Wow. These are really good, especially the Champion of Insight. While it has a simple color scheme, the colors really pop out at you.

Awesome work! I love all the backstories that you put on every character, I read every one of them and I think they’re all great. I really like the inclusion of a camouflaged Chameleon, it’s a nice touch.

A name for Ember could perhaps be Aidan (Gaelic origin meaning ‘fire’). I like it… what do you think? Not sure of a last name though.

Anyways, awesome work! Can’t wait to see more!

So here is my second character. Once again, he is one of my universe’s Champions. I give you – The Champion of Insight (Ironic seeing as he is blind)

This character took a while to get right. The robes across his chest required a lot of masking to be able to go both over and under the arms. I believe the design consisted of nearly 300 layers but I could be wrong. The shading on his robes took quite a while but I think it turned out alright. What do you think?

I picture this character to use some sort of telepathy to see into peoples minds and to “feel” what is around him. He is a secluded and secretive guy and is sort of like an old sage character. I hope you like him and stay tuned for more characters to come!

Thanks Suleman! I’ve tried using custom colours before but it never really turns out the way I want it to. I probably just need to practice with the hex codes more. I’ll play around with it and see what looks good.

When I’m creating a black character, I typically use custom colors, with a dark brown skintone as a base. I check the hex value and tweak the RGB values until I’m satisfied. I then use a lighter-colored highlight, typically something slightly red, like the “Midtone Asian Dark” skintone.

I don’t have a solution that always works, because there are so many possible skintones and different types of lighting. Play around, try all kinds of different base color and highlight variations, see what fits the character.

Not sure for this is the best place to ask this but i was wondering if any of you amazing people had any suggestions on the colour of peoples skin. I was partially satisfied with the colour and shading on my previous character but any suggestions. Especially for darker skinned characters as that is what I’ll be attempting next. Thanks!

Thanks so much! I’ve taken a lot of inspiration from your amazing art, AMS.

Welcome, bud!  Great first character and awesome highlighting and shading.  Cheers!
