washka - Hero - Dry tears

[washka]

Wanted to make something dark, I'm a big fan of heroic and dark fantasy.
Have fun on this competition guys!

[Brazucka]

She looks pretty powerful.

[M_Cederstrom]

Nice design. is it a guy or gal?

[washka]

Thanks for the comments.
I think it's a guy... yeah...or maybe a girl. No, it was a guy first, or...
I don't know, it's a sort of dark demon/knight, but could be masculine or feminine. With the armor you can't see her breast so I let the public choose.
If you want to see a man, it's your choice, if you want to see a woman, it's your choice too, heroes choose freeeeeeedom!

I'm still working/changing the charadesign, don't know if I'll keep the wings, I'm messing up with the head/helmet atm and I'm just doing s**t.
There will be a scene [attachment], a tower burning with a lot of smoke on the background, some sort of big fat panda, no the panda was just a joke, some sort of big fat dragon mount carrying some dead/prisoner buddy. Bones, skulls, drama, and there will be a lot of black and obscure darkness, and I'll also add somes shadows, maybe, yeah!

[M_Cederstrom]

that big guy next to him or her :haha: looks mean.:D

[washka]

He devoured some goblins for breakfast but those greenskin are hard to digest.

The red skins one are spice thought. :D:haha:

[animationutz]

like your concept so far, the individual pics looked good enough byitself especially if it looks dark and epic

[Brazucka]

Hello?

[washka]

Some net problems, don't worry I'm sharing my network so It's an habit :)
I did some plate research, sketch etc... because I want to change it.
I started the dragon mount's detail, still have to work on it.
I worked on the hero's pose because it was completly wrong, rebuilding it completly, I've lost a lot of time on the pose, yes I know it's stupid, but I wanted to keep the design and the style so... But now the posing is ok, I can block on it.
And I've been working on the composition, landscape and atmosphere.
Critics and comments are always appreciated, even negatives ones.

[Resenhista]

Wow this is truly getting good...the landscape is promising, and the hero itself looks very cool...I really want so see what's coming next! Great job! =D

[washka]

Thanks Resenhista that's a nice comment. Hope I'll finish this one on time.
Changed the composition again, starting to get some fun with the details:

[noundo]

some darkness style, cool!!
waitin for colors!

[M_Cederstrom]

very cool i love it. :D

[washka]

I don't have decided if I will put some colors on it, but if I do, there won't be a lot :D.
I've been working on the architecture of the tower, I'll post it/edit soon. It's not finished yet, and it has some strange futuristic look, I don't know if it'll work with the rest...
I got too much things on this composition, where is my eraser?
[Edit]
I've got some nice alternative solution if I don't finish it in time :D.

[Resenhista]

hahahaha I lol'd, we have some ultimate alternate entry there xD But seriously, keep your colors to a minimun, it fits better with that mood...unless you put some really desaturated tones...
Theres a ton of details on the structure, incredible...

Finish it in time buddy, you're doing good =D

[washka]

I'll try to finish tonight, If I can't then I'll post my latest version.
Integrating the tower with my messy perspective...I've lost too much time on this tower.
o_O <...arg
I've changed again my compo, this one is the good one, I swear!
Need to work on the overall details, the ambient, finish the hero/mount, still the zombie shadow, the skulls, so much...
Yeah.

[washka]

It's 80% from the original size (300dpi), in 72 dpi:

Here is the final:
There is too much mist...

I wanted to push this one a little more, but I couldn't really finish everything I wanted to do...
Anyway, this is for those who like details:

Very nice style, the armor reminds me of LINEAGE game that i have played for a considerable period of time, that was my favorite game.
Good job & good luck :)

[washka]

Thanks, I've never played the game but I should go look at it :). I used medieval armor reference and added some personal touch. I'm more Diablo 2 or warcraft III, old games now...
