Final Submission.
Combined concept sheet for the contest of character design and some of the important sketches in my development of the idea.
Rough thumbnail, my best one after trying to encapsulate best ideas into one.
Laying in rough values as a sketch.
Experimenting with positioning.
Rough lineart to begin painting.
Character design.
Character armor color test.
Character armor color test. I liked these colors better, and someone pointed out the warm colors would pop forward more than the blues of the other idea.
Laying in values; moved the wing behind the main character so the contrast and flow worked better with less tangents to pieces of the armor.
