@zyp thanks for the feedback :smiley: yeah i'm a bit torn between my middle two colorings...maybe ill try to use stuff from the first one and combine them haha.

I like that second one a lot––her expression is really nice. I'm assuming it's a start to your illustration? Or are you still just figuring out her design? Either way, looks awesome so far!

@sanguine thanks :smiley: yeah i'm trying to figure the illustration out before i finish the first thing, only because that's the part i'm most worried about!

Nice work Fris, perfect anatomy, a powerful pose too at the same time, this will help a lot to him! :smile:

Shes looking really interesting! The pose is powerful, and her clothing design fits fantasy and her powers which I assume like a nature manipulation ability? Overall keep going, this is really good so far! :smile:

@fris ahh thank you :smiley: that helps a lot!!!
@kreyhardt thanks :smiley: yeah, she'll have druid type of abilities that help with bringing back life into nature and weather manipulation!

I really like the second and the third version of your character. Did you get your inspiration from the seasons colors? The first one seems to wear spring's colors, the second one summer's, etc... Very nice job btw !

@ninoune thanks :smiley: for the colors i thought about the different types of leaves i see through out the year! I did the blue one because i felt like i needed a cool tone one. maybe i subconsciously thought of the seasons haha.

hopefully i fixed her anatomy for now....i'm gonna continue working on her actual full design before i go back to this but here's that progress...

@zazzycreates thanks! that's the one i ended up chosing!

my cintiq and laptop monitor aren't exactly the same contrast...can't seem to fix it either so it's rather annoying.
i didn't realize how dark the shadows are until i posted this haha.
but this is what i have so far...definitely gonna fix that contrast problem and make her less orange haha.

i'm not good at backgrounds...so i scribbled color down before i actually decide on something....so we'll see!

I love the color so much especially the yellowish background. Im a huge fan of the nature when engraved with fantasy so much, thats how I got into digi painting haha! You're character is in good pose, powerful. My only concern is the anatormy are a bit off, the fingers especially and the head is too big for me, its my opinion, I hope it helps! :smile:

@kreyhardt thanks :smiley: ! i have the worst habit of drawing huge heads haha. i blame always drawing disney characters when i was younger! i'll shrink that down and fix the hands :smile:

18 days later

i've been so busy with a new job that i've been neglecting this D:
hope i can still finish on time :smile:

Hi! Nice concept, power for the forest ladies! : )
In the first round this practical clothing Vs. show some skin was similar for me : D While i did sketches, always thought that okay it's nice, but totally uncomfortable while you running criss-cross the forest...
For the background: maybe you can use it to power up and raise her magic movement.

@bohemiannihil thanks :smile: haha yeah, i try to always think of practicality, but i figured if i went with an ourfit like this....it's warm out? haha. to be honest, i'm considering changing a lot of my character.

after a long break from this...i'm starting to doubt myself a lot haha. i wanna keep the concept...but change more of her clothing....even the pose...i jsut don't see it as dynamic enough....we shall see!

10 days later
