I then Created a few rough comps sketches, on the uniform to decide which SciFi style do I want to go with; from grounded to futuristic. Comp A was inspired by Airforce military uniforms, Comp B is inspired by the military and bugs ( i think i'm gonna work on this one more) and Comp C is full on futuristic android ish which is kinda cool too.

Will be designing the wings soon , thinking of making them kinda like a drone, or plane wings or even both! gonna visit a Airforce Museum to build my visual library for that. Constructive feedback would be nice :smile:

Continued on Comp B, adding some more details on it. elaborated a bit more on the wings (tryna inspire myself with the Owl Butterfly and Yves Rossy's Jetpack invention). Not satisfied with it yet, Gonna make more variations since its functionality needs to make a bit more sense.

Very cool design you've got here.. Will she be flying in the illustration?

Thanks! still haven't decided on the type of scene I want to illustrate, but most likely yes :smiley:

Been on the road alot lately, so had to rely on my sketchbook, I'm trying to revisite the design for the wings

Heres one of the comps I came up with, going to add on to it on photoshop to see if I can do anything else with it
Happy New Year!

Haven't touch my computer in forever, so im still on the sketchbook, here's how I thought the wings would work in its HOVER MODE,

Thought I'd rethink the helmet, so here's some thumbnails

and here's the comp and my attempt at an ortho for the one I picked :sweat_smile: kinda looks like a butterfly which is pretty cool. Also chose a face for her, a seductive yet motherly like face is what i'm trying to get at

aaanndd here's the comp, it's meant to double as a controle stick for the wings,

That's all I got for today, gonna try to get back to digital painting soon but for now still traveling,

Finally back on digital painting :') did new comp, not too far different from the previous one, but changed up her body type playing with her proportions. Made her shoulders slightly muscular to suggest strength, but kept her thin enough to be light in the air. redesigned her wings a bit more too and added in the new helmet design, Liking where this is going, think im gonna continue on it then work on the back.

Finally making (somewhat of) time for this project, heres and update of the Concept sheet changed the bottom wings abit (inspired by the stealth fighter jets)

Gonna start multitasking with the illustration sheet (since the deadline is coming haha) heres a super rough thumbnail i made, I'll be elaborating on what exactly it's supposed to be when I can, but it will be revealed as i sculpt out this painting in the future :wink:
