"The Awakening"

This is my first character and illustration for my little story I strated to work on back in about 2000.

"The Awakening" - finished artwork

"The Awakening" - details

1st Step: This started as a quick pencil sketch...but ended up as a finished render. But I had to realize I used too much small details and parts in his bodyarmor and I didnt really liked it

2nd Step: Started to work on the digital version and tried to break the form with larger pieces in the armor

3rd Step: Developed a backgroud/foreground that helps the viewer to concentrate on the character. A background that adds to the figure and his story but try not to take away the attention
