I think #4 will suit your character best The sharp and pointy angles probably will go well with horns

[sanguine]

Nice stuff, this guy is looking super creepy! Can't wait for more updates!

[racnos]

Number 4 its also my choise! Its just a bit fun to imagine him tideing his hair before a killing spree.
I love how you are developing your work, do you think you can give some feedback to my design? any advice will help for sure!

[stefankoidl]

Thanks alot people for your comments!
and yes i think i will take the face of number 4, i will get back to the character design sheet later, because im a little bit unsure about the "clothing/armor" im currently sketching my fav armor to a pose, just to see how it would fit. At the moment i have no idea what to do with the bq, i think this will merge togehter if im happy with the necromancer himself.
Thanks alot for your feedack people, i appreciate that alot

Illustration idea sketch WIP

[Tesat]

Wow! I like the composition. This makes me feel far behind process wise since I'm still trying to figure out how's my character gonna be

[stefankoidl]

Thanks tbrk! that makes me feel like im to quick, maybe i should work more on the designing part, lets see, if im not happy with it i will delete this idea, and start from zero

if somebody is interested a quick update, maybe somebody has a cool idea to improve this

[evehartman]

As I said before, I really like the art and the concept as well. But if I were to make a suggestion about your illustration; I feel that the composition is a bit off. The values highlight your champion really well, but somehow, my attention is drawn towards the undead man with the blue smoking eyes in the foreground. Perhaps that is something you can work with?

[jonathan-barker]

I love this image! You paint so well!

I did a paintover/photobash of what I suggest you do. Have the zombies in the background and forground lead the eye to the face... then have an eerie accent colour (Many colours looked good I just went with yellow.)

[alykam]

What @evehartman said, and to me it seems that the body proportions are a bit off. Torso and head are little too big for his arms and legs. Other than that, great work.

[Tesat]

In your photobash the warm light from above provide a really good contrast which is needed for the piece but man don't give him too many tips because his paintings are gonna get harder to surpass, at least for me

[jonathan-barker]

Lol @tbrk when any one of us gets better at art the world wins.

[Tesat]

So true haha!

[stefankoidl]

Thanks alot people for your feedback!, i tried to fix the proportions, resized legs head and his right arm, does it look more correct now? i also worked more on the color and on some details, does this go in the right direction? im a little bit unsure about the yellow light in the top of the image, it kinda mixes the head with the background, any suggestions here? i tried to keep it really little.

update: thanks again people

[stefankoidl]

so after a break, i got back to it to finish this up, i worked more on the composition, i think it reads better now, has anybody some suggestions for it?
cheers

[jonatan-moonchild]

has anybody some suggestions for it?

Yeah - keep it up!
But seriously - great work! If I would suggest something, it would be... maybe extend image up a bit to give him more space (so he doesn't have to scream against the edge of the image) and add a touch (touch will be enough) of details on the mountains in the background. But like I wrote - great work and keep it up!

Hi! Seems you entry has incorrect dimensions - read more here.

[baklaher]

Very similar to this illustration - https://www.artstation.com/artwork/q05n2

[toutydroid]

This champion looks really terrifying. Awesome work and I loved the details in his armor and you added the face expressions and weapon mechanics. I loved the ambiance made from the illustration, so dark yet so fascinating.

[toutydroid]

Looks pretty similar

[stefankoidl]

@acolet damn, i think im now to late, didnt saw that the final illustration was cropped that much ._.
Yes yuriy's ilustration was a huge inspiration!
