We...are Epoch

Description

"We are the new beginning. We...are Epoch."

Epoch (can be pronounced as epic), a highly technological organization lead by 6 individuals - with Nyx being one of their subordinates, - will be the main antagonizing group throughout CrimZon Universe, represented by the symbol in the background. Their goal...will remain a mystery to all besides myself (of course hehe).

Some side notes:

I've never shown what Nyx's weapon was before because I didn't really know what she should use. Every character I made either had a gun, a sword, knives, chains, their fists, their skills, etc. I wanted something different for her - I wanted to give her a weapon befitting her...voluptuous figure. But then I came upon the nameless king in dark souls 3, and his weapon - a great sword spear - was seriously, "EPIC" looking. So I tried to replicate it and so far I love how it turned out. 

The symbol in the background are an upside-down/reverse combination of the letters from the latin word, Aetas - meaning age. I stuck with it since "age" or "period" or "era" relate to the organization's motive. As for the area outside the "V", they represent the wings of a butterfly. Why a butterfly you might wonder? I went in search for a symbolic image of age or time - the first thing I considered was a clock but that was too common. Then I remember the oh-so-famous theory, "the Butterfly Effect," which also relates to the motive of Epoch. In the end, it turned out nicely too.

Well that's all for now. Enjoy!

hi unknown117 i'm SUBA

i'll help you with my best and fairest critique as best as i can.
hope my languange is understandable.

mostly i'll critique about the IMPACT,
because first impression and concept is important score for my rating.
The first sight i can feel that concept is like JRPG, well it's obvious as you said that the reference from DS3. About the LOGO, if you didn't mention it as butterfly effect, i didn't figure it out. perhaps it caused by the letter "T" at the top of the logo and hard lining art of the logo that makes it more robotic.

VISION
+ I have no comment about the proporsion, it's already well made! Nice!
+ The color of the hair and logo, is choosen wisely. It make contrast color compared with the BG and the apparel. it makes me see the hair and logo at the first sight. Good!

Correction
except the hair and the logo, the BG, watermark and apparel color is bland.
i think most of it, is caused by the effect of the gradient BG, and typical shading & lighting color. Try experimenting with different color for BG. also you can try change your shade and lighting color, hope it can make emphasize the form and the character concept better.

2. as for ORIGINALITY , my scoring is a bit tighter, i have seen many arts with same drawing or coloring style so i'm sorry i give it 3.

3. as for TECHNIQUE , you already have smooth lineart, and good coloring. but it's still have room of improvement, especially for shade and lighting.

so.. that's all i have for the critique..
sorry if i'm being impolite,
but i hope it'll help you and also for my self improving our art.

sincerely
SUBA
