Thought I'd start a thread since I'm starting to lurk this board far more often than the others now. Anyways, here's a current WIP I have for Zamochist's contest coming up. The Warrior is hand drawn, though I've put it through PS to add some light color overlays and lighting effects. Of course it's nothing final, but it was fun just messing around with it.

Thanks guys. I'll keep adding more WIP shots as it comes along. Hopefully I can get most of it done by this weekend. The Doppleganger's flaming head might take me a bit.

Playing around with the Doppleganger's head. Didn't much care for the original design's face, so I just went with a partial skull mixed with the magma rock design. And I'm glad the chaos axe doesn't have any detail - sure saves me a lot of time.

wooooow.
Are you an art major? Your pencil shading skills kick arse.
I might suggest making the outline of the Chaos Axe a little bit sharper, but otherwise I love how the doppel is turning out.

And I haven't really bothered with the chaos axe - just thought the effect looked cool

Dopplegagers profile is great!
I love the slight 2D medieval stylization. Dunno why It reminds me of those old tapestries...

Thinking of adding some phrase in one of the corners; sort of how Chinese court artists would stamp their names along with a poem. Something like:
"Bone of Obsidian,
Flesh of Hell's Precipice;
Augury Rock calls to you."
Eh, depends how I feel about the end product.

Woooow Charlie... Looks awesome! Makes me wanna scrap my project :P
I was thinking about posting a wip too but I don't feel like mine deserves its own thread. So IF I get done with it, I'll post it into the contest.

omg epicness
I think Zamochit will be delighted to part with a window of Ecto, for the pleasure of having spurred what you are creating ~
tho there's prolly some sleepers, waiting to post until the last minute .. yours is so far the winner, and certainly a placeholder at very least~!
tis awsum, watching your piece in development, thanks for sharing~!

Awesome. Just plain awesome.
What do you use to shade the background/pure-black areas? Marker?
I love how cleanly the characters pop out from the background in some areas yet fade into darkness in others.

I'm just working with a mechanical pencil. All the black mass is just from me grinding the living hell out of led to paper.
And I'm glad you like the blending effect
I sort of envisioned the Doppleganger fight to be pretty chaotic; fighting in a pitch black room. Any and all light you see is coming off the Doppleganger's head and big honking Chaos Axe.

o_O mechanical pencil for shading something that large? What kind of lead do you use? I'd think the paper would rip from shading that heavy with mechanical
Charlie Dayman
Not too sure of the number since I threw the container away awhile ago. Still, the lead is relatively soft so it doesn't really tear unless I tilt the head to an angle when it's razor sharp.
Reason I use mech. pencil is because I noticed that when I combine it with standard graphite pencils, the mixture of shading is just a slight bit different. Whenever I see that, it starts to irk me after a while and eventually just go at it again with my other pencil. Really isn't that noticeable, but I'm OC when it comes to drawing.
