Hi I’m a new user. Here’s my first time posting. I’ve only done a few rough sketches for my submission. My original inspiration was a human ribcage then then I just kept making her weirder until her turned into a him. Her boobs are actually the bright yellow eyes of the face Looking forward to critiques and feedback thought it may be a little early in the design process. Any Ideas for names? I lost my Apple Pencil so until I find it or school starts again I won’t be doing any digital drafts. Let me know what you think. Is the design SFW?

This is a pretty amazing concept to be honest. The design for the torso to be a face is haunting yet amazing!

I think , as far as i remember nudity is not a valid entry for the contest. But check the terms one more time to be sure. Good look forward with the concept ^_^

Quick update: found my pencil. Here’s a quick color sketch I did. I’m very new to painting digitally. I know how to use photoshop etc. and I have experience with gouache but painting on screen is totally new to me so any tips would be great.

That second picture is my insp. for her boobs. Btw she’s huge. The face on her torso swallows suns and her womb turns them to black holes.

Collecting a sun for her womb

@rabbitrifles thanks. Yea I'm going for as haunting as possible.

[wolverine_is_alive]

@wanna yea i checked the rules. Im debating losing the eyes and just giving her something that covers her tits. what do you think?

Some head variations

[wanna]

I like the reference idea for the eyes/boobs, my only concern is that psychologically speaking the viewer seeks the face in a illustration/ the eyes to have contact first and then involuntarily follows the direction of the lines in a composition. So having both a head and the eyes on the upper torso, will be confusing. You have to find a solution for this visual problem, if she is sooo big that she eats the sun, maybe you can't even see her head, and the eyes on the boobs fit then, like in your image above, or cover her boobs and concentrate on the head.
And always ask yourself, why is that there or why does it look like that. If you find a plausible/logical explanation, then it's working for the concept, and anybody who is looking at your concept will understand it ^_^.

Oh jeez this is the most scariest and odd draving what I`ve seen in here. You are very brave! Looking forward to see the result!

@wanna I’m going for as haunting an image as possible. Don’t you think it might be unsettling to look for eyes in the head not to find them but to realize he’s true face is in her stomach. That’s one of the reasons the head is so ornate, because I want to draw the viewers eyes to the head first. I see what your saying though especially with the bright yellow color in the boobs Idk if -people will even get that they’re eyes for a face. It all depends how I present her in my final illustration .lol I don’t know much about design so I’m kinda banking on my illustration skills.

@sheyenne Thanks. I’m glad it spooks you.

[xenman]

wow this looks amazing! Quite something else, isn't it? The concept is very cool, and I think it could work if you bring more attention to the torso than the face. Perhaps keeping the face in the shadow (visible ofc, just shaded), while keeping the torso and the arms more in the spotlight? So that she's overall kinda emerging from darkness? Just an idea.

[wolverine_is_alive]

@xenman Thanks, and Yea that’s what I was thinking . Having her head back so you could only see under her chin.

Messing around with torso. Idk thinking of less of a face and just a mouth.
