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!
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…
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.
Your Invoker looks awesome! 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:
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!
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)
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! Cant wait to see this finished! Great work!
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
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.
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!
