I've been having a lot of issues with my silhouettes lately. This princess, trained at an academy, undertakes expeditions for her kingdom. Wielding wind magic and daggers with finesse akin to Jett from Valorant, she excels as her team's swift and precise DPS. Though not naturally violent, her agility and sharp instincts make her a key asset in battle and diplomacy. I included a base in case anyone wanted to experiment.

This character is meant to be a student of a magical academy. The setting is urban fantasy (think allista from Final Fantasy). Hes meant to be a fire mage and a swordsman with a chill laid back personality to juxtapose his fire magic. Ive been trying to figure out something but idk what to do. Anyone can help out?

Went for a different more ethereal/deity sort of vibe for Lucifer. The idea is Lucifer and God are one in the same but I added a seductive element to garner more attention and such. Any comments or feedback or critiques any one has on it?

Definitely getting somewhere.

"Ever wonder why some character designers break into the industry and thrive, while others feel like they’re stuck in place? Here’s the secret that most people miss: Successful artists know when to pivot. Yes, you read that right. Sometimes, the quickest way to elevate your work is by shifting your approach. But I’m not saying you should give up on your artistic vision at the first sign of difficulty… Or walk away from your dream of becoming a concept artist. This is about making smart, intentional moves that keep your progress on track. Here’s how: - 📐 Measure Your Growth: Are your skills improving, or are you repeating the same mistakes? If you’re not making real strides, it’s time to reassess and find a new approach to improve. - 👀 Check Your Passion: Does designing characters still fuel your creativity, or has it become routine? Passion drives innovation, and if that fire is fading, explore new techniques, styles, or mediums to reignite your enthusiasm. - 👂 Listen to Feedback: Whether from clients, the community, or your own audience, feedback tells you where to improve. If your designs aren’t hitting the mark, it might be time to adjust and refine your process. - ⏰ Maximize Your Time: Don’t waste hours on methods that aren’t yielding results. If your current workflow is stalling your progress, it’s time to try something new and refocus your energy where it counts. - 🍔 Take Care of Yourself: Artistic growth thrives when you’re mentally and physically in balance. If burnout is creeping in, step back and readjust. A healthy mindset leads to stronger creativity and longer-lasting success. - 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️ Seek Honest Critique: Surround yourself with people who push you to improve. Growth happens through constructive feedback, not constant praise. If you’re not getting that, you could be holding yourself back. Take a look at the world of concept art in films, TV, and video games. Some of the most successful artists didn’t stick to one style or method their entire careers – they learned how to adapt. Whether designing characters for Hollywood blockbusters, animated series, or the latest AAA video game titles, top-tier concept artists consistently refine their work to stay ahead of the curve.
