      This is so lovely and detailed. The only thing I notice in your design is that the sword in the view from the back shoul be tilted the other way. The hilt should be above the right shoulder. I can't wait to see this finished.

        Such a cool design! I love all the facial expressions you drew up. Really gives a sense of who the character is.

          @Jacy13 Thank you, Jacy! It is so fun to explore how a character's design gets translated into a distinct set of facial expressions. I love seeing how everyone breathes life into their respective characters too. Will you be participating in this month's challenge?

            @K-Flagg You have a keen eye! I totally missed that fact! Thanks for helping me see that discrepancy. By the way, I really liked the character designs you explored too. So much spunk and depth to your characters attitude.

                @notfitkid 😃 he is a animator. He animated the Lord of the Rings movie back in the late 70's.

                  @SheerArt Ah! I was born in the late 70s and vaguely recall that 2D animated adaptation. So cool to be able to put a name to the Director/animator

                    Yay fellow DND faaaaaaan!

                    Looks awesome to me. Loving the Legend o zelda vibe.

                    What's his armour made of and what's he wearin' underneath it?

                      @Braden-Hallett Totally! ^__^ I wonder if it had something to do with growing up in the 80s. So glad that I get to share it with my two boys now. BOTW is probably the first video game that ever elicited a "Ratatouille" moment for me, and I have to admit it probably influenced my design a bit too heavily now that Ive taken a day to re-examine my design choices. Id say he would be wearing something breathable and light weight underneath the armor (but a little too form fitting). I added the loincloth hoping to address the uh more sensitive areas, but I am starting to think it draws more attention there! Thanks again for the feedback!

                        @notfitkid Yup, yup! I sure am joining in. 🙂

                        I'm creating a character that I actually was already in the midst of planning to create a whole comic project for (this month's challenge fit perfectly). I will be posting updates about it soon!
