Here are some initial sketches. I'm trying to find my shape language and mood, and I'm also unsure of the style I'm going for. I'm not particularly happy with the direction, so expect it to change dramatically.

Pretty good design right now, like the floating appendages honestly, love to see how this gets fleshed out!

Gil_Ascher 2018-11-18 21:41:33 UTC #4

@lincandlincavitch Thanks!
@gil-ascher thank you!
@rgdraw hey, glad to see you're competing again! good luck to you as well

Here are some more sketches. I'm just trying to play around with some concepts and design elements. I'm still not happy with the results so it's going to be a bit of work to get this character working.

rgdraw 2018-11-18 22:13:02 UTC #7

Thank you!

And it looks cool already nice work

Welcome back and can't wait to see your progress !

michaelmuellerart 2018-11-19 15:15:43 UTC #10

This is looking really cool, really enjoy the organic shapes you're coming up with in these.

malcom 2018-11-19 18:58:06 UTC #11

Loving the sketches so far. Really nice shapes here. Keep playing with that aspect of your design. Keep up the good work.

ujinshamoney 2018-11-19 19:04:03 UTC #12

I really like the initial sketches you did, especially the middle one, with horns!

Gil_Ascher 2018-11-20 11:20:57 UTC #13

I freaking love the last sketch you can really feel her energy!

sanguine 2018-11-20 21:01:47 UTC #14

@rgdraw Thanks!
@mr_dessin Thank you
@michaelmuellerart thanks!
@malcom Thanks man!
@ujinshamoney Thanks! Yeah, I like the horns too. I might mess around with them in the newer design.
@Gil_Ascher Thanks!

Here's the initial sketch for my illustration. I'm finally getting somewhere with the design that I'm happy with. This may or may not actually end up turning into my final illustration. We'll just have to see I guess!

rgdraw 2018-11-20 22:48:05 UTC #15

You're welcome !
Nice progress very dynamic!

sanguine 2018-11-21 02:12:13 UTC #16

thanks again @rgdraw!

here's an update, just getting flats in and rendering the face a bit. Not sure about the color scheme, especially the skin. I'll have to experiment a bit.

MODOF 2018-11-21 04:24:31 UTC #17

I love the rhythm and gesture of your characters. the shapes are so fun and sexy. keep up the good work, bud.

mr_dessin 2018-11-21 07:44:18 UTC #18

Really nice flow and shapes ^^
Curious to see where you'll go with the colours :3

sparksofdawn 2018-11-21 08:41:46 UTC #19

Really cool character and as others have stated - amazing flow. Just the right mix between human and inhuman ^^ Just a minor suggestion - I might be mistaken but isn't her head a biiit too far back compared to her chest? (The armor might be playing tricks on me though, so take it with a grain of salt)
I'm really interested to see how this turns out!

jonatan-moonchild 2018-11-21 10:30:09 UTC #20

Nice work @sanguine! Yeah - shapes and flow is something that I like here too. Also I love the idea with these giant candles - great opportunity to create interesting lighting. Keep it up!

Regards
Jonatan

@MODOF Thank you!
@mr_dessin Thank you, I'm liking where the colors are at right now, though I may later shift them toward yellows and greens.
@sparksofdawn Thank you for the kind comments Yes, that is an issue that I plan to fix soon!
@jonatan-moonchild Thanks! Yeah, I love painting candles so I'm looking forward to that lol
