Update === Final submission post ===== !
So here 's my final submit for Artwar3 ! the deadline was tight so I have to sacrifice quality over speed so definitely I would come back and finish her further after this but that would be after the challenge end !

============= First Post ===============
Here 's my entry this time !

Doctor Dead Lily, being both a scientist and a shaman, she summons and controls the infinite spirits of the Crimson Army from hell, the soul of every dead warriors ever across the universe.

below are some highlight picks from my ref board

and an early sketch

I see you're starting strong already! Judging from the sketch, it will be epic. But the thing I like the most is really her name XD.

Just posting here now so I can seem them future updates. I can't wait to see more. Glad you found an idea to work with.

It will be interesting to see how you handle the little creatures. Good luck : )

[pearforceone]

cant wait to see what you come up with, i loved your artwar 2 character <3

[skullguzma]

I’m very excited for this thread! Your art makes me want to try my hand at 3D!

[phungdinhdung]

Thank you everyone for the comments ! <3
so, from my previous experience, gotta spend a little more time on the concept stage .
I ve been playing around with the pose so still feel a bit difficult to choose which pose to go for ,

[malcom]

In my opinion, I like pose 1, but, I also like pose 2 because she's not floating. To me, it gives the feeling of someone powerful who can raise creatures right from under her without missing a beat as she walks to claim whats hers.

Regardless both are awesome. I can see why your struggling picking between the 3.

[cedricgo]

I'll agree with malcom. All are really nice, but I think 1 is my favorite. Maybe having her be in the middle of the creatures, as if they were popping out all around her, instead of having them appear only behind her would be cool though.

[phungdinhdung]

@malcom @cedricgo : Thanks guys ! much appreciated of your inputs ! am working on the 4th version now , trying to intergrate all the good points of those options into 1 , might not be a perfect one for all but would be the best compromised option.

[phungdinhdung]

after playing around with ideas and pose options, here 's my final take on Dr.DeadLily pose !
Thank you so much for your inputs . I actually went for a pose mixing between 1 and 3 and a little bit of 2 ( the walking leg ) .
the flame underneath is actually taking form a Dead Spider Lily Flower which represent Death.

[malcom]

amazing work. what else is there to add. This works really well. I just wonder what colors you'll be using as well as how they may or may not change the character design. I really love the skeleton creature and how there coming out from the flame. I look forward to further progress.

[alex_jareno]

Really nice start! keep it going

[phungdinhdung]

@malcom , @alex_jareno : Thank you guys for the comment ! here come the color concept,
finding the right color scheme for this one is actually challenged and interesting at the same time XD !
at the end I decided to go for a very vivid red theme that match the Dead Spider Lily flower.

Great concept mate!

[cedricgo]

Man this looks so awesome! It could almost be your final illustration as it is XD

[Gil_Ascher]

this is epic and beautiful! im so glad you're back! I love your work, love the colors and her direction, can't wait to see this in 3d!

[CanvasEngineer]

this is too cool. I really can't wait to see what you do with the 3d aspect. Awesome job.

[lad]

Really awesome as always man! I admire the time you spend on your concept, and the quality of it ^^ can't wait to see your 3D version of her !

[nevs38]

Nailed the concept! OMG
My fav color too<3
Wishing you all the best! The 3d work is gonna be epic!
