Hi ! i'm joining this year again ! I chose the villains side !

my character is "The Seer", a villain but more of an anti-hero. She is blind and can only see through her bird's eyes, but this came with a gift, or a curse : she can see glimpses of the future and the chaos and destruction she saw drove her crazy. In her madness, she will spread said chaos and destruction only to later realise she was what caused all of that in her visions.

[ellenkei]

So this year i chose the villains' side !

I already have some ideas, about a character called either "The Seer" or "The witness"

Which would be a blind character carrying a bird (most likely an eagle or a crow) that sees for them.

I haven't decided yet if i'll go for a medieval style or futuristic.

My idea is that she can see the future through her bird's eyes and it drove her mad .

Hey! Welcome back!
Interesting idea already, good luck and have fun

[ellenkei]

Some new stuff ! slowly coming around with her design ! decided i'd go sci-fi like but with ethnic vibes inspired by Wakanda aesthetics ! Except i'll give it darker colors matching more the villain / dark clairvoyant style

She won't be a villain like ' i wanna destroy everything and everybody because i'm evil ' type of villain, but more because she can see and predict future through her bird's eyes and saw so much death and desolation that she lost all her faith in humanity and basically became mad ! that's my idea

[mr_dessin]

Interesting ideas.
Curious to see how you will depict that on the illustration ^^

[ellenkei]

Here are some comps ideas, i really like the last one I think i'll keep it. Basically we'll see her warping through time

[mr_dessin]

Agreed with you ^^
Although the second could be very interesting too.

Just take care about the "80% appearance" for your character !
You should extand canvas (or simply put her upper) a bit to see more her legs probably.

Nice design already!

An idea i got while reading her reason for being the villain
"she can see and predict future through her bird's eyes and saw so much death and desolation that she lost all her faith in humanity " What if at the end she realized that she's the cause of this and became even more mad because that's what she was trying to prevent
That could be a really interesting story, what do you think?

[ellenkei]

Oh yeah that's so cool :o i love stories messing up with time even if they're so hard to come up with for them to be logical ! but yeah actually that would be pretty good like this !

[cedricgo]

Really cool concept! I think it may be a bit difficult to really show what her power is, but if you can pull it off I think it will look amazing. Keep it up!

[rgdraw]

Glad you like the idea!
That could give a really interesting character, the one that unknowingly become the vilain in order to do go and in a messed up way saves humanity (Like in Watchmen if you've seen it, if you haven't then I won't say more to avoid spoil )

Forgot to say I really like the third composition

[ellenkei]

started cleaning up and added some additionnal sketches

[rgdraw]

Nice progress!
I like the mix between sci fi and traditional element!
If you haven't already maybe take a look at the outfit from Black Panther, it can help push this even further

[ellenkei]

yeah that's what i said a couple replies ago, i was inspired by Wakanda outfits ^^

[rgdraw]

Ah! Sorry ! u.u I read it and totally forgot xD
My awful memory is gonna get me in trouble one day

[ellenkei]

here's the colour scheme i came up with !

[rgdraw]

I love it! The red really highlight the whole design, great work!

[ellenkei]

almost done with this !

[rgdraw]

Nice! Great work on the differents textures

[ellenkei]

Here is the finished version !
