Hey Everyone! I'm thinking of doing a Celtic shaman for my submission. Good Luck to everyone participating!

Here is my reference board for my idea. I really don't like the look of kilts but they are a big part of when people think of Ireland so I think a half-kilt would be interesting to do. I am also using the two official animals of Ireland, The Irish elk, and hare. The Irish elk went extinct because of their antlers evolving to be too big and I thought that was really interesting!

some studies for design tomorrow I really want chunky body forms and with the deer I wanted to see how I could push the colors and see how the face works. Need a bit more work in both areas but I'm excited for the challenge!

Cool idea combining shamanism and celtic elements - cant' wait to see your concepts ^-^

FurbArt 2021-01-13 00:37:33 UTC #13

I need to post! I start with some sketches Im trying a more line based workflow for these concepts to improve my DIgital draftsmanship and it has been a struggle! I decided to push the first drawing a bit more foreword than the other to just to see if my idea for having a thick line weight will work but in the end I think 2 and 3 are a lot cooler

Thank You!

Yea im really trying to get celtic clothing and style into but also maybe a 18 - 1900s flair with it too since a lot of Irish left Ireland during that time It could be interesting

A shaman is more connected to nature is he? Outfit 2 is very well designed, but I think the tie is... too much Business for a shaman, if that makes any sense? xD I personaly would stick to the arm tattoos of 2 and the little mask of 3.
In my opinion the deer as a whole fits better with the celtic theme so i would love to see more on it ^^ But the little bunny ghost is so cute tho🙈

FurbArt 2021-01-15 04:26:41 UTC #19

Yea 2 does feel like he would try to coerse me into his tattoo shop and watching the Joe Rogan podcast Ive been feeling that way with the deer too. I actually thought to switch the designs between them too to make it more thematic as I was the Deer protecting with the huge magic horns and in the end I don't think I could make a dynamic illustration with that so I switched it around. Thanks so much for the feedback!

I finished up the first one! I wanted to try a more line based style to improve my draftsmanship for this contest and I've been really enjoying it. I feel like Ive learned a lot. If you see anything that looks like It can be improve you can always say it! I love to hear your feedback.

Like the design so far, I think the stag idea works well. It also reminds me of the Celtic god Cernunnos (Horned God), I mean the the folklore in Ireland is one of the most interesting as its really well documented considering how old a lot of it is.
