This character design and illustration was made for the Dominance war competition at CGSociety.org.
I wanted this image to really focus on the main character, to show the weapon, his face and some of the action. I also wanted the image to suggest there was a whole tribe of the same kind of characters.
Wow! Really great job, I love practically everything about it. The paint on the blower came out really well too, definitely has that sloppy realism to it.
The character is really awesome. He is painted with lots of quick strokes, which gives the whole piece a lot of motion. I really love the expression he has, too.
I'm not sure I get "weapon" from the thing he's blowing on, though. It looks more like a horn or instrument of types.
