Allright!
I finished it! Was quite the challenge (pun intended) to paint this illustration but working with the mindset of creating something for a product really helped staying on the right track!
It was a lot of fun creating the concept sheet and figuring out how to get the ideas and themes across not only with the character sketches but also with the little ornaments around the frame (yes Alphonse Mucha is awesome!).
I've learned alot during this challenge especially about my process of creating art it's problems and shortcomings. That's what I am going to focus on in the next few months.

Cheers!

Hey guys,
my name is Axel and I paint and draw,
as far as I have seen it your champions rock! So much talent in one place!
The light side seems to be strong in this war, so I am going to ally with the darkness!

Brace yourself! It's going to get ugly!

Cheers
Axel

@rgdraw thank you! It's going to be fun!

Allright,
the idea is: After the armies of light and dark have clashed on the battlefield, one side won the fight (the dark side of course) and there are only some skirmishes here and there the giant Mimr approaches the fields. Led by his zeolots he goes around collecting the weak champions left behind to add them to his entourage.
If someone is foolish enough to resist or attack him he'll crush them mercilessly.
I'll post some more design ideas later. c:

@rgdraw thank you! As long as it makes fun and you have a nice portfolio piece in the end I don't care about winning c:
@Dumitru_Furculita Thanks!
@mdashow thank you!

Different version!
He is kept calm by the zeolots with special incense. Once the effect fades away he sees even them as "collectables".

Allright.
Another version of the giant and some of his little side characters who follow him around where ever he goes c:
