Weekly DoE/AotZ Concept Art Session #1: SOOOOZZEENNN!!

Post by AnemicRoyalty » Tue Feb 24, 2009 2:02 am

Introducing the first
Weekly DoE/AotZ Concept Art Session!

In this exercise, participants create their rendition of the selected character within one week. There are no restrictions on quality or medium (although obviously anything that violates the rules of the forum will be deleted). Participants are encouraged to create new work for this exercise, rather than posting old work. The image provided is a reference only, don't feel limited by any of the details. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Above all, have fun everyone!

Our theme for this week is:

Lieutenant Sozen
The Boreal Vanguard

Image

1032; The Aftermath
1032 AE (After Exodus)

Politics is a face of the people that is never clean of deceit and treachery. Sozen's father worked as a body guard for one of the few honest members of the political council in Argon. Sozen's father was as loyal as any could be, a trait passed down to his son.

In the year 1032, the council member that Sozen's father was bodyguard for was assassinated by mysterious means. Before any investigation could be made, the rest of the council blamed Sozen's father, which most of the public knew to be absurd. Using their clout, the council successfully framed Sozen's father, having him executed for his crime.

Sozen was given his father's belongings upon his execution, including the enchanted armor given to his father by the assassinated council member. Sozen would grow up to be just like his father was, deathly loyal to whomever he deems worthy. Little did he know how important a role he would play in the upcoming war...

~Image and Lore from Gamunbah DoE Wiki compiled by assassingao, lore by Rising_Dusk and texture by AnemicRoyalty.
The session begins now and finishes next Monday (U.S. time, it's Tuesday here). No exact time as it is not a contest, rather an exercise. Post your images in this thread, work in progress shots are always encouraged xD
If you have suggestions for future concept art sessions, don't hesitate to post them!

Note: I'm posting this here for the time being, if Dusk or Crevax sees fit, they can move it to a more appropriate location.

That's a crazy good drawing! My interpretation is definitely more influenced by the ingame Sozen :P.

I'll try and see if I can get a WIP but I've got some work to do at the moment. I will be done in due time though! >;o. By the way... Where is Sozen's magic armor :o?

lol... Edit. I've got the time to make a WIP! It's time to give everyone cause mine is just sooo awesome.not really lol

Image
Definitely not very SOOOZZEEENN at all but just trying to keep it lively sort of kind of. I'll have a pencil WIP eventually! The doodle was actually good before I colored over it and dodged and burned it to it's grave.

I like the proportion of Sozen's hand is to his head.

I totally dig the way you represented the mana shield like a glass barrier cracking under siege. That's wicked cool. <3

Not my favorite character I admit, but here he is regardless.

Well, I drew up an ugly doodle about the thing cooldood postzorz. I drew it a second time and it was bettah like teh sozen in the picture.

Sozen is revived and begins to run with his 6 magic necklaces from old DoE that I cannot remember. Midget who revived Sozen flames in the corner, the yet to exist Innert chats with a butterfly and... Moar stuff. I was going to draw Rose 'arrowing' the base like Sabertooth said he was doing but meehhhh.
