Hello allies from the Earth faction, and enemies from other factions :smiley:
After exploring some designs, I've decided to send the Bee Keeper to the frontline.
She is an attacker from the Earth faction.

The Bee Keeper utilizes her bees, which lives all over and inside her body to-
terrorize her enemies. She deals damage over time with her poison attacks, and has great utilities such as scouting and crowd control effects, thanks to her bees.

Please feel free to leave your feedback and critique, it would help a lot!
Most importantly, have fun preparing for the fight <3

Research Phase
I want the Bee Keeper to be in human form, but parts of her body/gear would resemble plants.
The overall feeling I want is noble, mysterious, deadly, and alluring.
You don't want to go near her, becuase you know she will sting.

I know concept sheets are not required but I want to do it
to give myself clarity on the design, also it's good practice.

Next I'll start the ideation phase to figure out the Bee Keeper's appearnace,
maybe some mechanics and weapons as well.

2,3,4, stand out 2 was 1st ,but 4 is standing out a little bit more, i do like the outer activity on 2 though and drippings.

That's a great idea for a character! I like the forth one, because of her multiple arms and because it communicates a lot of her nature, but maybe having six arms instead of four will bring more of an insectoid feel to her.

Oh this is a really nice concept, I love your idea !
For your silhouettes. I guess the 2 or 4 at the most appealing to me, they have very good silhouette and it's a very interesting tape on the concept.
The 5 or 1 are great too but a bit more conventional for this type of character.

I like number 4 too, I'll see if I can design something cool resembling that. Thanks for your feedback <3

Seems like you guys like the one with lots of arms, I like it too. I was thinking the legs would count so itd be 6 limbs in total, but I'll try adding the extra set, maybe it'll look cool :+1:

Seems like I picked the right concept, I'm glad you guys like the insect concept too. Yeah, I was thinking of an earthquake emitting type fighter with 1 and 5, maybe with a huge rock pillar shattering the ground. Didn't like it as well so I abandoned it.

Thanks for taking your time for the feedback :smile:

Ideation Phase
Did some explorations on what the Bee Keeper would look like. Although this is very rough and vague, I think It provided some ideas which will help me find the right design. I do need to watch out for the time constraints tho, ideally I would like around 3 weeks purely for the final illustration.

Some really cool stuff there!!! Great work! Do you have any favorite yet? Or do you still want to push a bit more? :smile:

Black ink, 1st 4 on top, 1st 2 on the bottom, rough sketch last one stands out the most to me, the head dress is what does it for me mostly and the dangling bits between her legs.

I see 1st black ink bee(ing) strongest atm, apart from the previous one's i picked, i still like those. The 3rd black ink, 2 head thing isn't a bad idea.

Right now I like some parts of each one, so I'll have to make variations of them, then I should have a final design :smile:

Thanks for the feedback, I want to make the headdress work too. I just need to figure out if it's good enough to stay for the illustration. I think if I cover her face it might take away from the final image, but I'll have to test it out
