@romain.dew I think the hair will emit light, and yes I agree on the third option as well thanks!
@nesokaiyoh yes I am thinking about doing that as well, thanks so much!
@nesokaiyoh Well I was thinking that the hair might catch/ store objects in her surroundings, or reflect her emotional state?
Back again with another iteration of the previous post, fixed up the back shoulder and figuring out how to include the water emblem in the design-
maybe she holds an abalone-type shell with the swirls inlaid on it?
I was also wondering if the hair could grow as more things are stored in it- like a portable chest for her staff/hook...
Because I have so much free time, and no better way to spend it- I've done a "quick" proof-of-concept of my character vs one of the other elements- in this case Fire , and maybe Earth
?
This won't be what my final entry is based on at the moment, but I thought I'd share it anyway as progress is progress!
P.S: I should really give her a proper name by now, I'll look into it
P.P.S: Pro-tip- painting everything on one layer takes much, much longer than painting on separate layers..
@nesokaiyoh Thankyou so much! I want to more fully flesh out her design before I commit to an image concept, but I like exploring different ideas aha
@nesokaiyoh Aha yes it's a continual struggle
Hi Everyone, since I'm in the middle of moving house and work, I've been away from the computer for a while, ended up watching @marc's ArtWar entry YouTube vid for some tips.
This was the semi-finished result- keeping in mind I have a way to go in terms of details- with further random thoughts below :
1. I tried using the rule of thirds and layering ideas from the ArtWar video, which definitely helped in the design process, but more refining is needed still..
2. I drew a lot of inspiration of this design from Disney's Moana and Kida from Atlantis The Lost Empire, with the tattoos and hooked weapons
3. I thought the use of an anchor's shape language in the design of the weapon and neckpiece was quite interesting to play with, therefore I am considering naming my heroine "Anchora" or "Ankora" or "Aang-Korra" (ha gettit )
Anyway, after I finish this image up I should be ready to start my composition %finally%!
Cheers
