Why not an extension of her arm(s) instead of finding handle for this weapon ? ^^
Just an idea like that, but that's maybe silly.

I'll see what I can do about it

@PeterH Thank you for the suggestion you gave me a while back
Here's a sketch and color test for obsidian. I will redraw the whole poses as it looks off but for now I have to figure out a lot of stuff like how to render obsidian to a finished state


Disregard the upper body I have a lot to fix :grin:

Looking interesting so far ^^
Keep it up !

I knew I was missing something! I finally found your topic!
Pretty cool idea! You're doing well so far :smile:
Don't forget to find badass references to get an even more badass rendering ! :smiley:

Thx man :smile: I founds some refs but showing the texture in a small area is kinda hard and it is stylized but this is a test run

there's some more in my stash

You're welcome! :smile:
Nice, do you have some lava in fusion refs too? Those stuff are so beautiful!

Well then, you can't go wrong with all of this! :smiley:

I only have the regret of not doing enough material studies :sweat_smile:

You can still practice directly on your character! And it's digital, so you can make some mistakes it's fine! :smiley:

Go! go! go! I guess it's already in the oven but: Sharpen some shapes!

today I'm gonna work on this all day

10 days later

Haven't been posting for a long time, I'm almost done with the turnaround, I laid in the flat colors. The idea behind the wings is that when she captures souls (you can see silhouettes in the flames), she can use those to make the flames more powerful an so I sketched out the general shapes ( don't worry I will make it look like fire). Now I will get rid of the messy lines and render as fast as I can, will probably cell shade the back view


comments and critiques are more are appreciated
