Nice theme and moodboard !
(how is the white fish on the left called ?)

it is a white half moon beta fish , the same one i was inspired by !

I still want to explore her design a bit more if I get the time, but I've skipped ahead a little bit and have been trying to figure out a nice composition. (And struggling a bit honestly.) This first page looks pretty rough but basically I was just trying to find some nice shapes.

Cleaned up 3 of the compositions a little bit, and might do a few more if I can. I like the idea of her dragging an attacker into the water, but I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out a scene where you can still clearly see the front of her.

Anyway, if anyone has any advice I'd be grateful! :blush:

Awesome work on the thumbnails! The lighting is amazing! I like the middle one! :smile:

Nice idea !
But it surely be a hard one to execute. Maybe you could make her catch just the feet of the victim instead of the torso ? This would add more drama as the victim has more opportunities to fight and we could better see your design

Sketched around and found a new composition, pretty similar to my previous ideas but this one shows a lot more of the main character.

Cleaned up the sketch a bit, added some lighting too. I imagine she's pulling a fire elemental or something down into the depths, and it's body is smoking and extinguishing as it is dragged through the water.

Didn't end up with enough free time to finish it this year unfortunately, but very excited for next year! :sunglasses:

Thanks! Experimented with that idea a lot, and it lead me to my final comp! (Although in the end I flipped her around again back to the torso :grin: )

The composition is really good. Sad you won't have enough time to finish it :c

Sorry you couldn't finish it in time, it looks amazing so I hope you'll still finish it later!
Great work anyway!! :smiley:

You're welcome!
Do you have an artstation or something to follow your work? Or maybe you're just here on cubebrush? o:
