Started to thumbnail some rough ideas, 1 - 2 min each. So far thinking 'archer leaping into the air, lining up a shot.' I'll be sketching some concepts for the character to get a better idea of where I'm headed.

Concepts for the arcane archer. The goal was to merge a mage and ranger look, and have an elegant outfit that frees her arms so that she can summon fiery arrows. Her arms, eyes and maybe runes on her skin light up and glow with fire when she summons the arrows

Update on thumbnail C, new angle and adjusted the pose

Started on the final illustration. Thinking an army fighting for the fire faction definitely needs a badass fire-breathing dragon :wink:

I like the action pose, it's super dynamic. And the dragon definitely looks badass! :smiley:

And here's the final! Been hard at work this week to finish this one as I'm leaving on vacation tomorrow. Made some changes to the design of her bow, tweaked some of the colours and pushed the details and rendering. Hope you like it!
Thanks all for the support, and good luck to everyone :smile:

'Cassandra, Blaze Caller'

Wow this looks so good. The colours, the scale and the values - really really amazing good job on finishing!

It looks great !
I love the dynamic pose and that dragon, imposing but blending in with the background.
