Theme: Fantasy

I intend to focus on a character with flashy colors and shapes, the way a good character should be. I am choosing fantasy because of the beauty plants and animals this theme can have. How about starting with some pretty basic concepts? Some shapes should be ok for now.

I really want to know what you guys think! Any comments, suggestions or criticism are welcome!

It's a nice start. Looking forward to seeing the finished illustrations.

Pretty cool armor design, hopefully in the next update we'll get more informations about her abilities and race.

[SleepSheep]

Let's continue where we left off! It seems that the vast majority of people I talked to preferred the last option. So without wasting more time, here are some references of inspiration and humor.

Nice sketches

Nice sketches. I like the earthy and nature based designs.

A few words she would say:

-I feel what the forest feels.
-The exchange must be fair and the balance must be maintained.
-The forest beings battle, it will not be me who will watch my place fall without fighting.
-Do not give me that talk of progress and technology. All beings like you do is bring destruction and disharmony.

PS: Sorry about the bad english sometimes... I haven't had many opportunities to practice.

great work dude!
the headdress looks like it could fall off pretty easy though, just a little tip
Do what you want with it, it's looking great!

[SleepSheep]

Any Feedback is very welcome! What do you guys think?

[eckzein]

I think it's pretty good, though I wouldn't say it's finished. The eyes and hair need their highlights to help pop the rest of the piece together. It's odd, because separately I like both the coloring on the body and outfit, the flatness and linear aspect of the outfit and relatively realistic shading on the body. It's just idk, I think something more needs to happen, but I can't really say. Also, I'd say the shading on the face should be simplified, but that might not be fair to say as I don't think the face/hair is done yet. Still, probly better than what I can do with color. And overall, It's good.

This is really cool. Cant wait to see the final result.

[mavkrogan]

Beautiful I really like the colors!

[SleepSheep]

Thanks so much about the feedback. Yes it's a little strange right now that you mentioned it. But this post is not the final art of the character. I'm gonna polish more this model.

[SleepSheep]

Thank you! That's the idea XD

[sanguine]

It looks really nice, but there is a joint missing in her leg. She should have two "knees," one that bends forward (like ours) and one that bends backward (like a horse's). Hoofed feet would never really work without it:)

[SleepSheep]

@sanguine Oh, yes, you are right. Gonna try it with some more references.

[SleepSheep]

for everyone! @sanguine @Iago_Cavalcante @simei @mavkrogan @siralln

[sirallon]

same to you bud!

Very elegant design and colors! I like the ornaments at the tip of the staff - I'd maybe try to give the staff a stronger global shape?
great work
