Really great starts guys. Touching on the subject of illustrating these CHOW's versus true Character designing i totally agree with you both...however i also totally disagree :-) but for selfish reasons only. I (like may folks here) dont get much time these days to create my art and have always selfishly used these CHOWs as way to force me into creating a piece of art from start to finish..is that in the spirit of a true CHOW?...no...but i also think that's ok too. And im sure all who have joined in on these CHOW's over the years would probably agree with that sentiment. I would say just create something you think fits the brief and have some fun while you do it. I Think if i was able to be more prolific in my personal illustrating i would certainly dedicate this thread for more true character design challenge...but until that day, we gonna have some fun when we can. So rock out dude!
Lege I Like all your character concepts but I do like your first thumb the best, i think the wide angle provides a fresh aspect ratio to really have some cool stuff happening and behind the tamer, and the contrast in FG/mid/BG is classic here and would make for an easy to read scene, especially if we lighten up the BG just a touch. But if you decide to go in the character design direction i think 3 is the most compelling by having the most potential for cool little details in the outfit and head areas. looking forward to seeing your progress dude.
Joseph, as much as i would prefer the more lingerie style :-) i agree and like your approaches with the warm winter coat/outfit. It will be interesting what you can add to this to really sell the Golem tamer concept. Looking forward to what you do with this.
