[Mellowochi]

A few simple thumbs to get real ideas flowin, my dudes

[janvill]

nice! I'm diggin' the 2nd one on top and the first one below.

l think that you could mix the posture of the second from the left in the first row with the blade of the left in the second row. Keep it up!

I'm a fan of the bottom right one myself. I think I prefer the ones where she is holding the chakram rather than having it floating around her.

[Mellowochi]

Thank you for the feedback! It helped me pick what I think I wanna go with! So here are still some pretty lose sketches. But I'm getting way closer to the concept and feeling I wanna go with.

I like the blade on the right side, looks awesome!

[Mellowochi]

A bit of an update on what I think I want her final design to look like. Still ofc missing detail but what do you guys think it so far? I wanted to give her some springy legs lol, I think it works better than before but still not sure about them.

[ambre]

really cool
your first sketch sheet remind me a bit what i tried to do for the first art war challenge
the circle with some sort of blades turning around,it's pretty cool but not easy to draw with the perspective
if you need help or advise there many peoples here !
can't wait to see the end =D

[Mellowochi]

For sure! Thanks a bunch!

I dunno what colors you're planning for the character, but I love the colors of the blade so far! In one of your sketches above, it looks like you have strings of light in her hair too. I think that looks great, and maybe they could help tie her to her weapon (not literally, just visually / thematically.)
The legs feel a bit anemic, but maybe that's why she needs those springy things to help her walk?
Anyhow, coming along well. Looking forward to seeing more on her. Good luck and have fun!

[Mellowochi]

Thanks for feedback! I've been super busy these past couple days but hopefully I'll be able to update really soon lol. And yeah I'm planning to keep most of her armor and stuff neutral to balance out her colorful weapon, so hopefully that will work well

[rabbitrifles]

I really love the weapon concept you have here. I’m really excited to see how the character’s colors come out~!

[Mellowochi]

Finally got the chance to get some color down! Trying to keep in mind that her weapon is going to be pretty colorful so I wanna keep most of her armor and stuff pretty toned down. Although I want to add a lot more highlights and stuff throughout her armor as well. I just gotta experiment around with it and see what would be best, and try to see if I can add more details here and there without making it overwhelming lol.

[Mellowochi]

Finally got around to getting some work in on mah girl. I think this is a lot closer to the final design I want to go with since I feel it works a lot more coherently. Still need to get extra details and ofc the rendering in though.

[Mellowochi]

Its been like 8 years since I could work on this cause of some life stuff but I think this is close to the final design I wanna go with at least!

[Mellowochi]

Thinkin I've got my composition set up, but I know it could be better lol. Any suggestions :D?

Hi!
Your palette and your character are super fresh! Make your frame wider so that there is no tengent between the borders and the hula hoop.

[mdashow]

...And make your frame taller so that you're showing at least 80% of your character (as entries that show less than that will be penalized. It's in the FAQ.)
Good luck finishing this!

[Mellowochi]

@innocent Oh thats right, i had just changed her size and didnt realize, thank you!

@mdashow I didnt realize, thank you very much for letting me know!

[Mellowochi]

Forgot, I never uploaded these quick sketches I did of her earlier on into her creation
