I also liked A more xD, but out of the chosen two the first one looks more fitting to a colder environment and I feel if that one gets to be the final and a cold environment is not the case then maybe you could add warmer colors to idk the hair/feathers or the clothing. I personally prefer the second one, as it looks more orkish, but I'd suggest you to try sharing the hair and the feathers colors (in this case blue), so that it is more cohesive. Just a suggestion but I don't want you to loose the pace given the little time left . Keep it up!

@aeguilrod Why the people don't see the A is the best! xD
Now in one group in Facebook it seems that the white one is winning,
but I hope the second one would win

Cool character! In my opinion, option A is more suited to your character, he's more aggressive - I think what you need

Feather look great! I liked the ''all red'' paint best .

I know the vote is over, but my 2cent : B and F too, I think A color are nice but maybe too saturated /agressive, and make me feel uneasy.

For posing, I Vote for A

@petrovod
@milanbourgeon
Thank you for the votes and good points!

I did yesterday think some knifes to her what she can use in close range.
I also did do a companion (Bug Queen) that she can summon and fly with it, but can't use in fight. How ever she can use "bug spells" and the bugs can eat her target alive or do some serious damage.

There is still lot to render but I'm close!

These look really good, keep it up.

I did listen different ideas and thoughts for the illustration and this is the final sketch what I will start to work.

In the back is her loving father who will teach her to fight and use her abilities for her journey. Their goal is activate the Heaven Stone what is teleport in the Flying City were lives the "Pure Breeds".

Pure breeds have raiced the City in the sky longtime ago, that they can be like Gods and put behing the dying underworld.

Rendering time!

XENA · Feb '17

I usually do my pictures black and white at first, because I have a lot of broblems with the colours and this helps me with the values

Here is update for this illustration, there is so much to render xD

aegilrod · Feb '17

Nice! Just a suggestion, hope it's not to late but it feels a little clumped together, maybe you could set the father behind a little further, as he takes the attention away from her. Other than that it's looking pretty nice, keep it up!

@aeguilrod
You say that in the final illustration of the character, she must appear wholly and I can't cut her at all? ;___;
But in the rules there is anything of that? Just in the consept there have to be front and back picture.

aegilrod · Feb '17

Oh yes, the quote is from the FAQ, you can check it out, just as it says: the final illustration must contain at least 80% of the character.

FAQ (The very last question)

XENA · Feb '17

Thank you @aeguilrod a lot to for the info!

I did now sketch how I will fix the picture and I did change the canvas size, but I don't think I will finish this in time, I'm in trouble x'D

aegilrod · Feb '17

We're all in the same boat but we can make it! Let's just work nonstop without sleeping
It looks clearer now, you're doing great, keep it up!

You are further than me in progress if that helps

XENA · Feb '17

@aeguilrod Yeaa that sound like a plan, we can make it!
We have to eat, listen music and have little bit fire in our ass.

No that did not help

aegilrod · Feb '17

Hell yeah!

XENA · Feb '17

Update!
Try to start to paint this

XENA · Feb '17

I don't have time anymore to continue this, because the school projects deadlines is coming fast too xD
So here are the finished pieces.

Consept sheets

Final Illustration

If I would do this again and I would have more time, I would totally do something simple next time and put more effort for planing the character. Otherwise I'm really happy with these creations working in 9 days after school.

I did learn a lot to others and my mistakes and it will be easier to start doing another one next time

This have been grate opportunity, all thanks to Cubebrush and the judges!
