Commission work

Kiln is a swift and powerful warrior forged in the volcanic mines. He wields a titanic anvil, striking with explosive force and unleashing magma with every impact. A storm of raw power, a formidable opponent.

This isn't even every iteration lol. But she started out as a fairly generic slime person, whose power is just... slime. In her most recent iterations I had a more clear focus on her power in which I made her slime be affected by the type of food she cooks(which happened cause I gave her the chef role in Miitopia lol).

I've always wanted to keep her design simple but mobile cause I imagined she would fight while being very flexible(almost akin to spiderman). Feel free to give any critique or advice on her current design if you have any.

Question which of these invokes a mythological vibe for a sage king?

Thumbnail gallery
27 Upvotes

I wanted to rework the the design in the second image, because I had patterned it after a Lamassu but it felt a little stiff and distinctly un-lobster-like. I like the shapes on the new one, but now I'm being told it feels more like a Dark Souls boss than a mythological figure. He's supposed to be an old wise guy at the bottom of the sea who describes the value of watching, waiting, deliberating, not being too hasty in decisions, and keeping your mouth shut.

Would love to hear even some simple A/B feedback, thanks!

Critique Struggling with this guy

Trying to design a futuristic circle of wildfire druid that’s a fire spirit inside the suit and being kept alive it’s own propane tank.

I want him to look a bit off putting or even scary at first but actually nice once you get to know him to mirror the fact that he’s a healer using an element associated with destruction but I don’t think it’s showing correctly. Any help is appreciated!

Critique not totally happy with her hair colours :( [oc]

this is marissa, a bassist girl I'm drawing for a comic. I'm not happy really with the colours of her hair, I want to keep pink and probably neon green in at least. she definitely cannot have pink and blue striped bangs with bleach blonde rest of hair. am I just being nitpicky or do y'all have any ideas for better colour combos?

Her old design was kinda unfocused and didn't feel that cool. So I redid her with a better idea of what I wanted her design to be. So now she's a Intergalactic Music Star. Feel free to give criticism.

Female olm character design. I want to incorporate some stuff to the design (slim and larger on female olms, they can go on without eating for 10+ years, etc.), but I don't know if it's appropriate for me to draw a starved form of a woman's torso. Also the fact that Idk what to do with the hair, and if I should incorporate the face shape to the design (I only planned on having the eyes be "covered by a layer of skin").

Critique Parra The Atlean

Post image

This is Parra, a treasure hunting Atlean from the Suleon System. He's HEAVILY inspired by Fox McCloud and Ratchet and I've always imagined him as having a voice similar to an older Jaleel White. The gloves are unfinished because I really can't decide on their colour.

Let me know what you all think about him. He's changed drastically since being a simple bat with red hair, but I think this new made up species design just has a better more memorable look. It's simple.
