Oh and I forget to answer...I'd say B for the character, but not so sure...
I guess you already plan to do more of these ?

And don't worry about your mistakes, Mister non detective haha

[rgdraw]

Yes I'm planning to do more, this was to mostly get the idea on "paper"
I'm gathering a lor of references right now and choose the most relevant one, so I can get much more interesting design

Well I still need to do better for the next time I try to give clues xD

[rgdraw]

And here's more design research! Tell me what you like more, you can give your opinion, and of course there's possibility to mix some of those!

[s-stark]

Overall I'm really into the designs on the top row; I think I'm just not super into the skirt for the ones on the bottom row and that's my only qualm. xD

Of them all, the ones that you have enlarged on the left are my favorite and I can't pick between the two.

[mr_dessin]

The one between the 2 you've enlarged could be nice too...I suggest maybe a mix of them 3 ? haha
Do as you want of course.

Although the very last one is interesting too...easy but very good one (I'm probably the only one who like it, for sure xD)

[rgdraw]

@mr_dessin @s-stark I've made a huge mistake!! I should have put numbers on each one because I have no idea which ones you are talking about ! XD

More seriously I understand, but it's not as easy as it would have been If was smart enough to put numbers on it

So If I understand well the two big ones are your favs so far, but maybe le long hair could work too with those?

[mr_dessin]

ENLARGED (but yes you figured it out haha) - the very 2 first (2nd and 4th)...I was talking about the 3rd one as well...and last one (8th).

I suppose you don't like short hair, isn't it ? xD

[rgdraw]

Yeah I got it right!
I don't mind short hair I'm just more used to paint long hair that's why x)
ButI feel like the short hair fit more the character and I was curious to know if it was just me

[Gil_Ascher]

hi! i love the direction you are taking with this! I agree with you about the long hair on this character, and i really like all the different capes you used on her! i think a combination of the first row (all 4 images) would be awesome! good luck! can't wait to see more

[rgdraw]

Thank you very much!!
I think I'm gonna do a normal version and a traveling version with the cape, two for one!

[Ronaldo2991]

You this illustration was done before the contest, not specially for it?

[rgdraw]

Hey!
Which ones are you refering too?
If it's the first ones, yes I made those before this contest but some were made for the previous editions of Artwar, but of course none of them matter for this current contest
I put them so people would have an idea of the universe where my new character come from
Is it more clear ? I suck at explaining things so I hope it's fine xD

[rgdraw]

Some more exploration based on your suggestions, getting close to the final design!
I'm gonna try some composition for the illustration now

[rgdraw]

And here's the composition test I talked about earlier, trying to stay very loose in the sketches and not go too deep in details already, gonna keep doing more
Is there one you like in these ?

[rgdraw]

By the way, now that I have a character that's almost finish designing, a story, and abilities I should probably find her a name don't you think?
If you have some ideas already I'd be happy to hear them of course

[sasha-c]

I just read through most of this topic and am super excited to see how your character turns out! In terms of naming, maybe think about what sort of culture she has as well as typical naming conventions in the world. I picked a cultural aesthetic for my character and then went and did some googling of names that sit within that realm Maybe go for something Amazonian? Kind of fits with the spear aesthetic and leather armour

[rgdraw]

Thank you!!

Then maybe I'll have to change some part of the design because she's not suppose to be amazonian. There will be an amazon-like tribe in the story and this character is from somewhere else so now I have to think this throught, like maybe she waw from there and left to live in a different place
And now that I'm writing it I like this idea, so let's go with that x)

Thanks for the help!

[michaelmuellerart]

That design is coming along super nicely, she has a great mix of almost nomadic adventurer and some classic greek and eastern aesthetics to her. If I were looking for names for someone like this I'd maybe look within those culture's respective mythos to find something interesting to nod at. But that's just me lol keep it up, solid work.

[sanguine]

I really like the composition in C

[mr_dessin]

Not easy to choose...maybe B or D for the character ?
And for the illustration maybe B (but we should see the firefox somewhere :3).
The action type looks really cool for this one ! (and why not a mix with E / power lights thingy ?)
