I have decided to create a Russian shaman girl who summons bears to attack. (Bears in Russia, yes, I know )
Sooo... Russia is very large and has a diverse culture, so I have a lot to choose from. I will mix Yakut shamans, girls from Russian fairy tales, kokoshnik, matryoshka, bullfinches, bears, snow and things like that. Hope it will be fun!

A very rough creepy sketch of my idea and a sketch with a color base (the colors of the Russian flag plus brown leather and fur)

The sketch doesn't look creepy! C'mon Very professional work with line!

Several studies of bears because bear anatomy is something new to me

I prefer the last one because I like how she is in focus^^
A whole horde of bears and she‘s the leader, neat idea 😄

Thank you! I'm making another sketch now. Sometimes it's hard to decide what to choose : )

I put these sketches together to compare and make a choice. Which one do you guys like?

WeirdOwl 2021-02-19 17:03:18 UTC #19

I vote for option B. The most attention is on the character. Option C is awesome too, but seems slightly off-balanced. Maybe you could move all characters just slightly forward?

dreamsequenz 2021-02-19 17:13:12 UTC #20

Yes also option B
