Translucent Character Challenge

Ohh! I really like the throne thumbnail! Very powerful look! You are right though, if it's all underwater, there's no walking or stairs (unless it's a sunken temple). I have so many thoughts coursing through my head for this setup... You could make the visitors other sea creatures or humans with diving gear... Very good idea!
I like the sitting pose you gave your sea lady. Much more interesting than sitting up straight.

Very cool! I love how big she is in comparison to these tiny humans in front of her. You also drew her in a very beautiful pose! And yes, it can be a struggle to find good pose references. Maybe you wanna check some Game of Thrones scenes. Maybe an actor takes a pose you can use.

@chrihoonart Can't wait to see more of your jellyfish character. I'm sure it'll look awesome!

Any favorites on the guy? Will work on the dragon design next.

OMG I love all of them hahaha I think that I like the most the first one and the third, but I also super like the "jacket" of the forth one I think that the 1 has too much Chrystals, but he seems worried so mayyybe it's for that reason haha like they are increasing without control. Sorry it's late evening and maybe my comments are not that good hahaha but I wanted to say that I super like him Did you give him a name?

WeirdOwl 2020-09-01 21:46:01 UTC #45

I'm leaning towards combining elements from 1, 3 and 4. My favorite outfits are 3 & 4. Having trouble deciding.
And no, I haven't named him. Should I? Is that a requirement now?

chiara.arcidiaco 2020-09-02 09:13:08 UTC #46

I don't know if this could be a requirement but it can be really interesting hahah to give to our character a bit more personality
Personally If I have to choose the 3 or 4 outfit I think that I prefer the 4, but I don't know it depends on which style you want to follow. The 4 seems more like "futuristic" and the 3 seems more fantasy, maybe with a dragon is better the fantasy one.
Or maybe you can create a steam punk dragon scene hahaha I think that no one has seen it before just kidding, but I have to say that the 1 has a really good I love the fact that the belt seems a super cool elastic of his underpants ahahah

@chiara.arcidiaco
Yooooo. That illustration thumbnail is so cool. I'm a big fan of the composition.

@WeirdOwl
Hmm... I appear to be in the minority but I actually like the top right one haha. I think it might be because I like the contrast of the simple outfit and the complicated crystal designs? Not too sure why, but it speaks to me!

jazzy 2020-09-02 13:34:50 UTC #48

Ooh! I quite like the design on the right!

WeirdOwl 2020-09-02 13:39:32 UTC #49

@chiara.arcidiaco hrm... maybe fantasy or cyberpunk. I'm really shitty with names though, just a fair warning

@chrihoonart no problem to have a different opinion! I just realized when I was looking at the designs that top right reminds me of the buff guys showing off at the gyms. Not exactly the personality I was going for here.

@jazzy Top right? Bottom right?

jazzy 2020-09-02 13:40:35 UTC #50

@WeirdOwl Bottom right! Sorry I still haven't had my morning coffee hides

WeirdOwl 2020-09-02 13:50:37 UTC #51

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.

jazzy 2020-09-02 15:50:26 UTC #52

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

WeirdOwl 2020-09-02 15:54:18 UTC #53

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

jazzy 2020-09-02 15:58:52 UTC #54

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.

IndrawnArt 2020-09-02 16:26:26 UTC #55

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?

IndrawnArt 2020-09-02 16:28:11 UTC #56

Don't get stabbed by your pictures! That hurts! XD
I love the idea of the glowing skeleton!

chiara.arcidiaco 2020-09-05 22:35:28 UTC #57

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

WeirdOwl 2020-09-05 22:59:22 UTC #58

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

WeirdOwl 2020-09-06 01:34:02 UTC #59

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 ).
Any critique about composition/design?

chiara.arcidiaco 2020-09-06 10:15:47 UTC #60

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.
