We like this one, but it's a bit too much like a tatoo or t-shirt design. Not quite professional enough. It looks a bit like a basketball team. I think might have to do with the lettering. Professionalize the lettering. Company is in finance.
We won't tell you how to draw it, we'll just tell you the feeling that we're getting and the feeling we want to get.
We like the character, but the face a bit too angler. Try adding a bit more wisdom and knowledge and intelligent and less mean and tough in the face of the man. More compassion in the eyes. Some background. Not white and not black.
Overall graphic style: more details if possible. Please see superheros in the website we posted. (I'll repost here). Specifically the wolfman.
Yours is in the #1 spot and the one to beat. Great job!!
You are obviously an amazing artist. I think you could be No 1 if you did the following.
1) Can you give Merlin more ACTION in his body? Is that possible? No 73 had more "tilt" in the body and a sideways view. It was more interesting. Can you keep this sideways view and tilt and Add more action??
2)Imagine this image is an AVATAR of merlin/ gandalf/ einstein for the next X man movies? What can you do to make him look like that?
Hello, sorry but with the remaining time of the contest I cannot do the changes, I spend a full day in design, illustrate, vectorize, color & shadow each one of my Merlin characters, is 3 hrs left after sunday.
