Hi everyone!

I found out this Art War about one month away and i had an idea of some kind of fantasy angel / ork crossbreed. But sadly i did broke my right arm and I did tought that I don't have time to apply in this contest.

Now it is much better but i have just 9 days left! i still going to try my best to make my character happen in all it's glory. :blush:

I have drawn digitally almost 2 and half years and I will face a lot of trouble doing this contest. I did think this would be a really good opportunity to learn and get works on my portfolio and most important, to hear feedback and evolve own character.

I did choose this one of my character and now I try to create her outfit!
So much to do, I don't have back picture of that character and no colours....
Don't know can I finish this in 9 days ;__;

I will continue post my progress, in this evening/night.
God help me with this :smiley:

Nice concept! And good choice on the first outfit. Maybe you could extend a bit more the winged elbows, as your angel silhouette is very pretty. And I'd suggest defining the feathers on her back a bit more so that it's clearer they are part of her body and not her outfit, maybe extending them between the shoulder and the tricep.
And don't worry, of course you can get it done, you've made quite a good progress in the last few hours, good luck! :smile:

Thank you for the feedback!

I really appreciate that you did share your thoughts and I really agree about those things. I try to change those and make it work better for this character :blush:

Night update!

I did add more details and continue doing the back picture before moving to the colors.
I hope I get the color options tomorrow done so I can move to the second task :smile:

Wow, wery nice rendering of the character. Would love to see how it looks with colors!

Niiice, almost make me think of a half breed between a drow and an orc. feels a lot like dungeon and dragon.
Maybe you could add more tribal stuff like bones, tatoos, leather strap, to make her feel even more wild?
Great stuff ! can't wait to see the how it ll go!

I really like your workflow! and the rendering of face and details looks really nice. It might be good to check the knees and elbow. the boots and and feather might obscure them. :blush:

I did today morning some sketches with my pad when I was in school. With your help I did see some problems what I would fix for now, but the time is running low so I have to think what is necessary that i will get all things ready in 8 days. I did think about Those paintings etc what would look really interesting :wink:

The face paintings

Looks awesome. The feathers making her design more unique. I also really like that she doesnt got those typical view-attracting boobies, which makes her much more believable as a warrior. Good stuff!
