Surtr WIP
Meant to be the fire giant Surtr who's grand role is played during Ragnarok... I realized after I had finished the design, that he's suppose to have fire hair and flaming armor... so lets call this a very loose interpretation.
Any critique is totally appreciated

S.C.G.C.S (Stereotypical Cool Guy Cyborg Soldier)
Kind of losing sight as to what changes affect this positively. I tried to keep the overall piece loose, but what mostly kept me busy was anatomical problems involving the legs. The background and color came as a later addition, but I thought that in the cropped image they add a good cinematic effect.
As usual, critiques welcome.
New Prompt: Submersible
I thought this picture was funny.
Wikipedia entry: "A submersible is a small vehicle designed to operate underwater. The term submersible is often used to differentiate from other underwater vehicles known as submarines, in that a submarine is a fully autonomous craft, capable of renewing its own power and breathing air, whereas a submersible is usually supported by a surface vessel, platform, shore team or sometimes a larger submarine."

Archipelago
Getting frustrated. Every time I add a new layer, I paint for 20 minutes, turn the layer off, and realize the painting was better before I changed it. I've tried adding all kinds of boats and structures, but I fail to fit them into the landscape in a way I like.
Mostly I'm failing to get the right value and color, and whatever I add doesn't seem to belong. Probably due to the fact that I'm using a color palette from multiple images, neither of which have any type of structures or boats.

Spirit Guy WIP
I was going with a "golden eagle" theme, and had put the character in a pose where he was to have an eagle landing on right arm. I didn't get to that point yet.
Right before posting, I was wondering why that eagle symbol on the sword looked familiar... Unfortunately, after a Google search I found it's a symbol used by.... the Nazis. (They were some stylish bastards.)
So, needless to say the symbol would have to change, as well as the gesture and size of the right arm. I'm sure he'd also benefit from some legs at some point.
Edit: Wow, it really looks like the arm of a small child..

New Prompt: Spirit Guide
You can pretty much take this prompt anywhere, as long as the guide is human or human based (as opposed to a spirit animal). Don't hesitate to add animal features, though, or any other modifications that could make the guide more interesting.

New Prompt: Change of the Seasons.
So for this prompt I was thinking that you could personify a season and then show how they change the season. It dosn't need to be a human either, Just make it work :)
Level 7 Sketches

Level 5 and 9 sketches.
Ehh, cropping so much makes me sad, but it needs to be done. I couldn't find a way to keep the scale I wanted while have figures in there, so I added a torch, and hopefully that brings them into focus a little bit. They seemed too small to notice without the crop, but now I don't like the composition.
I should have worked ALL of this out in the thumbnail stage! I don't know why I keep doing this.

edit: worked on leg anatomy, perspective, and design. Not as tight and missing some design things I still wanted to add (wings and back sash), but overall I'm happy with leaving it be. Need to get to the Inferno prompt!
This is where I'm at right now. Working on the legs now. Any critique is welcome.
New Prompt: Nine Circles of Hell
From Dante's Inferno. I had this in mind so that we had some choice and could choose which ever one of the circles we wanted to concept.... or you can paint all nine if you're an overachiever.
Here is the wiki so that we can get an idea of what each circle represents:

Moon Knight WIP
Sailor Moon
Character Sketch
Sketch I've been working on. I definitely want to bring this to a finished stage at some point this week. I could use a new set of eyes though. I'm trying to figure out how to make the lower arms look like they are energy projected out from the upper arm. Oh, and my sailor moon thing will be coming at some point this week, just not sure when.

Yankee Moon
Inspired by yankee (thug) school girls.
There's a lot of weird stuff going on with the perspective here, but I'm pleased with how the design came out, so it's all good.

New Prompt: Amphibian Creature/Character
Either/or, focus is on practicality. Subject should "make sense" in the world. Try to give the amphibian qualities that a real amphibian would have.
