Crimson CHOW #58 Elemental Mage

[Lege1]

Crimson Character of the week #58

-=  ELEMENTAL MAGE=-

This week's theme and brief by previous winner, Lege1

This rounds challenge will be to design a unique and dynamic Elemental Mage. Design a character who harnesses the powers of all elements or just one. They could have a flowing robe adorned with symbols of fire, water / ice, earth, and air, or they could just represent one element. Their staff or wand could emit energy representing the element, or elements, they are controlling.

Your character can be male, or female, adult or child, but must be human. The idea of the character being dynamic is to show the character wielding its power element in the most dynamic way, think of the character in a sense where they might even be losing their gravity. Also, be sure to take advantage of the drapery aspect of this challenge regarding the costume, dynamic costume going along with some really energetic and dynamic anatomy; try to create an image that seems like it is moving although it is still. 

Let's see what you all can conjure up and who comes out in the end as the grand wizard!

Guidelines:

• No photograph paint overs, must be 100% original work. (See next rule for exception)
  
• 3D is permitted and renders MAY be used as whole or in part of a painting, as long as YOU created the work. Pre-made and/or purchased, online, assets are forbidden.

• Studies are recommended, but not required.
  
• There is no restriction on image formats (horizontal, vertical, square).
  
• Environment backgrounds are optional.
  
• Keep in mind you are not required to stick to what is in the passage. It is more of a guide in terms of mood.

• Finals must be posted in the finals thread before the deadline.
  
• At least 3/4 of the character must be visible (minimum from the knees up).
