Tuan ShamanLogo Design Contest

I like the bottom half of his face a lot.

The top half has problems with his expression. Mostly his eyes. His eyes seem cross-eyed, goofy, not very wise. Tuan is very wise.

For the background element, think circles or trees instead of triangles?

Thanks!

The triangle upside down is a masculine symbol that's why I have used it.
I will rework it.
#26 light/shadow play

#23 bamboos

#28 Eyes reworked. What do you think?

#28 Much better, thanks.

For background, bamboo is nice for most tigers but Tuan lives in a desert. A far future, post-apocalyptic desert, to be exact.

Again, circles are good -- there is harmony in a circle.
Trees are good -- a tree is a shamanic symbol
Or something that inspires the idea of magic. Tiger magic in specific is great (see PDF file in contest brief).

Thanks so much!

#36 updates on the form added some more hair on the sides + the right ear fades in white now, to be more in balance with the other ear.

#55 Added a feathers necklace, and some abstract totem designs around him, like horns or other animal parts. They can look also be like hair, ?dreads?, to give a more anthropomorphic shamanistic look to him.
Also the are like thunders, ?empowering?

OH! and shorter fangs, forgot to mention.

#56 Added grunge on him to give a more organic feeling/also clouds/mist/ or dry/crackles/desert

And the rainy shaman #57

I absolutely love this new version. :D

Thunder is great, feathers are awesome.

The crackle and rain both I feel are kind of detracting from the awesome art of the mark.

Can I have the longer fangs back, please? :)

Also, if I had any one feedback on a next evolution, it's that he's not clearly a tiger anymore. Almost starting to read like a wolf. Perhaps some black and white stripes could be worked in?

Thanks so much, I am loving this. :)

I agree about crackle and rain, I thought to give it a try, as an experimentation.

#63 big fangs back, and added stripes. Small shadow on the nostrils.

Forgot to mention, made his right eyebrow more symmetric with the left one.

Crazy experiment #66 added an earring at his left ear... nothing else changed

#69 worked a bit on the stuff that going on around his face the thunders/hair, the horns etc.

Glad that you liked the last design, after the new additions I look at him and imagine that there is a story behind him, his is carrying experiences and wisdom. He has character, and feelings. He is not just a tiger or man, but something more.
Thanks

Awesomeness! Still my favorite design.

A few specific tweaks, please:

1) lets lose the horns

2) lets lose the earring

3) the top edge of his nose needs to be straight horizontal, not dipping down into a triangle. This is a big-cat/small-cat thing, actually. Small cats the nose fur dips down in front, most big cat species it doesn't.

4) the outer cheek fluff on each side is a bit too fierce, maybe it could be angled downward just a bit?

5) is there any way to work a sine wave into the edge between light side and shadow side? In some unpublished stories Tuan is sometimes called a 'sinusoidal siberian'. :)

Thanks so much!

Revisions until step 4, the sinusoidal wave up next. [Hope I understood correctly the "cheek fierceness"]
I am really happy you like my creation.

About the sinus I will disappoint you but it is distracting if I put on the front, and disappears when I put it behind all the stuff that are going around his face.

#121: here is the only way I could think

UPDATE: #131 Softening of the design. Added curves along withe the corners. Added glow in his eyes to give more life. Revised the feather talisman, and last but not least I have hidden a sine wave on the top of his head.

#143 small refinement, I had separated his left cheek from the "outer circle", nothing else changed.

#143 that is a little more balanced, thanks. :)

Hey, just to see what it looks like, could you make for me a variant that has orange put into the outer circle, and ice blue eyes?

Thanks again! :)

Revisions ready. I like the #152

Forgot to say that is hidden a half moon centered above his eyes. Maybe It makes, more sense to make it like a sun? I have read the brief and says nothing about moons.

Final files uploaded. Thanks :)

I love it, thanks so much! :)
