I like 4 and 6 of your thumbmails, and I like the last one of your latest thumbnails, the one with the gun. You should think, however, of some kind of protection against all the huge beasts in this war, maybe not armor but something.

[Nihilicon]

I'd agree that 2 has more attitude although 4 and 5 also do it for me. This looks really interesting and different. Looking forward to seeing more.

@Abstractcore:yeah i like them too, but they kinda don't fit the character i have in mind. i think they are too massive.cloth or some light armor is on my todo list ;)
@Nihilicon: nr.2 is definetly the direction i'm heading.want to try some other nasty ones soon though.

i upgraded my summoner idea. he's now just able to summon the glowworms or fireflys from inside minor creatures like rats, mice etc.so to be able to have plenty of them in a fight, he needs to catch and prepare them before. maybe he will throw or shoot them later at his enemies.hm?

Hey Leszek, really nice and original concept, cool !! . The face design and expression on the sketche 2 is really great, I like a lot. And, perhaps, the hat ( I like the hat idea) can be the artifact, someting like a magician, only a comment:). Again, great work and looking forward for more updates! Cheers mate !! :beer:

hey ferx.thank you :) you're right, i thought about the hat being the artifact. it's either that or his waepon. i'm still uncertain. i tried some different hatideas below. also played a little with the facedesign, but it came back to something similar to the former #2.
have to start working on the clothing or armor now. still lots of seperate pieces of a puzzle that need to come together.

I really like these.

5 is very unique, and I like the shape of 8 (especially the hat)...

[Ferx]

Hey Leszek, really cool studies, for me the 1,2, and 3 of the second serie work really well ( reminds me a bit a gremlin, that is cool!!), great expressions and I like a lot the no. 7 top hat . Again, really cool and original concept. Cheers mate!! :beer:

ok.weekend.some time for an update. first of all, thanks for your comments guys. i think i will go for the magician hat direction. still avoiding the armor topic though, but at least i'm quite satisfied with the body.also tried some designs for his weapon. beside the hat all of his equipment should look very handmade. all stuff he found and put together in the way he needed it.so his weapon will be a slingshot to shoot the firefly"bombs". maybe some carvings he put in to underline his status as a king.obviously as a king, he will also have some minions with him to hand the projectiles for the slingshot.(well, maybe it's gonna be just one) the minions are from the same race he once evolved from through the power of the artifact.
as always, any comments are welcome :)

Very nice unique design. I like the horns slingshot designs. I like 2 and 3. 4 is good also however a little bit bulky. Good work! :thumbsup:

[spawnie]

hey guys.time for an update.

@jttruong85: thanks for your comment.i was quite undecided between 3 and 5 but i think i will go for 3 now :)

for today i played around with some sketches for the final pic. it first started with a cave scenario but then i thought it would be kinda cool and more impressing if he came out of a golems chest or belly that he just destroyed.
let me know what you think.

Excellent design, i love his head!
I hope you will find enough time to finish it. Keep it up. I'm impatient to see your color.

[AxelAlonso]

Really cool hat and body design, mostly I like how rat like it’s the character so makes him very fast and clever, I like the final post for your composition in the final shoot of him! Waiting to see how the colors will show up!:thumbsup:

Hi Leszek,

The pose its awesome! the mouse looks big in that composition ( in personality) So well done! the artefact it's not very readable to me ! but I love all the concept behind it! and the character its a great original creature to fight with! BEST OF LUCK! :thumbsup:
