[afique]

This is my entry for the @w0olf's character design based on his given color scheme.

Process

Medium : Photoshop CS6

My first idea for this challenge has something to do with nature because of the color palette that @w0olf has decided. But I tried to do something a little different. I thought green and yellow can be used to depict technology (like Matrix or chipset grid) so I go with that. The two shades of dark yellow (peach and chocolate) are used for the subject's skin and the rusty weapon. I also put some white for highlights and a low-opacity layer of black for the shading part.

The whole designing process including the animated gif at the bottom took about 3 to 4 hours. The character is perhaps a hero that was teleported into a digital world, or a sci-fi landscape with giant computer hardwares as its infrastructures. Or he was shrinked and forced to fight viruses or the technology itself. Maybe it happened in a dystopian or a post apocalyptic world too, which explained his retro/futuristic fusion of a weapon. I imagined this character design could work in a simple game or 2d animation with limited color. And I thought of a name for him. His name was Kylo Byte. Ok, just kidding. I dont really have a name. If you have any suggestion, you may put it in the comment. :D

The following single images are my progression to the final outcome:

Really amazing piece of art work, you put a great effort in it.

[afique]

Yeah. I tend to do that all the time. Wish I can let go pointless things. Thank you, bro. ^_^

Wow I'm so impressed by your entry. And you even made an animation. Very talented my friend. You got yourself a new follower!
The design made me think of Kick Ass at first because of the colors. But with a TRON twist on it!

I see it taken place in an elaborate laser game. But each participant must fight for their life to escape the dome.

His name? What about Atom...

[afique]

Yess, I thought of KickAss too. Atom sounds pretty neat. My goodness, thank you for your comment and following.
You've just made my day. :DDD

Hi there! I've heard so much about Discord here so I thought I'd give it a try. Just signed up for Discord to see how the going-ons in there, but still awkwardly navigating the app. Thanks for your invitation and kind words! ^^
