ARTWAR 2 | 2D | Swallowed Necromancer | Remenance

Hello!

I will be creating a character for the dark side. She will be a necromancer who has overcome her enemy and taught them why you should always chew your food!

Here are some very early scribbles to get down the kinda shape and construction of my character's relationship with her past foe.

I liked the top idea in the first post, of some kind of outer shell that they have almost burrowed out of so have worked on a few variations of how that could be achieved whilst playing with a few different themes. Next up ill iterate and detail the underlined ideas further to work more on the overall silhouettes and see which structure gives the most interesting possibilities regarding where to place my necromancer, control mechanisms and ways of presenting her character which I imagine to be quite nonchalant or whimsical.

To summarize the three ideas to progress with so far are;
1. an outer meat walker similar to Dva from overwatch
2. and floating outer shell with a focus on the arms
3. trapped inside a clam, I imagine she would be aware of the visual themes being showed and would play the character to an extent.

First set of 6 iterations for the outer body. My necromancer will either lounge inside or be melded to the anatomy a bit more but ill figure that more once the other early iterations are finished. C&C welcome as always!

Dig it man One thing i could recommend is if your have having iteration make sure to expand your selection vs keeping them all the same and having minor tweaks, like really play with proportion with the arms,feet, head, body etc
Here's a quick example, note the differences but still keeping the same vibe you wanted in your design

hopefully this helps, good luck

Oh nice very cool sketches !
Yep minor tweaks could change a lot your very first ideas !!!
Somehow I prefer your first batch of coloured sketches...especially the ones with the tongue out haha (but that's just my opinion ^^).

Good luck digging your designs

Yea this is very good advice actually, Ill focus more on playing aboot with the forms and silhouette on the next two batches as the those current ideas would be better suited for a more final stage when ive got the rest sorted out.

Thanks alot bud!

No updates for a while thanks to a festive illness :')
Since last time ive reworked some of the original designs of the form ill likely take further in the nextstage but for now im still playing about with a different version of the outer body, either as a parasite or upper body encasing.
