Testing composition and trying to find shapes for my huge robot in the background.

Okey so ive come up with some basic colours but things still looks pretty rough. I will try to define things more and make the contrast more obvious.
This Image will represent Hachiman, the shinto God of War and his servant the huge robot in the background

Okey so now ive worked more on the details upfront/middleground, flipping the composition to what originaly was ment, and refined some of the contrast. Still it doesnt look very japanese but i will have that changed, this is too sci-fi for more taste, and i will have that fixed to some degree.
Hope you enjoy it so far

Hi again. Ive been chaning the character abit but still not that obvious celtic "warrior" look you use to think about, But i dont want those huge furs, i want something a littlebit more sexy, and classy. Im not sure if i can make this work with the celtic theme. If someone has suggestion please let me know!
Cheers

Oh and here is the image for previous post. Okey i will try not to confuse you too much but ive been looking around alot of mythology latly and I eventually changed my concept from Celtic to japanese shinto myth about the war god Hachiman. It suited my original concept about strong colors alot better.

Hachiman is the Shinto god of war, and divine protector of Japan. What people did not know of was the existence of Hachimans machine. The huge servant which was used for fighting and protection.

Wow you have some great detial here. The composition could be greatly improved by cropping the image so that the negative space to the right of the huge hand is gone. Those ares are very distracting. Yes you would loose some nice detail but more importantly this would put more focus on your characters imo. Maybe even pose the hand into a fist...Good luck! really nice colours too. I like your first colour concept.

Ooh I love the colors on this one. Really like the water and the glass looking dome on the robots back. Cant wait to see the final!

Wow that is really cool, nice colour! The arm going out of the page and then coming back in is a really great idea! It messes with the mind and enhances the perspective and scale of the thing really cool!

[Rivenis]

you are a master of colour, great image man, spellbinding and powerful. good luck!

[ewkn]

Thanks everyone. I think the last submitted image will stay as the final one. Hope you like it
