Im in the midst of catching back up on classes, since i started every bit of term 3 and didnt finish any.....but im about half done now. I have also started a reskin design for street fighter over on my thread.....aaaaannnnd I am also participating in a Legend of Zelda design challenge. But I didnt want to forget about the challenge here so i thought i would at the very least state my intentions. I would like to do a picture of Crystal Boy, from the Space Adventure Cobra.

Wow, you've been busy. And you're progressing super fast! Can't wait to see your take on the Crystal Boy. He looks complex.
Which platform is doing the Zelda Challenge?

Oh yeah! I've been meaning to ask you how do you like learning from Trent and how does it compare to Marc's classes?

Hey guys, so here's my WIP with the values. Wanted to check with you all if they read ok. Still not sure about the bright/dark intensity on the guy himself (I have a feeling Marc will say "make brighter", but I wanted to make him the emphasis by having the darkest tones. Any recommendations?

My initial thought was actually "make him brighter". :sweat_smile: My eye gets drawn to his dragon :smirk: a bit more right now. I think you lose too much detail on his back and face. And I guess we all wanna see these details.
Maybe you should introduce some more light to your main character and make his crystals glow?
And I luv it! :heart_eyes: Can't wait to see what colors you'll use.

I heard you @IndrawnArt :smile: Added some dramatic light. Better? Worse? About the same?

This second one is all way better. I think that before the range of values was too, short haha I don't know how to say it :joy: And I love the fabric texture, very appealing :heart_eyes:

Hey guys. I need help deciding. Which colors do you all like better?

Vika I wanted to see it here with better quality, and it's definitely better hahah his shirt is so, wow :heart_eyes: one thing that is kinda strange is the back, like the lats/erector spinae/obliques zone, but maybe it's right hahah I don't usually draw a lot of backs :joy: You're really nailing it.

Where is it located? it's not so easy to figured it out from the background, I'm curious sorry hahah

But now I noticed that the first thing that I see is the square on the shirt, maybe you could tone down the contrast a bit, no it's too beautiful hahah I don't know his face is not so important right now.

Now I go to my work or I will not finish it on time hahah Thanks for sharing all the process here :grin:

Hard to say. I like the red one on its own but the blue one fits the whole image better to my eyes. Either way would you be able to bring some of that darker color to the top just a little to unify the whole piece?

instead I think that the red is better, as the complentary of blue, let's say light blue hahah Vika will tell us what she has chosen :smirk: :joy:

I chose somewhere in-between. :sweat_smile: I'll show you guys in a couple of days. Taking a break, so I can look at the art with fresh eyes.
Where are the rest of the submissions? I wanna see more cool art!

Some progress. I tried to make my character standing instead of sitting but I'm still not sure, so I started rendering the background due to the fact that she will be mostly trasparent :sweat_smile: Still WIP, thank god that we have more days added to the challenge hahah

There will be more atm perspective (maybe... water perspective? :joy:) and I wanted to make the little guys smaller and maybe more like sea creatures, what do you think? If you have any advice let me know :relaxed:

Oh Chiara (tchee-harrah, for those in the know) !! That's shaping up to be wonderful.

I do hope you go absolutely ham with the water caustic light effects, sea creatures, and underwater light rays coming from the dome structure. Dis gon be gud. Big thumbs up!

This looks awesome. Can't wait to see her.

Looking at everyone's significant progress within this program gets me extremely excited for where my own work will be in a few months and years..

Everyone is making such good progress!!

I ended up suddenly moving internationally so I don't know if I'll make it by the deadline, but I'll definitely be keeping up with this thread to see the end results!

Alright Ladies and gentlemen, I think I'm done (or at least I don't feel like polishing anymore :joy:) Thanks everyone for the feedback. Looking forward to seeing everyone's submissions.

Here's my progress so far. I've been rendering and rendering. XD I'll try to add some color tomorrow.
I added some friends of my sea creature chilling in the background. Wanna hang out, too? XD

Wow guys! Your submissions are so damn awesome! I love your dude and his dragon @WeirdOwl! The colors are well chosen and these crystals look awesome! Like they glow from the inside and the markings on the dragon and the guy's face really connect them. Well done!!!

I love your throne room for your queen, @chiara.arcidiaco. It'll look great when you place your characters in the scene. Maybe you wanna introduce some gold into the picture. Adding golden design elements to her outfit and/or a treasure she is protecting?
