War participant ready! I hope it's not too late.

Edit: I'm glad I participated in the challenge, saw some crazy designs, made some myself, and pulled through with my lousy time managment skills. This has certainly been a valuable experience.
Joined the dark side with Jackman, my champion, and his apprentice, Nora.
Submitting the files; good luck everybody!

Decided to go with the dark. My champion will be a villain duo: Jackman and his apprentice Nora. Jackman's grand goal is to conquer everything he lays his eyes on, armed with his heavy pistols and a few cybernetic improvements, he's ready for some world domination. He is accompanied by Nora, an assassin to be, who's stuck with him for quite some time still having to learn anything useful from him.

Imagined Jackman as a wild west gunner / comics villain, made some interesting shapes and then a rough sketch with his sidekick that pretty much sums up what I'm going for. Still not there though, nothing's set in stone, got lots of ideas.

Had a cool idea of Jack having some sort of engine system on his back, but it gets in the way of the cape, so I gotta sort that out; for now it's just an idea.

As for the apprentice, made some oufit designs, non of which really hit the mark for me, but at least I know in which direction I'm going, some things I really like so I'll pick the best and improve upon them.

Getting closer to what I wanted with Nora. I ended up with these 2 designs I was satisfied with. It's gotten really hard for me go past this stage because I'm not too sure what works better of the two, or a combination prehaps, decisions, decisions...

So, I've been working on finalizing Jackman for the past 2 days or so and I feel like I hit the jackpot (sorry)! Not sure if the engines will stay or not, everything works even without them and the time is running out so I got to pick up the pace.

Also, I'm not sure if I'd like a cape on him, I guess I'll be certain after the composition gets figured out, then I'll see if the cape works or not. If it does get included, it'll be something along these lines.

Working on the composition! Not satisfied with these two, though... and the time is running out, aaaaah

Okay, I think I got the illustration down! Made some changes to the Jackman's design and probably will continue doing so on the fly If I think of anything better. This has to be refined before coloring and there's a lot to do sooo, off I go!

This is what I got for now. Looks kind of plain, light sources still to be determined; working on it
