CL1NT has entered the competition!

This character just randomly popped into my mind when i saw one of those sun face sculpture things.

A little backstory i made up:
Some dark force has destroyed the sun and the planets have entered a cold darkness.. blah blah blah. The sun sent his two sons to earth before exploding. One was immediately captured and banished by the dark forces. The other, Arun has awakened on earth and now sets out on a journey on the dark and altered planet to find his brother and restore the sun to the galaxy. Yaaaaaaaay.

First concept. Just kind of playing with the idea. Expect more variations.

Three looks pretty cool, but I think I'll pick your initial concept.

[Japhir]

oh damn how did i not see this one? :p really like it! especially the proportions in 5. if you could give that one the gear/weapon from 3 it would be great!

When I first saw your thumbnail, I thought you would be making a kid sun-god type of character. A little body with a big sun-like head might have been cute:p

Now that I see your additional sketches, although a kid sun character could be cool, my fav in your new sketches would be no.5... but maybe with a bigger head?

Nice work man:thumb:

5 has a rather generic computer game character pose. I like the cheery number 3 with his stumpy little legs, interesting sun mace and endearing facial expression.

[Amethyst]

Hi there, nice drawings. It will be interesting to see what you choose to do.
Can't wait for an update........

I myself am somewhat partial to my #4. It was the first one I sketched and as i sketched the others, I always felt my initial sketch(#4) captured my character best as being youthful, agile, and wise, shooting for a style similar to adult link. Haha I wasnt exactly expecting everyone to like the #5 proportions. The skinny limbs/big forearm thing is something ive seen replicated many times and i just kind of threw it in there. I would agree in that 3 has the most character and the better weapon design but hes just not as youthful as i wanted.

Ill have plenty of time to mess with this over Xmas break so ill be sure and play with 3,4 and 5 and post some more sketches!:D

Is number 4 holding a dead rat?

[Kalango]

imo the number 3 is rocking :) could work p´retty well.
Sick design man keep it up.

[GutsandBolts]

the armor on number 2 is really quite interesting. Perhaps a combo of his body with 4's head?

[CL1NT]

I think ive finally got something that im starting to like. Holidays are over now so i have about 2 or 3 weeks with nothing to do but a light work schedule so i should be able to get some stuff done with this compe. Ill wait for some comments on this but im probably going to go with the concept on the right and start trying out some colors. Enjoy :)
