This is my entry for anritco@anritco's contest about creating a design of the new mysterious character from Steemit Chronicles.


It means a lot for me to participate in his contest, because I really admire his paintings.

I already put my entry in the comments of this contest yesterday so today I'm going to tell you about my progress.

Initially I didn't have exact idea so I started sketching some figure. It had to be humanoid, ethereal entity and its face shouldn't be visible. I was really happy about the last guideline, because creating random face out of my mind would be really hard for me.

Here you can see my first sketches.

I decided to give its body really light cyan color, because the task was to create a humanoid. However it should be ethereal entity too so I painted just the top part of its legs so it looks like its body appears from some ethereal smoke. In the left picture you can see how I screwed up the hood on my first attempt.

I wanted its main abilities to be time controlling and time travelling so I painted the clock machine in his belly and elbows.

After capturing the main shapes and curves of the character I made colored areas smoother and added some details like the amulet or the gold detail under its breasts. Amulet is the symbol of its time power and there is a hole in it from where the time escapes, so my character can stop the time with the help of the gold amulet.

As the bonus I painted on this amulet a sign of upvote from the gemstones.

Instead of the bottom part of the legs I painted violet ethereal aura smoke, so it looks like its body floats. I added this ethereal smoke in his elbows and belly too. On the right side of the picture you can see the final version.
