We never do, but that may be a good thing. It keeps us moving forward :).
Can't see where you go from here mate!

Forgot to post this Update to the Wizard Guy

That's a pretty cool design. I love the helmet and the whole aesthetic of the suit. It definitely gives a bit of a bug-like design, but without being too obvious.

One minor thing that I wonder if it would work is adding a bit of color variations. Right now the character has different shades of gray on different parts of it's armor, but all look like straight grays. Maybe playing with warm and cool grays could add just a little bit of extra interest. Like the darker section being cooler and the lighter ones warmer, or vice-versa. I'm not sure if that would work, but I'm just giving you the idea in case you hadn't thought about it.

With that said, I can't wait to see how he turns out!

Thanks for the feedback. I haven't thought about changing the grays too much. I will be playing with colors soon though. I want to have a solid design first. I suck at colors and I regret not figuring them out sooner.

Amazing body of work you got here. Looking forward in seeing more!

For Fun I did a quick sketch of Marc's female character from ArtSchool. It would need more polish but it was a fun and quick study

malcom 2018-09-19 00:43:04 UTC #375

Thank you. Glad you like it. Hopefully I can do it some justice with colors.

malcom 2018-09-24 18:24:25 UTC #376

New WIP
Not sure what other elements I can add but this is fun so far

malcom 2018-09-24 22:42:57 UTC #377

Mostly Finished. Some more refection stuff to add and we can call this done.

malcom 2018-09-27 04:55:09 UTC #378

I decided to push this guy to almost finish. I struggled with colors. Would still love some feedback on this so far.

It definitely looks better with the subtle colors in there. I dig the way the magic spells illuminate the character. It would be cool to see some action poses too, like throwing a hadoken or something.

cedricgo 2018-09-27 13:36:12 UTC #380

Holy crap Malcom! That came out really well. I really like the colors you've went withand the ambience of the finished illustration. Great job man

malcom 2018-09-27 19:47:02 UTC #381

@caffeinatedbrushes Thanks a lot. I will be working on action poses as well.
@cedricgo Thank you. Glad you like it.

malcom 2018-09-29 10:44:50 UTC #382

This should be the final. Action poses should come tomorrow

Serfer 2018-09-29 12:19:07 UTC #383

Wow, very cool design. You can see clearly Marc's style influence!
If this helps, I think in that reflection you should be able to see part of the feet, but it's just a detail.
