Thanks! Its nice to hear that I'm doing alright!

[FurbArt]

[FurbArt]

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!

I didn't know that there is able to add text in PureRef. I will use it too))

[mystarryspace]

I'm excited to see how this will turn out! Best of luck

[EllyettWee]

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

[FurbArt]

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

[FurbArt]

If u guys have any thoughts or issues I can fix any critique is welcomed and Im grateful for it

[FurbArt]

Yea its awesome I keep little note about what I want to do with a piece with my references now all u got to do is hit ctrl + N

[FurbArt]

Thank You!

[FurbArt]

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]

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!

[FurbArt]

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.

[Brush_Tony]

I like your character, and I find glowing horns idea very intriguing! Just a small improvement: his elbows is too low, compared to the shoulders, and that's makes his forearms look tiny.

[FurbArt]

Cernunnos is actually why in the end I went with the deer design instead of the rabbit. Yea it is really cool how there still is a lot of history still found there but a lot of the older Celtic stuff was lost because they didn't have a written language and some shaman practices were believed to be too holy to be written down.

[FurbArt]

Thank you Ill try to fix that on the design when I go back in
