ART WAR 3 | 2D | Villains | Evil entity with form | armando035

Going down to the very concept of Villan. I am aiming to create a character that shows how evil itself would choose to appear to others.

Testing the shapes of what evil might look like. the true villain, the representation of what makes a villain be considered as such.

Here, i am detailing more the concept of my villain.
The way i am aproaching this, is that just as for a villain to be considered as such, they need to be evil in their actions. However, this does not nessesarily mean that a being is born evil/villain.
Thereby, i am aproaching this character as a younger, elf-like creature that has been through a horrible life; which has taken away the inocense and purity associated with a younger being and darkenss has slowly taken a hold of her.
In regards to her powers, i am attracted to the idea of her being able to lead and/or command the ones she kills and use them as she pleaces.
How she got this powers, it is something i am stil debating and it is something i will be referencing to in her design as i flush it out more.
Let me know your thoughts! for both the concept and the WIP.

Also! let me know which version you like more?
I am leaning more towards the one on the left as she feels more royal with the larger "crown" and both shoulders pads, but what do you think?

Hello,
I think you're right,. The left one seems more royal to me with that marvelous crown, but the darker hair (right one) looks better on her. I really like your concept. I look forward to your final illustration.

armando035 2018-11-26 16:19:33 UTC #6

Awesome, good to know.
I will keep developing it.
thanks for taking the time to comment and give feedback!

Here is a bit more work on this gal.
As you will see, i stuck with the darker hair and the shoulderplates.
Also, i am moving more towards the concept of the character having had been a "pure" child that got corrupted. Slowly i will be implementing some of features refering to this, as for example now, i gave her more expressive pointy and longer ears that have been torn up.

In regards to her powers, i am leaning towards her having them due to certain items she has on her instead of "she just has magic". The goal of this is that the character herself is someone who after being "corrupted" has chosen the path of the villains and now, has the ability to control and summon the fallen ( as seen on the figures coming from her)
Now, question for YOU, which ear version do you preffer? left or right? and what eyebrow style? I am personally leaning towards the no brows, but what do YOU think?

armando035 2018-11-27 23:25:48 UTC #8

Thinking about her hair as well, really enjoying the long, straight look, butwill probably play with some other "shapes" that kep the same features.
Stay tuned

Here are the versions of her hair mentioned with different hairtstlyes.
Here i am going for a more "mohak" like hairstlye.
I must admit it gives it a fun and more edgy feel to it. what do you all think?

vonboe 2018-11-28 07:26:56 UTC #10

Personally I like number 1 the most.
Other than that I just wanted to say the illustration is super cute and looking forward to see more

armando035 2018-11-28 07:59:46 UTC #11

Good to know, thanks for taking the time to commnet!

armando035 2018-11-29 07:45:16 UTC #12

And here is more progress on the gal. Going more for a necormanser beast master as i feel is more unique and not as done.
also pushing the wild concept with her teeth and now trying to decide between the smile or just the showing her teeth style.
Let me know your thoguhts

mr_dessin 2018-11-29 07:48:11 UTC #13

Oh that is one cute smile haha

armando035 2018-11-30 17:41:55 UTC #14

haha thanks!

armando035 2018-11-30 17:46:42 UTC #15

And here is the latest look, fixed the smile to be a bit more "natura;" added leashes to the creaters coming from her. Working on other angles , like her back, to better understand her shapes. What do you think of her head piece?

armando035 2018-11-30 22:41:39 UTC #16

ok, im starting to feel pretty good with her look, i might explore some posses and actions for her powers now.
let me know your thoughts.

armando035 2018-12-03 23:26:56 UTC #17

Here is the latest version, flushing out more of her expressions, attitude, the beasts she can summon and control, etc.
Let me know your thoughts.

PeterH 2018-12-04 01:19:20 UTC #18

Really digging the vibe you've got going on with it, I look forward to seeing how you integrate the attitude into the illustration.

mr_dessin 2018-12-04 07:57:40 UTC #19

Just little details but maybe you should play with her ears when she is smiling or looking differently ?
Very cool so far !

armando035 2018-12-04 21:11:43 UTC #20

Good point, i like that idea! will do
