WIII - 2D - Kinonato - YVysator

Hi guys, newbie reporting in.

Been planing to joint the war for long time.

So here’s my concept.
The character class I plan to enter is Warlord.

The title of my artwork is <the pride of Kouhagan>
Well I do story writing my self (for fun), so here the prince and his tragic kingdom.

Name: Vysator kor Kouhagan
Race: human
Class: Warlord
Artifact Weapon: Amulet "The morning star "

++ what you need to know ++
The character is the last descendant from a royal family which fell from its ruling power over the land because of the war. However the Kouhagan are a clan of human that are born battle feet. Almost as they are born only to battle. To feet their throne, the Kouhagan family learn to enhance their battle ability by surgically implant an Iron beetle lava to their infantry, thus the army of Kouhagsan need no steel plate nor sharp edge in the battlefield. For the larva implanted on their body grant them not only armor but also weapon that hardness may champion mettle works.Efficient attacks could tare mettle craft to bits. The Artifact Weapon he uses is an amulet call "The morning star " is an artifect that could enhance the power of the Iron Beetle.

++ further reading ++
The Kouhagan clan has many secret up their sleeves. Not every descendant in the clan could successfully implant the lava, many lava would die if the carrier reject the implantation. If the implant is to be successful, the lava must survive the implant, not only through the process, but also it must live on in the host.

The Iron Beetle are aggressive creature, when the lava survive the implantation, some case may take over the control over the host body, leaving the host conscious but not in control. However it is a symbiotic relation between the host and the beettle.

The beetle drain nutraien from the host body, if the beetle realized that the host body is not providing the necessary nutrients that it needs, the beetle may take control of the host body, there have never been cases where the beetle would give up the control over the host. so the Kouhagan need to watch over their diet in a serious manner.

The lava implanted in a Kouhagan means an additional organ to the host. It could receive neural spark and react directly to the brain of the host. There for, the host could manipulate shape of the shell to generate weapon like extension. Which is the main reason why the Kouhagan become the perfect battle species.

The Kouhagan are generally human being. Because the environment of their cause of origin, their diet contain higher argentum then any other planet, the blood in their vain are green. Which is one of the reason why the Iron Beetle implantation are possible. Substance that made our blood runs read, iron, substance that made the blood runs blue, copper. not proven but my theory says that argentum makes then runs red.

Sorry too much writing, promise there will be picture soon. Perhaps some changes soon.

This is the head design for my character. i wanted it to look like a bug head :stuck_out_tongue:


#3

I wanted something shell like, but not too organic, I guess this is ok.

Great drawings, Kinonato! I really like where you’re going with this. It’s hard to say which headpiece I like best - all of the ones with horns have great silhouettes and some unique forms… I like the one you sketched out, but I also really like the one on the far right second from the top (the one with both a 3/4 view and a side view.) It would be nice to see the bodies taken a bit further: The hears have such extreme silhouettes with their horns, and the bodies have no horns at all, and all basically human outlines. Maybe see what happens when you push that further.
Good luck!


#5

ooh, that’s definitely along my tastes! :slight_smile:
The head dsign is great and the whole character gives a Guyver vibe which is coo!
Looking forward!


#6

Heres the update of my concept, suddentlly running low in ideas for the leg, any idea for the shoulder??

ps:
Hideyoshi, thanks for checking out my works, :stuck_out_tongue: I Like ur ideas too, especially the lady with the crow.


#7

wow totally cool guy! :smiley: great idea with the insect exoskel look and that beetlehornlike stuff and wingy things! looking really cool and original.

about shoulder and hips, perhaps break the mainstream trend of bulky pads and stuff? maybe a more streamlined solution? if you avoid bulky typical knight:ish or spacemarine:ish shoulderpads the elegant stuff like the style given by the protruding stuff like wings and horns would be more dominant… I vote for close-to-anatomy shoulder and hip solutions (but no CLAMP-like straight thin hips… men with broad hips (atleast at mouscles under waist) are sexy!)
ps: protruding stuff from shoulders and/or hips seems cool too though… but I vote for something integral to his body if so… so… not something you dress up in…
well those are my silly ideas :slight_smile:

hope to see more! :slight_smile: great ideas, keep it up!


#8

Lovely man. This root-insect like armor is so alive and organic!!! Wanna see more. See ya!

#9

the design totally reminds me of something I have NO idea what right now…

maybe try something like this for ideas?


#10

thanks for reading, appreciate it. and heares the final copncept, i like it my self, and erik_j, i think this is what u mean :stuck_out_tongue:
Now I really have to start my winning pose.


#11

This is nice.

Gorgeous stuff here, mister. A definite Gyuver/Devilman thing happening, but unique enough not to come across as just a variation of either. You found a solid balance between elegance and badass that a lot of designs try for (and fail). I’m especially glad your final design seems to fit with erik_j’s advice and goes for something sleek, rather than this suffocating trend of already bulky dudes burried in thick armor.

Are those the final colours you’re going with too? It might be a bit stronger if you bring a little more into that flat grey. Even just a little tonal variation will make all those little details you’ve worked so hard on a bit more noticable.


#13

Now that is freaky. The concept, in therms of design, however seems to be closer to sci fi than to medieval fantasy. Are you sure its compatible with the rules?


#14

Wow! Really kool character design you have there :slight_smile: It seems both agile and at the same time well protected.


#15

Yey! Wanna see more of this. The last image is really cool. Is he going to be all dark?

to : Miqosis
First of , thank you for running thought my thread.
About the flat grey, yes I was trying to “un-flat” it, difficult but still trying, thanks for the crit.

to : emorhconoM
I guess medieval dose not discriminate odd shape does it??, Just my point of view, anyway thank you for your concern, I was worried at first, well then again, I might lose the competition, if so well my idea spoken, which is more then enough; if I win, may be you will see a screenful of black\ dark buggy units crawling across the screen:) wish me luck. I’m sure I’ll be needing it.

to : evryone thanks for the support :slight_smile:

be updating this thread later this evening :slight_smile:


#17

Ok this is a bad start, i really hav to redo this, emmmmm, the grey is still flat, i tried wit a littlwe green on the shouder and stuff but not working.


#18

its somethink i like to do, not needed, but i like it, I have alweays wanted to do comic scriping. :slight_smile:

I think the flag at the right end is nice, think I’ll keep it in the final.


#19

He he, I had something similar in mind for my character, explaining how he came to be the creature he is now :slight_smile: But I’m already way behind. No time…

Sweet work :thumbsup:
