 Here's all I've gotten done thus far, which is mainly just the background. I figured I'd gather some influence from Chinese art, where the inspiration for Sun's character's story "Journey to the West" hails from. I also decided to go with a pallet of mainly different shades of gray and yellow, to reflect not only Sun's warm and playful personality, but also to refer to what qualities the King of Wands cards represents: "bold", "creative", "forceful", "inspiring" and "charismatic". Yellow is a color that typically signifies optimism and energy. Adding some hues of orange give it a more golden color, which in turn gives more of a nod to the "king" part of the card as kings are often associated with gold for regality and wealth even though Sun isn't exactly rolling in dough. The shades of grays are used as accents to the yellow, made to make it seem more vibrant and also tie back to the origins of Sun's character's inspiration. I'm planning on drawing Sun himself and doing any and all other finishing touches tomorrow, since it's nearing 3 AM here and I'm unbelievably tired from a long night at work. Any comments/suggestions anyone? |

It looks great so far! I'm loving your ideas for color and what you're drawing inspiration from. Fantastic work!

I've done an updated version. I've gotten the lineart and base coloring done. About to add lights and darks. After I finish Sun I'm going to move onto his weapon. After that's done I'll just have the words to do and I'll be done ouo  |

 Here's a newer updated version. Aside from the words on the bottom I'm basically done. I've done shading and highlights on Sun, finished his weapons and done shading on both Sun and his weapons to so that it looks like he is in front of the sunlight in the background. I've also tweaked said background a bit so that the orangeness of the sky doesn't blend in so much with the rays of light. Once the font's been decided I'll turn in the official finished version OuO |
