Aanchir Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) Here's my first entry for the Flash Fire Character Design Contest! I chose to draw the Captain of the Guard, Jaller, who should need no further introduction.Click for full sizeI chose to illustrate him in the same style as a Macku drawing from a couple years back. I think I did a much better job with this drawing than with that one, of course. The pose is less simplistic and I tried to keep the lineart and coloring a lot cleaner.UPDATE: Here's my second entry, the venerable Turaga Vakama!Anyway, questions, comments, and criticism are encouraged! Not sure if I will stand much of a chance in this contest, but it's always great to have a motivation to keep drawing!

FrozenFlash Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 The torso is well done and the mask is cool. The colors are also great. By the way, is this supposed to be Jaller in Kolhi gear? If so, I think the staff should look a bit more like a hammer. Nice job on this! Quote
Meiko Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Good job on the gradient shading. I have to say that this is a good improvement from the drawing of Macku.

Toa Turing Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 This is very good. The details are great, and it's a good mix of movie and set style. I like the feet, they blend well with the rest of the character. My only complaint is that the neck looks like it's twisted at an awkward angle. Quote I really need a better signature.

If so, I think the staff should look a bit more like a hammer. Nice job on this!No, this is actually meant to be Jaller in his Ta-Koro Guard equipment (as pictured here). Glad you like this. This is very good. The details are great, and it's a good mix of movie and set style. I like the feet, they blend well with the rest of the character. My only complaint is that the neck looks like it's twisted at an awkward angle.I tried to get the neck-twist as natural-looking as possible, but it was quite a challenge and I'm not surprised that it still looks a bit uncomfortable or awkward. I'm glad you like the style. Quote Latest MOC: PAIGE (Prototype Artificial Intelligence, Gynoid Expression)
Terra Nuva Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 I have to say, even thought the Jaller is extremely good, I love your Vakama. The way he is holding the Vahi and the wind is blowing his robes is very amazing. Very well done. Quote
Nuparu1995 Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 A very cool biomechanical take on these characters. And nice way to include the Vahi. Quote Nuparu1995 92% of teens have moved onto rap.If you are part of the 8% that still listen to real music, copy and paste this into your signature. R.I.P. - 7/20/2012
