many thanks for your kind words @nesokaiyoh I really love to catch and display emotions - they're giving so much depth to a character. I'm currently writing my master thesis about expression through body language because I'm really fascinated about the whole emotion theme
Just started the research but I'm curious where it will take me in the end.
Anyway I didn't work on the artwork yesterday - sometimes one needs a social live but I did today and this is how a came so far - will start with the refinementment tomorrow - still a lot to do but every part is at least base rendered and that's a huge step
thank you @Sergei_Pakhomov I wish you good luck, too
many thanks for your feedback @yazziixx - I'll definitely add more vfx, particles and SPARKLES!!!! But all that vfx stuff is the very last thing I do because I'm getting distracted and it is way to easy to lie to myself and say "yeah I don't have to work this out, it will be hidden behind the special effects" which leads to unclean parts and putting effects where I wouldn't have them placed if I had worked out everything before
Besides it is really annoying to turn those vfx layers off and on again all the time to work on the stuff around it^^
Thank you for your kind words @matteoy.sarazin I have seen so many awesome character designs and beautiful illustrations, the decisions won’t be easy and I’m glad I’m not one of the judges
Soooooo I'd call that finished - I might have a look over it tomorrow with fresh eyes, but I think that will only be minor changes if any.
Initially I wanted to add some wind/dust whirling around her, but it totally destroyed the whole image so I deleted that. I guess it is enough stuff flying around^^ What do you think? Anything I should change?
Soooooo did some last minute adjustments because I wasn't happy with the colors - I also tried to add the ArtWar Logo somewhere but it bothered me everywhere But I guess I won't get disqualified if it is not on the picture
