Haha. No problem @jazzy. I'm only halfway through mine. Thank you for the input! I'm leaning towards that one as well. Except the crystal pattern. I like it better on bottom left.

I'm gonna take a stab at bioluminescence (or it might stab me)

Very nice! Underwater theme with glowing skeleton? Great proportions.

Thanks! :3 And that is the planned theme. Might end up turning him into a not so unique poseidon. But for now, I work as a slave to Starbucks.

So I really like all of them! But that wouldn't be much help. I love the idea of the open jacket a lot. Show his sexy back, please! XD Maybe No. 1 has a bit too much crystals. A combination of no. 1 and 4?

Guys I was thinking during the stream that mayyybe Marc could post the winner in the cubebrush page on instagram? But I don't know if there will be an actual winner, we have different skill level. let me know what you think :innocent:

We can always ask him to do a multi-image post. He can choose himself what order to arrange the art though.

So while watching the livestream I did the sketch for this challenge including comments from you all about the guy (sorry @chiara.arcidiaco still haven't named him, but you can give him a code name if you want :smile:).
Any critique about composition/design?

I LOVE it hahah this is so great... I really like the elements of his clothes and his facial expression is really intense.

One saddle thing that I would change is the canvas size, to make the emphasis more clear with the thirds composition and make the elbow not so near to the edge of the canvas. Forgive me I give it a try downloading it and I was thinking something like this.

Thanks Chiara! I can see your point giving them a little more breathing room in the canvas.
Maybe more like this?

Yes I think that it's better, even if it was awesome just before hahah I'm so damn curious how you will render those crystals :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes: And I forgot to say that I love the idea of crystal teeth of the dragon hahah I didn't expect that :joy:

I'm very nervous to approach this render. :sweat_smile:
Btw, when are we gonna see an update on your Queen of the Deep?

I have still to polish my lineart but hopefully tomorrow I will show you something :smirk: haha
My problem is that the more references I see the more ideas I get and then my previous idea seems updated to me... I don't know hahah I try to not rush on it but there are also cons on this method :sweat_smile:

Make three design ideas and show us. We'll tell you which combination we like most. :grinning:

Thank you. I've never done dragons, so it's very challenging.

As you asked @WeirdOwl here is a wip lineart of my project


I'm not too sure about perspective and by the fact that she is not so big in comparison to all the canvas and maybe I'm focusing more on the illustration than the challenge itself... I don't know if you have any advice it will be really helpful.

And @jazzy I love your design because he could totally be the husband of my character hahahah

Chiara yay! I'm happy you're going with this idea. I really like the imposing greatness of the Queen. I'm gonna do here what you did to me :smile: How about a golden spiral proportion?

Everything else in the environment seemed irrelevant to her greatness. :joy:

ohhh Vika this looks great... it totally changed my perspective in a good way hahah I have never done this kind of ratio but, why not :joy: best way to start :grin:
