Thank you! I cant wait to see what you do with NoKor!
Gonna be an interesting one... they destroyed their culture quite thourougly, lets see what can be done about it.
wow, that is really beautiful! Where are you from, if you don't mind me asking?
Russia is a multinational country, I am a Chuvash - this is how our national costumes look. This is a girl's costume. A woman's costume looks different, like a young girl's costume.
Number 1: A more Military style armor combining ancient with modern along with some elements of the SoKor flag
Number 2: A Modern/Subdued goddess style, think goddess but was born to a lower class. Again, including some elements of the South Korean flag.
this is what the basic costume of our female protector looks like
Third Costume, And honestly, the idea for this one is growing on me.
A Goddess who uses music as her main weapon, through use of a magical Gayageum.
Since everyone has posted a mood board, I figure why the heck not. Its only fair I let you guys see mine.
love this theme! good luck with it being your first time! i bet you art will turn out great and i can't wait to see how you continue this as it already looks freaking cool!
Thank you! I cant wait to see how yours develops!
Haha I was thinking the same thing for south korea Ill either do that or something for Ireland. Good Luck!
Well, here is the first sheet of my process so far
One piece of advice I was given by a dear friend and mentor that I'm passing on to you - don't draw hard outlines for the breasts. Imply them with cloth folds, but don't outline them. Mainly because in real life breasts are volumes, and when you draw them with such strong outlines you flatten their forms. Use shading and cloth folds to imply the volume of the breasts instead of drawing their forms directly.
As for the rest of your design, I love that you are starting with the torso and leaving the face alone - that's a great way to keep your overall anatomy solid. Faces are the nice treat that you earn by having a good torso drawing!
I'm still not clear on what animal she is supposed to incorporate - is she a tiger-woman, a fox-woman, or a lynx/small cat woman? Tigers have very bulky, muscular forms that you'll want to bring forward in her design, especially with their shoulders and arms, otherwise it is tough to read what animal she is supposed to represent. It might sound silly, but take a look at the tiger designs that Disney puts out - they really capture the heft and gesture of tigers well.
Thanks, Ill try to keep these in mind in the Future! I'm glad I'm okay otherwise, only started drawing about 1 and a half years ago. so some things I'm still learning!
there are many beautiful traditional costumes in the Siberia and Middle Asia)
While I want to show off all the poses that ive been working on, this is the first one done, so..Ill just post this one and hope it suffices until I have the others done.
I was having a difficult time trying to figure out how she would attack with a magical instrument. Then someone mentioned a scene from an old kung fu movie. And well...here we are! XD
poses I've been working on the last few days. been having a nasty case of depression so...I don't think it looks all that great. but, because I know that probably isn't the case, Imma post it! see what you all think.
I like number 1 and 3, and I have been playing around with this idea that her Gayageum, the instrument, can take the form of whatever weapon its bound owner needs, from any period the owner as long as its owner can clearly picture the weapon in question.
Wow! Great entry especially for a first time! Out of your last three, I like the idea of her playing a musical instrument, but not sure you can make it too dynamic. Maybe more aggressive arm movements?
Perhaps! I also have another idea that has been floating around in my mind for the last couple of days. but, it goes in another direction, and I wanted to get this semi done first so I have something to come back too, just in case It doesn't work out.
