Pictured are four itinerations of the same character, Scarab, with each inineration being more armored than the one preceding it. If you would, please tell me which design you prefer, and why you prefer it that way. Another option, not shown, is itineration #4 without the shoulder armor. I could quickly make that up, if you require a visual example. Thank you in advance for your help.
I prefer 4 but 3 is nice too. Four just looks more balanced over all.
>>21351Thank you! I appreciate your comment. I was worried that the chest armor might detract from the sleek look that I was going for. Do you believe this fear to be unfounded?
Here is Scarab with the chest armor but without the shoulder ornamentation.
>>21353that looks good too, it has a sleeker look but also has enough bulk to the chest to balance out the boots
>>21355Have you changed your preference, then, to the most recent one?
>>21356no, but the new one doesn't look bad either
>>21358So we still like the most armored version, then? Very good, thank you for your help.Does anyone else want to weigh in?
Here's another single image with all of the itinerations on it, for easy perusal. I'd love to hear people's opinions.
I think the chest armor make him more sleek, as long as the shoulder pads are not pointed (the round shoulder pads are OK)>>21353looks the sleekest.The one without armor looks like Generic Superhero In Tights #47The shoulder pads change that, but I like the chest armor because of the third red circle that goes along with the circles on his arms. Might be cool if they were his Scarab logo, if you want to go there.
>>21394So, one vote for the moderately-armored look, without shoulder armor. Thanks much!
The red circle draws the viewer's eye in without distracting them from the rest of his body.
So then, 1-3 aren't bulky enough, five is too bulky, and four looks to be just about perfect?
I vote for #4, or >>21353. Seems the most balanced overall.
>>21403I concur.
