Here's my Initial ideations for the Holy Grail Priest. I'm not sure about the concept I think I prefer the Goblin Chef at the moment, I think the monk is a little bit generic. I should hopefully have the Butcher lady Ideations done in the next couple of days!

I really like this priest guy, especially the first concept, the chains look very interesting!
Just... this is a war. How much damage can a cook do? Maybe if he poisons the enemy with his bad cooking or something... I get the spice idea, maybe he even throws salt in the eyes of his enemies (and then they throw it back in the form of words) but you'll have to work really hard on such a concept, it could easily become way too silly.

Thanks, yeah I agree the first concept is the most interesting out of the three.
Haha yes too true, I was thinking along the lines of the spices acting like explosives. Yeah functionality is a big part and I agree it could be a hard concept. Yeah I don't think I ever wanted the Goblin Chef to be serious he was always planned to be a bit silly/ crazy haha
Thanks for the feedback

Hey guys,

Here are my Initial Ideations for the Butcher Lady.
Out of the three ideas I think this concept is the strongest, so I'll continue to further this concept! ( because Im running out of time xD ) Let me know if you guys have any feedback

We have two months, the time is plenty. ^3^
I really like the first one, the silhouette is very appealing. The other two are interesting as well, but a bit hard to read.

Cheers yeah I agree, I like the mezzaluna as a weapon I think It could be interesting. Yeah I'm going to mash a few ideas up see what happens.

Hey guys,

Decided to mock up a mood/ Inspiration board to help me get through variations

yorieofthecastle 2017-01-04 09:53:55 UTC #10

What about some bones, horns, skulls, things like that? I think they'd fit more or less with the idea.

moustachio 2017-01-04 10:32:20 UTC #11

I have a few pages of research which includes all the bones and skulls. but I was really interested in the texture of meat especially steak ( I Know it sounds super weird) but i think armour would look interesting if it had meat marbling texture.

Hey guys sorry for the lack of posting recently.

Here are some variations of the Butchess, now I'll move onto getting this character sheet completed let me know what you guys think.

moustachio 2017-02-20 01:43:38 UTC #13

Been pretty busy sorry for the lack of stuff, just realised theres 8 days left so I'm going to try and get as much done as possible!

I finished some variations of the chosen ideation, just because there was aspects of the other ideations which I thought were interesting so I wanted to explore and see if some items would work.

This is the process of the character sheet. The meat cleaver scythe weapon went through a lot of changes, I didn't like the shape. My intended purpose ( for the metal pig head ) was to be used as a blunt smashing element, but It just looked awkward attached to the blade.

I gave her scarification tattoos ( since there white) which just adds more character elements to her. The tattoos I drew up in illustrator then just applied the vectors to her skin with a colour dodge layer. There are little hidden references to Australian culture ( pork on your fork) and Diablo's Butcher ( Ah fresh Meat).

I know there isn't a lot of time left but I'm going to try and knock this out!

Here are the butchess tattoos

moustachio 2017-02-26 03:12:09 UTC #16

Mocked up some colour variations so that I have some idea of what colour the Butchess will be.

tiiajohnson 2017-02-26 03:53:02 UTC #17

I love the green, but probably doesn't go with the name, lol

moustachio 2017-02-27 14:49:31 UTC #18

Yeah same, but I agree doesn't really fit in with the theme haha

moustachio 2017-02-27 15:22:26 UTC #19

Hey guys ,

Trying to finish the illustrations before the deadline this is what i have so far.

So I drew up 3 different compositions, decided to go with the one where she's kneeling, because I think it's better framed than the other two.

And heres some development, i sketch some details so that I have a rough idea of what elements I'll have in the fore ground and background. I was thinking it would be interesting to have her kneeling on top of a cage, with other cages suspended in the background.

moustachio 2017-03-01 15:28:51 UTC #20

Hey guys,

Heres some more process, running out of time but I think I'll finish just in time! ( thank you for the extension! ) I'm not the best with colour. I prefer to work in black and white because I feel that I have a better sense of value. I always find it tough converting a black and white illustration to colour ( the values usually change and become muddy) , usually I either get the colour right on the first go or it takes ages for me to find the solution.

moustachio 2017-03-01 18:24:01 UTC #21

More refinements and details. Starting to get there haha
