ART WAR 4 | 2D | War of the Elements | Water Samodiva | kameliya-minkova

[kameliya-minkova]

Hi all! My entry for this competition is inspired by Bulgarian folklore. I have designed a Samodiva character and I reflected the water theme by adding a 'kobilitza' which was a beam with two cauldrons women carried water with from springs. I imagine her using the cauldrons for a mobile-style game for both attack and defence, creating a circle of water with them while spinning.

EDIT: I have attached all my progress in the first post here starting from my initial sketches

Soft and delicate, it looks great, but the water doesn't suit it, that's my opinion but overall it's great.

Thank you so much! I totally see what you mean with water not really suiting, I guess I could have done more to make the whole character more water themed! I went very literal with my historical reference instead!
