Description
Joint Specter Number 5This guy is awesome! I would say he's my favorite character.. but they all are. Number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and MilΓ©na... I'm having so much fun developing EACH ONE! .. Num2 needs some serious attention, though.. he's cool.. but sort of a copy of Num3.
Oh well.. I'll have that fixed before I share him.
This guy... is the team's Battle Strategist. This is his main role in the outfit, but he does much much more. Briefly.. He is a master in the fields of: Communication in all forms, Battle Tactics, and Engineering ( chemical, electrical, mechanical, biological, and aeronautical ).
Ok... I think I'll leave it that vague for now.
Just a side note, in case you're wondering: You can make out the figure.. but you're really not supposed to make out ALL the details of his design in this frame... Also, if you can imagine: his upper body is actually "bending back" so that he may gaze upward.
Let me know what you think.. I'm hoping it will get you interested, but leave you with many questions!!
EDIT:
- Added orange to the atmosphere
- Changed under armor to match metal trim ( all white now )
- Reduced the opacity of the reflection on the floor and darkened the character shadow
- Re-lit the "head" in the computer console of the suit
Overall, the piece still has the same effect I wanted in the beginning, but it's more complete / dynamic. You get a much stronger impression from the character ( I hope ) and yet you are still drawn in to make out the details, and wonder just what it is!!
This is probably finished now, for sure... If I outdo myself with the other characters, I may come back and retouch this again.

fascinating and unique character design - looks tricky to draw, with joints like that~!
I think these are your best colours yet~!
beautiful shading on his suit.
A lot of it gets lost in the thumb, due to the backdrop, overall darkness and similar hue - but as you said, that's intentional
love the reflection at the bottom, great touch~!

Oh yeah, he's gonna be a ton of fun when I have to work on his action oriented shots... xD
Thanks. I really wanted to be creative with the lighting on his suit.. so, self lighting seemed so appropriate! I really like how he turned out.

this latest version is far far better - not only because of improved techniques, but we can see the character much more clearly ..
with his unique design it's a shame to conceal him in darkness~! He still looks mysterious~!

this may be one of the most original designs I've ever seen.
