I will go for a Japanese cyberpunk theme for this character and she will be using lightning through her body modifications to fight her enemies.

That's a cool theme ^^ Looking forward for what you're going to create

Here's some silhouette sketches. Kaminari will be using a holographic high voltage fox for attacks as well as her cybernetic legs.

Now I'm going to clean it up so we can work on the design to make it look like something solid. I think I'm gonna go with option B but feel free to give me your opinion

Dec '19

If I may suggest a few things,
Using her holographic Electric fox is a pretty neat Idea, but in order for it to read as a hologram, it would need a projector, so perhaps she has a projector gun that can summon her fox? :eyes:

Dec '19

Thanks for the gun idea, I was thinking to do something like a poke ball looking thing that kaminari would throw to project the fox but i will definitely try out ideas for the gun.

Dec '19

I am almost done with the design. I threw in some shadows quickly just to describe the volume. Now I will work on the flat colors and the fox but I won't flesh out the projector until I'm doing the illustration

Btw should I use sword hilt 1 or 2?

Dec '19

Thank you :smile: I like your illustration as well, it's coming along nicely

Dec '19

Liking your idea! Looking forward what you do with the holographic fox :smile:

The projection could also come from main characters palm so she could project the fox by pointing her hand open forward.

I like sword hilt 2 best from these two.

Dec '19

Thanks for the feedback, I was thinking about the palm projection as well but if she used a projector that's separate from her, she could use the fox as a distraction and assassinate her target.

Dude, you've gotten WAY better since last year!!! Good job :+1:

Perhaps instead of the normal diamond pattern on the sword you could try the lightning icon. It might fit in with the rest of the sci-fi elements you already have.

Also, it seems like there's something missing on the waist area. Maybe a leather strap or a rope belt to hold the pouches on? Just a thought...

Keep it up!

Thanks a lot! Good to see you again this year,and yes i will probably use the lightning icon. Also i thought the belt would hold the pouches but i might have to emphasize that somethings holding them with a strap

Looks great so far and the idea is really exciting!
About the swords: Does she fight with both of them or is the other one just a backup?

Dec '19

Thank you! I put both designs up there just to have options to pick from, one has a traditional hilt and the other one has a sci-fi look to it

Dec '19

I see! Both look great but personally I prefer the more sci - fi one since it matches more with the rest of the designs.
Really excited to see how it's gonna turn out!

Dec '19

thanks, and yes the sci fi design for the hilt suits it better

Jan '20

Finally found your topic! Pretty cool idea! Curious to see more! :smiley:

Jan '20

I'm in the thumbnail stage for the illustration, I'll post soon when I clean it up a little more :smile:

Jan '20

thanks :smile: I like your thread as well

Jan '20

Finally planned out my illustration, here's a thumbnail sketch. C&C's are welcome. I tried to block in a scene where Kaminari engages in combat with other ninja clansmen at a sci-fi city's rooftops
PS: will add that sci-fi into the background later

looking awesome, i think the point of the pyramid throwing weapon needs to face us a little more to match arm perspective

That's great! Very effective composition! I would suggest to tilt it even a bit more, I think it would enhance the dynamism :smile:

thanks man :smile: , you mean I should tilt the character right? yeah I thought of it before but forgot about it :grin:

Jan '20

You're welcome! And yes exactly that :smile:

10 days later

What you see now is basically my game plan and of course there will be changes, I did a line drawing over my character and now I'm gonna draw the rest or at least block them in a little bit more solid and I then will post it.

Jan '20

I cleaned up my character and I'm still trying to figure out the background, maybe I should change it completely but the composition would still be the same

Jan '20

I think This is gonna be a better direction for the background because I was trying to show too much if it and it was getting in my way so I decided to play up the smoke more

Jan '20

Nice!! Great work!! I agree about the background, sometimes less is better! :smiley:

Feb '20

Here's a rough color pass. I took out some elements to focus on the character's colors. I hope you like it and feedback is appreciated

Feb '20

Oh this is getting really good !
Really love the colours you're using (especially the lightning).

Keep up the good work : 3

Feb '20

cool! Reminded me of project skins series from LoL

At first I didn't think of it but after a while I thought this looks like the project skins as well and so decided to pull them up for reference

Feb '20

Quick value check, I defined the beaten up guys in the background a little more. I added some blur to see how refined they have to be before the end product. Now I can start rendering. I hope I make it to the finish line
