August Contest: Design A Superhero

[chrisaakins]

Every hero needs a nemesis! I don’t have time to develop this character but here is a peek at Captain Lumen! She is the arch villain of Johnny Shadow. She may be a baddie but she looks good doing it.

@Laurasketches I can’t like this enough! Super cool idea! I love the effect of the lineless shadow next to the lined art.

@Laurasketches I’m a Korean-Latina! Love this concept and the shape language!

[Laurasketches]

@Georgios-Christopoulos Thank you... comic-style... SO much work... I'm admiring the work you do.

[kirsten-mcg]

@Laurasketches This is beautifully done! And such a cool concept.

[kirsten-mcg]

This is the first real character sheet I have ever designed. It took sooooo long, but I learned a ton from doing it! Lots of research online and snooping around the SVS forums to see how other people were organizing their sheets. Thanks so much for the help and inspiration everyone!

[Georgios Christopoulos]

@Laurasketches Thank you!It means a lot!

[Frogpunzel]

@kirsten-mcg It turned out so good! Not sure if I will have time to finish mine up today... Hope I can!

[kirsten-mcg]

@Frogpunzel You still have 1 more day! Tomorrow is the 31st. I hope you get it done!

[Frogpunzel]

@kirsten-mcg Oh my goodness! I totally thought it was due tonight! One more day, yay!

@Laurasketches Love the richness of this character design.

Phew, I submitted!

P.S. If you struggled with getting your artwork under the 500kb size limit even after flattening all layers, try going to the "more" or "advance" settings on your program and uncheck all the "Embed" options (i.e. embed metadata, embed ICC profile) it brings down the file size by half... I used Affinity Publisher but Photoshop/ID should have similar options.

@kirsten-mcg LOVE this character!
