As humanity poisoned the sea, Shio, the Sea Slug goddess, gained in power and managed to retrieve the Tides Jewels. She is now powerfull enough to challenge the elements.

Shio, Blast of the Sea.
I'll publish a clean moodboard once I have a better idea of the design.

Some ideas for Shio. Trying to think of integrating the water logo and the Tides Jewels.

4 sketch looks cool, I guess 3 body with 4 head and this little things around can looks good together

Tried some variations mainly with the number 3 from before as a base.

I decide a direction for Shio but there is still some little things to define.
Also got a more interesting shape for the anchor

Really love the designs you've come up with so far and super excited to see where you go with this. Only problem I have is if they are a colossal being (judging by the first image you posted), I feel like their clothing (from the most recent post) isn't matching their status and power(s)? The clothing designs you've come up with in the most recent image look like they belong on a character closer to or smaller than your average human (talking about the bottom-most designs, the one in the top left of the fullbody I could see on a behemoth entity.) This is more of a personal aesthetic of mine so feel free to disregard, food for thought though I suppose? Though if the character was closer to the size of a human I feel that could potentially make them a bit more relatable to the audience.
I also wanna say I'm very curious to see how the design would look with the tentacles on the back running up the spine continue up the neck and stop at the base of the skull instead of at the shoulders.

Great stuff, can't wait to see more!

Thanks a lot for your feedbacks !

Completly agree with the fact she won't be that tall with these latest kind of clothing. I was going with a god/mage type of champion but drifted to a pirate-looking warrior. I will go in the direction of the one in the top left (fullbody) and need to make a choice for the size.
I'll work a little on a back view today and post a reference board once I am done defining the design (It is kind of a mess right now).

I am done with defining my champion !
First reference board of what I kept.


Time to put some colors and make some compositions !

Put some values to have an idea before coloring.

The color researches made it even more clear that "human clothing" was awkward for Shio. So I went on something more organic and linked to her body.

Some details may change in the final illustration but I think I'll go with this version of Shio !

Hey ! The design is very interesting, hyped to see it on the splash art :smiley:
