Zeen is a sweet warrior from light, and owner of the most sweet and awesome circus in the planet.

Hey! I'm so into this, I choose Light.
At the beginning I thought, a candy warrior, but then I realized that there's so much characters that fits into this, so I gave it a twist and made a candy tamer, a warrior that can summon candy creatures, hordes of gummybears that can slow you down and cast sweet liquids for the allies in trouble. This is just the first sketch, I will add some more features and items to make it look much more sweet. And of course, color, lots of color

Any advices and critiques will be well recieved

Love the movement and the expression in this sketch! Can’t wait to see him developed further

Did some color variations, I like 3 the most, I didn't wanted to make it red as the typical suit, but I think with that little tweek on the red half way to magenta is so much better, plus, the green jacket and the cyan color makes it look like a sour straw. And compared to the other 2, this one is so much more alive and more important, it doesn't look like other candy characters.

What a fun expression!
I actually like the colors in 1 and 2 more than the red because they harmonize well and are a bit more unexpected... Maybe it's just that neon green gummy on the shoulder that throws it off (it really draws the eye a bit too much with how saturated it is.)
Great design and really fun approach to the challenge., looking forward to seeing more. Good luck and have fun!

number 3 please

I really like the way the whip is multi-colored in the third version. I’m personally leaning towards 2, but with a colored whip and a more prominent, brighter color rather than the subtle pink you have for the gummy bear and whip handle. I do really like 3, but my eyes keep getting caught on that reallyyyy bright gummy bear and getting stuck. Maybe making the eyes more neon than the bear would help, since the outline on the bear is currently giving it the illusion that it’s more neon than the eye. Hope that helps

Love the idea of your champion! My personal preference is design three; I love the colours in the design

Hey! I was out for vacation but now I'm ready to continue with this; I'm not sure if this works for the concept sheet if I do it from behind too.
I'm playing with the skin to add some stripes or stains in the scales.

What do you say?

I've been a bit out of rythm since I had a lot of work, but I did some sketches. I plan to do some more of course

I like the vertical version, but I think the horizontal tells more that he comes with an army behind. Maybe if I make the creatures looks a bit smaller in the horizontal version, or maybe enlarge the main character and give some more sky to the comp; I will keep working on it

Looks freakin awesome man! I like the one on the bottom right!

Hey! this is taking so long because of the characters, in fact, I want to put some more characters in the right too. And figure out what to do with the left side.

Hey! Now that everyone has they art finished, I want to share the big amount of references I gathered for this piece. Good luck to everyone!
