I like the color palette of D. I like that you kept the purple a bit with the addition of teal and orange. The only thing I would say is his helmet/head doesn't fully read Kassadin to me. I do get that it's a redesign as well though.
I'm kinda partial to D. Playing with a cool palette that has warm accents makes that guy pop. I'm not too familiar with the character, personally, but I really like that silhouette you've got going on.
Boo! I like C and E better! Just kidding! Great work! I don't know what you did with the proportions but whatever it was, good job! It really feels right now. Good pose too. Sometimes making those symmetrical poses strong can be hard for me but you nailed it. I can really picture him floating around the rift... he's gonna come get me!
Ok, I have a new contract so my progress will not be as fast on this competition as I would like but I am still in (have to pay the bills). Here is doodle from this afternoon.
OK, I know that I have been gone a while. The contracts that I have been working on are coming close to completion, and I have some time sue to the holidays. So I started on my sculpt!
Update! I tweaked the head and torso to more closely follow the concept that I previously posted. I will be blocking out the hands and feet next followed by a general anatomy tweak.
I appreciate all of the feedback I have been getting. I took a look at Kassadin again and also at my concept. I tried to figure out places that I could pull the concept more in line with the original character. The biggest place is in the forearm shapes, I could change these with out messing up the silhouette of the original design and yet still capture more of the original Kassadin feel.
This is the low poly model out maya, rendered as a png. I threw a back ground gradient and stroke on it in photoshop. Trying to avoid the flat bachground, itmakes everything look boring.
Nice did you get the inspiration from the Protoss race?
I did not. I dont play starcraft so I had to look them up to find out what they looked like, but I can DEFINATELY see why you would think so! Man if I had seen them it would have definately been a huge inspiration.

Really rough but I liked the direction. I will see what I can do about adjusting the proportions and of course fixing the hands.
Keep it up!

It is pretty early on and a bit rough.
Goodluck!
Visual Upgrade.
Kassadin is looking real sweet! Nice job man.
Thanks Anoif!
