Great work everyone, I’m going to write some comments on the next page, but i’m amazed with everyone pieces, looking good,

I ended up tweeking the jag, and gave it final touches, thanks for the comment gaesasherald, switched the eyes to green to give it more punch. I decided to do another concept, anyways i’ll post them up here, and any feedback would be good, the second one has some final tweeks, i’ll try to finish it up for tommorow, and chosse one for the submission. Cheers

Studiomonkey, thats lookiging great, I like the style.

CharlesVarenne, Id say B, but really push it. Make her abit more sinister.

So many to name, so little time.

OKMER, loving your critter, make it more alien, looks too indiginous.

Sepulverture, he looks pretty official, maybey some scars and a more powerful stance will help.

Ive decided to go for my second option, updates soon.

hey Ferx, I got used to seeing the logo on the flag, so now it doesn’t look right without it, I tried a darker background, but then the image was way too dark. I still might scrap the whole image and start over, still not sure, thanks for your input, glad you dig the design. I really like your design as well, nice colors.

rupy; cool design, like the sash.

gatlingg; looks awesome, it’s a bit dark tough, but it’s works. when I first saw your sketch I pictured more vibrant colors, especially that bad ass collar piece.

ataulfo; this image looks cool in grayscale for some reason, I like the headdress, great texture on the face.

vhase; looks cool, nice lighting

well this may be it for me, unless I start another one, let me know what you think guys:

Let’s do this! Saw the mini challenge for war generals and couldn’t help but do one, definitely looks fun but i need time to figure out how to submit and stuff… probably will do up some details later.

#599

Hey Krypt

Really nice render.
Just a suggestion, there is to me a lack of military, aggressiveness, boldness or something like that to be a military. Just a tiny bit missing.
Anyway great stuff.

Once again really happy to see all the C&C, big thanks for all the helps and supports, really appreciate it . It nice to also see everyone’s interpretations, very inspirational. Never the less, here is a quick update on general, still in progress, so wish I could submit the full body shot , but I think the judges will kill me for that :stuck_out_tongue: , once again all C&C are welcome :slight_smile:
