You did a pretty good job of recreating the comic-book artstyle, but I think you should either get rid of the text box in the corner, or make it a little bigger.
I like that you chose a 2/2/2 metal color concept. As much as I don’t mind the metal blue color for Kualus, this art concept, if it is canonized, makes it easy to avoid time/money to spray paint parts.
My only issue with it (and don’t take this to heart, it’s just my opinion) is the color split. Now this might be a bit of a hot take, but I much prefer a 1-1-1-1-1-1 split, or a 2-2-1-1 split of the original builds. Also, if we were to have a 2-2-2 split, I think I’d prefer making Pouks blue. The more I see this color variation, the more I dislike it. Once again, this is not to say your art is bad, in fact quite the contrary, it’s incredible! Good luck in the contest!
Edit: just to reiterate, I’m just sharing my opinion and In no way am I trying to make someone else feel bad
I completely understand. I had the same issue with most of the other entries. I’m sure a lot of the voting this time will be more about color schemes than the art itself. It is a canon contest after all, not an art contest.
Not sure if you saw, but I did add a version without the text box. Which was my plan from the beginning. I like the visual of the text box too much to get rid of it completely!
This is neat, though the perspective on Kualas’s size is kinda janky and Bomonga looks possessed with his enormous eyes. The art style is certainly appealing, though. Nice work.
I’ve seen a few people go back and rework their Hagah art submissions to make them canonically accurate now that we have a winner. I wanted to do the same since it seemed a shame all the work I put into this drawing could be sidelined due to its inaccuracy to canon. I hesitated for a while because I wasn’t sold on the metallic colors, but by now I’ve really warmed up to them! The color distribution also seems to work well with my drawing. I also went back and fixed some things I didn’t like about the original, mainly the hectic sky in the background. Hope you like it!
