Okay, so my computer had sort of a meltdown and I haven't been i able to use PS. I've had pens and papers tho, so there have been some thinking and drawing. I'll write down my thoughts about her backstory tomorrow.
Meanwhile I have thought some about her appereance. I want her slim, as someone who spend her physical energy on magic. My one idea I've really liked so far is a big cloak, lightening, illuminating or fading from her head to her feet. Her pants should be soft and light - colored and have these straps crossing down her legs and forming a sort of footwraps. I initially thought about a staff to channel her magic but now I'm considering other items to concentrate her power - maybe a growing branch or part of her jewelry. The strange top is from me realizing that she can't be topless - my first idea. Right before uploading I realize that the rules forbid nudity - this top is me censoring haha. I'm not into this half - covered idea and I'm thinking about some kind of polo shirt that actually covers everything.
So far I'm really enjoying this challenge. I've never done anything like this, so I'm trying to have at least a familiar work process. I study arcitecture, so this is a lot like me trying to design buildings - I tend to get concrete early and then modify or completely drop my initial idea for things that come up along the way. Let's see how that work out!
Seeing everyone elses work is really nice and I'd be grateful for any kind of critic or help!
