[Riot Creative Contest 2017] Bard and Amumu

Harley94

Hello everyone! I am new to the Polycount forums, and I am excited to be a part of the Riot contest! My illustration will be about the meeting between Bard and Amumu. I imagine that Amumu has disturbed or is about to disturb an encampment, and Bard has decided to intervene by taking pity on the poor mummy. I have a set of thumbnails I have done for this illustration. Please let me know which of these you think I should move forward with!

And here is a sample of some of the references I'm using.

In the end I decided to go with thumbnail D. I've been chugging along on the sketch for this piece before I move on to the lineart and greyscale. Still a lot to work on and improve (the tangents are forming a rebel alliance, for now), but I'll keep you posted!

More progress on my greyscale for the image!

I had the epiphany right before posting this WIP entry that the lower right rock is making the entire composition slightly off-center. I'll be sure to fix that by my next post!

Now that I've gotten the foundations of my shading together, I've begun my first color pass. Please let me know if you have suggestions!

Been working on the colors a lot more lately! I've also started the fine rendering.

Finally finished! I'll be submitting the piece below for this contest. Good luck everyone!



I've also attached my final reference board for this piece below.
