Cool design, but yes, you only have a couple of weeks. You could still make it, but that's entirely up to you mate!

I really enjoy watching your works progression from sketch to more detailed, more finished completion.
I was wondering what resolution / dpi etc, you work in? Or what is your method, your painting i assume is digital work. What programs did you use if i may ask? I am not the best digital painter and am always seeking advice or new ideas.

You were asking for weapon ideas? I get the impression that this character is more of a hand to hand kinda character, or a grappler maybe. Spikes on armor are not aggressive but defensive it seems. Maybe you can incorporate them into slicing, or i was thinking like tubes or funnels to inject fire/heat/lava into his opponents? Maybe he has a artifact guantlet.
Just ideas!

Looking great!

Very nice brush work, design, and concept. Solid. Good luck to you.

[jingudyi]

yeah, CHUCK

i'll try what you suggested for weapons..
i also thought about fire+electric attacks from spikes..or he could chant a spell and shoot some patterns or figures like anime "Kujakuoh"..i don know..hehe

about how i work, i usually start sketching and do color thumb in 2000pixel (100dpi)
and as i render and refine, i make it bigger like 6000 pixel (300dpi).
and i usually use photoshop for painting..use some kind of brushes that i made using texture, dual brush or other features in brush option window..and use photos for texture or subtle color variations..and..i use masking layer for changing color later..hope it will help :)

thanks jacob, great luck to you~

what do you think guys~??


Well, I think that this is freakin' GOOD!

The cloth piece could use some texture elements or ornaments. Right now it's a pretty big surface that coule be broken up a little more. Same goes for the shins...
Head and chest design is awesome! Sweet backdrop as well!

Question remains: where's the artifact? You're still thinking that up I assume?

thanks~ hide

yeah..i would put more details on the clothes and shins as well. thanks for the suggetstions.
the artifact would be the blue orb on the chest..i totally forgot about that..
i would do detailed sketches about that.

[walrus]

I agree, I think you need to make that more clear. Right now the orb just looks like it's a aprt fo his costume, it's not apparent that it's a weapon. It's also not immediately clear whcih oof the magic types it uses, and it probably should be more evident. As beautiful as this picture is - and it and all of your sketches are really gorgrous, don't get me wrong! - it feels like you could take this a lot further with a less static pose and showing him using his magic artifact in some way.

But anyhow, really nice work so far, I love how dynamic your sketches are and the colors are really lovely too. Good luck!

[neversong]

awesome stuff.


keep up wit your good job



cheers,

thanks~ walnus

i just remebered..when i did background sketches, i thought artifact would be the summoned snake-looking mosters..you can see them in his back..and blue orb is the main control jem which activates summoning. After he summons them, he casts some special spells to strengthen them or make them faster, duplicate them or etc..

so...

name : RAMINUS (meaning wise and famouns)

class : Invoker

artifacts : summoning ( legless monsters ) using 11 orbs

behind story : After his sister died from awaking machines, he lost his two eyes from them and became dark invoker using forbidden summoning spells. He was originally really tender wise guy and loved natures and any life forms but his sister's death made him cold killer. His potential power is too strong to control, so the armor which was made of white dragons' skins and bones suppress his power a little and 11 jewels on it activate and control his power. Growing hornes and spikes on his helmet and armor show that he already fused into the armor and his power congestion would come soon...

[RaresH]

Very interesting design. I like that you've kept the line work in your pose image. What I think you can work on some more now is the shading and highlights so that he has more depth and variety of materials. It's coming along nicely. Good luck.

[AxelAlonso]

Hi Jin,

Your Invoker looks awesome!:thumbsup: love the dragon skin concept, really well planed as for the power and history behind I like that!, the colors look so good, maybe you still need some more Fx for showing a more dramatic power? Although I have enjoyed all the steps you are going through! Keep going I wish you the best in this war! :wip: (http://forums.cgsociety.org/misc.php?do=getsmilies&wysiwyg=1&forumid=0#)

[jingudyi]

thanks guys..like you guys said..that piece need a lot of fix..
so that would be just one of the production works,

i am working on other sketches and i will try to finish them this week..

so more dynamic, dramatic scenes are coming..hehe

[The Flork]

awesome stuff man! iv been trying to figure out a cool compusition the past couple of day and youve shown me that just standing there can look awesome haha thanks!

[jingudyi]

hi guys..

thanks for the comments..
I finally finished the piece..
tried more dynamic scenes and liked the first sketch.
tried lightening effects for the summoning..but it's too busy and hide the monsters features..
so i just think firy effects are good enough for it.

so what do you guys think?? (trying to find a good place for the enblem)

[walrus]

I agree, I think the fiery effects are just great! Really nice work rendering those... and the rest of the piece too! Good job.

[jttruong85]

wow, just amazing.

[AxelAlonso]

Great Composition JIN!:scream:

I really like the summons and his faces coming out to attack, the thunder blue pentagram will look really nice, I can tell! The colors excellent as well! Please do hurry up! Can’t wait to see this finished! Great work!

[elhaz]

the last image is looking super awesome!!! luv the summons.

hmm...maybe put the emblem on the summons, kinda like those branding they do to the cows? lol

good luck on winning :thumbsup:

[Gough]

good luck to everyone~!!!

[The Flork]

Oh WTF man! That standing pose was supposed to be your finished one! hahaha this one is to ridicules! haha so awesome! The only thing I would add is some white "john wu" doves flying by to make it that much more epic haha

[Hideyoshi]

Whoa, now it's looking epic!!
Love everything, the wide scene with the floating dude is fantastic!
Great final, man!

[calyx]

Lol Christopher, your comment is hilarious!

But jingudyi, i like your new take with the winning pose :) Nice job! I'd suggest adding more depth though, by blurring out the distant heads, lowering the contrast etc.

Good luck!

[jingudyi]

haha ye..i like the floating one better..so..hehe
anyway thanks guys~

i just added doves and some atmosphere for the back monsters..
it's great to have critiques this quick from different view points.

good luck to all of you~! :)

[SangHanArt]

That's some excellent work! An artist from Flagship? I really like all your process steps, from initial quick sketch to final painting with great composition and action. Good luck!

[geniusdev_anshu]

[jingudyi]

thanks guys~

i fixed some..if you wanna comment more, please do it..

[The Flork]

[DDS]

Reminds me of Darkness (comic book). Freaking sweet how he has all these beasts under his control. Execution is top notch as well.

Best of luck!

[nathanmckenna]

one of my favourite 2d pieces by a long shot

[Alex Novo]

Powerfull work man! Good luck!

[AxelAlonso]

Great illustration style! hard to see thise wash fade-ish colors look that well and in so much depth! great work and concept , I hope for the best!:arteest::thumbsup:

[calyx]

I just noticed you omitted the summoning shiny emblem idea in front of his hand, is there a reason you chose not to in the end? :)

Really liking your initial sketches sheet btw!

[jingudyi]

thanks guys,,

about the glowing emblem, I decided not to put it..
it hide all features of monster and would look busy..so..

but thanks~ good luck with your piece~!!
