Hey I'm a first timer both to ArtWar and to art competitions. I do mostly character designs so figured this could be my thing :smile:

I chose the side of light and my "Yin the overcome" as my champion.
There's still some different experimentation to do though a few characteristics may already have stuck the landing.

His design is of course based on the Yin and Yang.

Some early sketches

I chose light as my warriors theme. I wanted to make something less "pure" light and hint at struggle behind . I going with a traditional Japanese mythology and incorporating Yin and Yang into the piece though with Yang (light) taking a front stage in terms of drama.

I'd love some tips and critique :blush:

So here the line art for the final illustration. Thanks to help from family I've adopted Art Nouveau style with some inspiration from Japanese traditional art and Shinto themes.
