Hey Folks
I've just finished my entry to the @minnowbooster super goat character design contest Hosted by @beekart and minnowbooster.
The challenge: We had to come up with a brand new design for Super Goat :-)
So naturally I was drawn to this one.
So let me Introduce him.
- He's not your text book super hero.
- Hes the Protector of Minnows, eater of daisy's and breaker of hard things.
- His horns are harder then steel, muscles ripplier than umm muscles.. and eyes so fiery they are actually on fire.
- He's SuperGoat!!
So a bit about the process. First up a timelapse gif showing a visual breakdown of how I created Super Goat.
I began with a pencil sketch and played about with various ideas, initially I had sketched a classic super hero character battling a giant whale. It was a fun idea but I felt it went beyond the character design challenge .
So I transitioned my focus to Super Goat him self. I sketched up this design, using various bits of reference as a guide from goats to Wolverine and Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson.
You will notice I roughly blocked in the colour and tone before building up a graphic fur style. Keep an eye on his cigar, while I questioned the use of the cigar with our contest host, I decided to switch out to a daisy flower, just a little more goaty :-D
Have to say the trickiest part of this image had been the metallic horns.... I think i repainted them 4 times.
Version 4 of the horns.
Then refined plus bonus flower ;-)
I painted this in PaintStormStudio a cheap but powerful painting app, and used Krita for the Logo work which is a free "photoshop".
Thats how I designed a new SuperGoat, thanks for viewing.

What fun from a tobacco to a flower, I liked the detail. I've only participated in a contest and it was drawing. I will be attentive to the design ones.
Que divertido de un tabaco a una flor, me gusto el detalle. solo he participado en un concurso y fue de dibujo. estare atenta a los de diseño.
You just told me :) thanks for the nice feedback.
awesome artwork... Real O.G. ... well the G means Goat now and it's silly to explain a joke...
but what I really wanted to say, this:
made my day... because I always thought it was a problem I was having because I am not a native English speaker... the next time I'll make that mistake, I can blame it on you for being a bad example.
Haha have to say my spelling gets worse the later in the night I post. But truly I'd be the worst example on that front, auto correct and spell check usually save my goat. 🐐 Lol at O.G :D
So sick dude!
He looks badass enough to protect any minnow, even with flower in mouth haha
Its all about flower power :D cheers for the comment :)
