issues, some pale tints added as well.
dyam this is super epic !!!
Thanks a lot man!
Woah, he looks like a bad ass dwarf white walker! The red-faced monks are a great addition as well. Your winter/ice setting gives the art a great ambiance which I think is really fitting. Nice work!
