Here are a few more versions of her. Also I thought about a quick story to really get into my characters perspective and therefore making the design fitting her character more.

Story (real quick summary) :smile: :
Before realizing her own ability she suffered from not really having a voice and nobody really caring about her. When she understood her power she wanted to be someone whos respected and adored by other people, almost like a goddess. Gaving away her soul by influencing other peoples souls she didnt even realize how demonic she had become.

From the little background you give us, I think E and F are really good options.

hey malcom. im still in the design phase. these have nothing to do with the final illustration yet. The illustration part is also gonna be super hard for me because Im really not good with illustrations at all :smiley: . Sketches and Thumbnails for the Composition are coming next so Im really looking forward to hear some critique from you then. : )

4th interesting composition but too much free space on top.

maybe add some stairs beneath the throne so it would be higher? Also don't forget to add some design to the throne because it's too plain right now

I wasnt satisfied with the latest composition sketches so I started this one. Im pretty happy with it right now but I have one more idea for another composition which Im gonna try before going into detail.

another try. Id like to create a scene where she touches someone creepyish on the face while hes willing to sacrifice himself for his goddess. Right now the perspective seems to be a bit to boring. What do you think?

I don't think it's boring at all. The intimate composition is great for stuff like these. I am reminded by the art of BROM and I believe you can achieve something similar with this.

Keep it up!

This one is quite nice. I love the mood you create with dramatic values, and the design is really unique. I can't wait to see where it goes!

Just wanna thank all the people who gave me critic until now : ). Im still struggling with the composition... Heres another new attempt. The idea is that shes surrounded by here inferiors which are all painted black in the face to show their own irrelevance, bowing down to her. I also think I paint the metal parts of her design more iron like instead of gold.
What do you think? : )

@deivcalviz Brom is a legend! its such an honor to be compared tp someone like him. Thank you very much! Whats your favourite composition so far or what do you think I can improve?

@sanguine Thank youu : ) Im also excited to see the final result because Im not really sure where this goes either :smiley:

I think this latest one is the best yet! The face area is really well lit. Spotlight/stage type of lighting is always great for a cinematic feel.

However, the lower part is blending too much with the background but I guess this is still a WIP so iI'm sure you will still improve on that.

Keep it up!

Thanks for your feedback : ) right now I dont care too much about doing everything technical right, I just focus on a nice composition. It doesnt look good at all in my opinion and I dont now how to get this done. Or am I just overthinking and expect too much in the composition phase? Please tell me :smiley:
