Born from the love of a bird and the sun in a world of conflict, she became the Sun goddess and protector of life. Her powerful light would shine onto the world, repelling evil from the surface of the world

Hi,

I know I'm late to the party so I don't know if i'll be able to finish everything for the 13th but I hope i'll be able to.

Here is a first concept of Oorun's face

Oh nice to see you there!
Looks interesting, good luck!

Thank you, I will definitely need it haha

It was a work out but i'm happy with the progress

Nice progress! This is gonna be so cool!

Hey and welcome to the challenge! Liking the concept and you made some good progress already. Personally I think the face feels better in the b&w version than the colored one - the rendering is subtler and in a way tighter. The color concept is pretty scarry - if you can pull this of it'll be amazing :o one thing that bugs me is the red around the hip area that acts as a strong focal and demands a lot of attention taking away from the face without being that cool to look at if you know what I mean. Hope this helps in a way. Wish you all the best and good luck!
Cheers

hey! thank you for your review. I do appreciate your thoughts but i like the design as is. Also I didn't specifiy but I was inspired by the Quetzal bird which looks like this.

I truly appreciate your opinion though

here is the finished front

Gosh this is shaping up really nicely. I feel very behind now... Still, it's good to know there are other late entrants as well.

I wonder, are you planning on giving her more sun imagery in her armour?

rgdraw 2019-01-06 12:01:35 UTC #13

Nice!! I love the colors! It's so good!
Any plans already for the illustration?

tithendar 2019-01-06 13:22:59 UTC #14

This looks lovely already! As a sun goddess, what are her abilities going to be? I'm curious.

limelissa 2019-01-06 16:24:39 UTC #15

Thank you! I.. think I won't add more sun imagery in her armour. I've yet to draw the backside so i'm not entirely sure. I want to keep the concept to feel like Quetzacoalt and make her look like a sun Goddess without me mentionning it or adding to much details... I might change the halo on her back... Anyway! I need to think about it more lol. You definitely did trigger a debate in my mind! x)

limelissa 2019-01-06 16:26:07 UTC #16

I have a few ugly thumbnails that I made two days ago but i'm still processing and looking for ideas!

limelissa 2019-01-06 16:28:37 UTC #17

Thank you! She basically uses the sunlight rays to repel/kill demons. It's a bit like the sun light benefits healing yet destructive! Also since she is half bird, she can manipulate birds.

rgdraw 2019-01-06 17:08:37 UTC #18

Oh! This is cool already!
And I'm gonna wait for more ideas then

HollyRose 2019-01-08 16:49:49 UTC #19

Of the compositions you have so far, I think I like the first one best, it's very ... Striking I think would be the word. Also, maybe it's just hearing you talk about it, but it does seem a fitting pose for a sun goddess somehow? Regardless looking forward to more, as ever.

Thank you for your feedback!
