[Riot Creative Contest 2017] Steel Specter Camille

ijur

Decided to enter this time, I'm choosing Camille. A new character with cool concept, too bad she's only has few skin options so I'm gonna make her new one. The theme is basically futuristic/robotic with demonic taste. Can't think of any cooler name, so she's gonna be 'Steel Specter' until further notice (open to suggestion) 

Now I'm torn with these two thumbnails:

I really like the flow with this one. Splitting image in the center with flashing effect could be a good point. the downside is the knee and torso part is somewhat hidden so a little bit hard to showcase the design, and the pose is a little bit generic


With this one, I love the pose, the movement rather unique and the front body part is seen clearly to show the design (too bad the hookshot apparatus isn't seen clearly though). Although it's a little bit worrying if I put flashing effects on the top the overall image will be imbalance (top heavy)

deciding on the second composition and tighten up the sketch


initial color attempt


finally I could work again on this piece. I think I could make it in time. Thank you for all the comments

I like the first one, the pose has more cohesive movement. Whereas the second one, to me, it seems like the leg is doing all the work if that makes sense. Whatever you do I'm excited to see! loving it so far.

ijur

@MenoOG agreed, but I think I should reworked the sketch if I'm gonna go with the first, because the more I see it the legs more like resemble hook than scythe

If you're going for a futuristic dark metal design, why dont you go straight for a project skin ? Having an unclear theme that doesnt communicate well, weakens the piece in my opinion.

Darkzan

Im really glad that you choose the second thumbnail to work with. Looks great! 

ijur

@Silvarspark simply because I don't want to cover her face  
is that a bad excuse?

MenoOG

I wouldn't worry too much about the theme considering riot pulls them out their ass, like: warden, marauder, shadowfire, amethyst etc. These themes aren't very clear your skin is different enough, it has a unique antiquated look to it(which I like very much). Program, Mecha and Project co-exist so I'm sure Steel Specter can exist alongside them. Here we have literally a steel woman who works unbeknownst to those around her- therefore specter. Vuala Steel Specter Camille lol. Excited to see next update.
