I mean the golden spiral and Fibonacci sequence are pretty important in composition.

yeah, that is true, but I think there is a lot more going on. M.C. Escher is probably the most famous example of an artist who embraced mathematics in his designs, but there are others. Composition, the cosign function in Lambersian falloff, the geometry of shape carving. etc. I am slo interested in the question, do artists dislike the idea of art and math being linked. I would love to hear what artists on this sight think.
When you're having a hard time trying to think of an idea for a concept a great solution can be to redesign characters from existing IPs. Not only is this a great way to expand your repertoire, but if done well, these concepts can be used in your portfolio. In this piece I explored redesigns for the main character and some of his alter-egos from the Sega Genesis title, Kid Chameleon. This was a staple during my childhood, and I had a lot of fun designing these concepts.
Dope work man!! keep it up!
Awesome!
those are incredible! I would want to see more poses but really other than that this looks extremely professional and well made, most definitely will play this if it was a video game!
Yes, other poses would be fun to make for sure. Unfortunately, concepts are usually on a deadline, and all efforts need to be spent making sure that all necessary information is there with as much clarity as possible for the 3d artist who handles the next leg of the asset pipeline. The only other pose that could be added that would aid in this is a profile cutaway, but that is really down to your 3d artist's preferences.
Character, skin, and prop design concepts including turnarounds and thumbnail explorations for various personal projects. I'm always happy to answer any questions folks might have about creating concepts.

Hello,
I am the lead concept artist and 2d generalist for Oncelost Games. Being as we're a small studio, I also handle a lot of the marketing art for our upcoming title, The Wayward Realms. I am new to this platform, but it seems pretty cool. I am happy to answer questions about my work, concept art in general, our studio, or our current game we're working on.
