Hi guys ^^

This looks like fun! I'll do what I can between work and personal projects, looking forward to learning from everybody here. I've been a fanatic about fantasy growing up, so there's only one way for me to go: Fantasy!

Meet Carissa Brierborn, Teen-Age Battle Druid, Guardian of the Natural Order, Killer of all characters Sci-Fi With prickly personality and a thorny disposition.

Feedback, comments, ideas are totally welcome ^^ Thanks for your time!

Thanks, Steve!

Beginning on value pass of the frontal shot for model sheet before work. I usually don't do this for model sheets but I'm practicing grayscales and forms at the moment, so might as well.

Been busy but I'm sneaking a little progress in. Still very rough but I may hold off on refining the renders later on, if I have time near the end. Might start thinking about the actual composition, or probably her poses should come next? Anyhow here's the color-rough for the front view character sheet.

[nevs38]

SUPER WOW!!

love the color palette <3
but most of all .... it's got that solid .. sculpt look or something
Just being nit picky ... brighten up that glow and other areas affected by it

Can't wait for the entire composition! __

[rgdraw]

This is amazing! Beautiful work

[nightblue-art]

nevs36: Thanks! Definitely. I still plan to go and paint over the character sheets more to add more colors and forms... fingers crossed
rgdraw: Thanks again!

============

In her childhood, Carissa had trouble bonding with other kids, so she gave her imaginary friends material forms. Believing most humans to be boring and phony, Carissa still sees these quirky fellows as her closest companions.

[rgdraw]

You're welcome
And i just love the imaginary friends idea ! This is so great

[nightblue-art]

@rgdraw: thanks again

=================

Pose sketches and a composition I'm considering.

[rgdraw]

You're welcome !
And your composition is really great ! So much dynamism in it!

[nightblue-art]

Thanks again @rgdraw

============================================

Reconsidered the comp. We'll see how long this one sticks...
