King Zeal - WIP
« on: January 16, 2011, 10:57:27 pm »
I've been ill and currently on leave from work so I've had time to catch up on and do a few new things for myself. I wanted to share a fan art I've begun of King Zeal as per Chrono99's rendition of him with my own touches on his appearance after studying the sprite.

Anyway, I'd love feedback. Currently this is the sketch I have done

Love it, hate it? Thoughts, suggestions? I'd love constructive criticism or if I'm going in a good direction... that's nice to know too :)

Follow me on tumblr to see more art and writings as I do them... I also have facebook and deviantArt you can find in my signature :)

Really cool sketch. That's one heck of a maniacal glare in his eyes there.

Thank you! :)

I wanted to get the green light from those who knew best. I will be colouring it shortly. I am trying to keep him to Toriyama's style as far as the linework goes... I'm debating going all out on the colouring process though cause I can and I'd like to practice with more detailed colour schemes.

I kind of see him and Queen Zeal having the same insane glare when they go on their power-trips... I definitely found King Zeal a lot more sadistic and evil in my eyes though, as per what I saw in Crimson Echoes so... yeah... crazy look in his eye is almost required XD

King Zeal looks awesome! I love the evil look on his face he's having way to much fun being evil XD

XD  You've done a good job so far.
The beads look a bit out of place though, just my feeling.

I think it looks very nice! And I echo Mr Bekkler in wanting to see a colored version! :)

utunnels- They're supposed to be slightly because of the angle and there supposed to be a chaotic wind blowing :) I'll edit them a little to harmonize more. Maybe a chain instead?

Thank you :)

I rather like the beads, but the imagery of the chain would bring Mt. Woe into mind, as well as the idea of King Zeal being "chained" to the flame. Either one makes sense. That'd be really cool. Spine-tingling in fact!

King Zeal would be voiced by Norio Wakamoto

He's got that wonderful family resemblance going, glare of absolute insanity in his eyes and everything. Awesome job.

It definitely complements his mood! I like it!

The beads are a little more polished, but the chain is so cool!
