Mech Knight Concept / Art Direction

***These color scheme strips are temporary placeholders.  Please feel free to update it as you see fit, but I desaturated colors by 15% or so on all of them so they generally look like from the same family.  Please feel free to add or correct anything.

Final Goal:

Each Artist will have 1 key art--hero(s) shot with a background

To Create Cohesive style:

- Imagine we are creating extended world of "Mikhail Rakhmatullin" (art style wise)

- Power source symbol (power on/off style with our main shape)

- Power source : 

      Electric based: illumination, conductive

      Magnetic based: magnetic force

      DO NOTE USE: steam engines or any steam punk style

-levitating floating object or supporting character(s)

- similar color tone:  Slightly subdued, desaturated color scheme.  Try to stay way from using primary colors unless it's an accent color.

- key words: Ancient (characters have been in their land for a long long time), well assimilated, not artificially camouflaged
