Hey, that looks nice. Can't wait for the final illustration

@khulim @zora
Thank you both so much \m/

Feel the clock is ticking really fast 0_0
There's so much I have in mind about the final artwork

nevs38 2017-01-22 17:36:32 UTC #34

I'm pretty much happy with this ...
Key elements were created based on their meaning and aesthetics in the final composition.

This going to be really tough. Either I bit more than I can chew or I'm being overambitious +_+

Will need to speed things up..
But at the same time I'll have to think carefully as to how I should bring everything together.

Keeping fingers crossed.

The Divinity Staff ..

I think overall design "might" change in the final artwork, but nothing major. Will have to update the concept sheet as well.

nevs38 2017-01-26 06:59:13 UTC #36

Back view complete.
Lots of new stuff added ..modified.

Next, search for a reference pose.

nevs38 2017-01-26 10:09:01 UTC #37

Finally found a reference image that fits well with what I have in mind.
However, as you can see, I didn't like the position of her legs ; maybe I could have worked out something with the same pose, but then again.. I wanted to play around a bit and see what can be done to make her more "uncomfortable" or tensed maybe. So I used the biped in 3dsmax and tried to match the pose in the reference photo with the proposed sketch.

nevs38 2017-01-26 17:08:38 UTC #38

Did a rough line work and key light setup.
The Wings though ... might change .. let's see what happens.

For now, this is the lighting that I'm aiming for.

Mood setup and Shading progress.

nevs38 2017-01-27 14:36:18 UTC #40

More red! .. need to break up robe smoothness ; I guess I'll leave that for later.

nevs38 2017-01-28 07:52:05 UTC #41

One of many crucial parts .. her face.

The character design looks awesome!

nevs38 2017-01-28 17:35:24 UTC #44

Hey thank you so much dude !

berrysquare 2017-01-28 17:53:30 UTC #45

You are welcome!

Khulim 2017-01-28 20:27:01 UTC #46

Looking good man! And really interesting process. I've never seen anything like it before.

nevs38 2017-01-29 00:28:47 UTC #47

Thanks a lot Samuel !!
Tons of stuff left to do .. hope I get there man

nevs38 2017-01-29 01:45:46 UTC #48

Time to bring In the divinity staff .. this will give me an overall view of how each of the element(s) need to interact / play around with the scene.

Next...shading work ( .. FAINTS [¤_⊙] ...)

nevs38 2017-02-04 05:11:13 UTC #49

Progress really slow
Getting difficult to balance office work , house work and this piece.

Trying to pull through...
Anyways ... I'm experimenting with flow and few effects.
Somehow I'm not getting that particular "feeling" or mood .. need to change the overall shading to punch up key colors.

nevs38 2017-02-04 09:49:40 UTC #50

Getting somewhere ...

Weird combination but it's working .. quite dark though _
Will fix all that much later.

Slowly building up robe flow .. lots of tweaks needed.
