Futuristic Monarch
I'm really digging this. I'm not the best at character concepts, but im having a fun with this design.
I really like where this is going, Especially the people bowing, that adds and extra element of superiority. I really dig how the old elements of royalty meets the asymmetrical and futuristic design. the contrast is good. Only complaint I have is that his ankles are looking quite tiny, but other than that. I can't wait to see the finished version
I agree with Ronni about the bowing-- I'm really digging the girl on the right who seems to be glaring at the king. It looks like the beginning of a story or something. Maybe the king isn't so loved? My only crit is that I think the pelvic area might also be a little small, as well. So far so good. I like the sketch^^

Hey thanks Ronni and Jaia. It seems that my vision is coming through...great! Yeah I see what you mean about his waist and ankles. I drew him with the stature of being in his early teens and was wreaking my brain as to how I was going to display his lack of prowless other than making him a bit slim with a small waist and ankles. I thought it would show that his physical self was feeble. I also wanted his personality to come off as arrogant and smug. So yeah good call Jaia on him "not so loved" part.
looks like you got a lot accomplished at the halftime mark! coming from a sequential art background, i can say that youre doing an awesome job of telling a story without words (whether or not you were going for that). the girl's expression at the bottom gets the viewer thinking. so, i agree with jaia; you get an A+ for that lol... my only qualms are that his pelvis looks a bit small and, the arms/hands of some of the groveling people look as though their breaking the ground line that youve established for the monarch. idk... think there might be a little foreshortening necessary but, thats just a nit picky thing. *shrug*... cant wait to see the finished piece!
