@malcom thanks mate! Will try to organize references for the next update (pureref). Regarding FX for weapon attack - dynamism probably will be achieved through dynamic enemy chunks flying all over the place, also sparks and pebbles flying from the place of impact. Smear effect - most likely.

Character rough color and overall compos. Not happy with the face atm, but need to be moving on to the illustration, will be finalizing colors and important features there. Concept will be updated along the way.

The character feels really fresh and new. The idea of the vfx coming from the enemies sounds good. I look forward to further updates.

I meant to comment on this sooner but man is the badass. I think the yellow hair works really well to draw us in. The sparks coming from the chainsaw are really cool as well so far. Keep it up.

I really like the change fore the hair. It gives the scene more motion. The added elves in the scene sell the idea of protector. The blue accents on the suit are a nice addition as well. Keep going bro . You got this. :grin: :+1:

@malcom not going to give up! Thank you for your support.

Adjusted initial concept according to the illustration - fun part about allowing yourself to wander. Detailing will be pushed further eventually, but for now - trying to decide between red and blue flame for chainsaw motor.

With the design changes, I'm liking the blue here. It gives that "good" warrior vibe or warrior of light vibe. The blue can also serve as an good story element. It can say some about the tech in her world. The orange is also nice because it has a realistic touch to it. I think because of her role, the blue might be the better choice. But looking at the latest illustration wip, the colors being orange work to help the scene color break up. Nice complimentary colors going on with the orange an blue. Hard call to be honest. Hope this kinda helps. the new design is still aesthetically pleasing. I like the face a lot.
Edit: I think the red/orange flame might contrast the best due to all the blue on her body. Just a thought.
ok enough rambling. This is looking good. Best of luck on choosing and keep up the good work.

each new post is changing it for better! can’t wait to see what else will you improve! 💪

Glad to see you make it in time. Really awesome piece. Best of luck to you bro.

Awesome, Love the colors and concept! Well Done and Best of Luck!
