Side: Dark
Character Name: Akantha
Idea: She is a summoner of demonic creatures. At first glance she looks human with decorative dark armor but as you look closer, it is actually part of her. She can summon multiple forms of grotesque creatures.
Story: A god of the underworld awoken in her deep slumber. She longs to find and kill the gods who cursed her.

Sorry for disappearing! Lets just say I procrastinated too much playing games lately.. Here are my studies. I went straight to the front view instead of doing thumbnails. I felt like these are more usable than those tiny random thumbnails.

I chose the last one here but with less skin.

Nice! I really love your design :smile: I do feel that she could use a complemantary colour besides the green in the design, I think it would probably make the details pop out more. Can not wait to see how you will progress :wink:

Thank you very much! :smile: I feel like I'm also missing out on the other entries. I will check around for your works! :smile:

I can't wait for the illustration too! I want to make her feel as epic as those MTG planeswalker artworks.

Thanks for the feedback! I actually want her colors to be simple and minimalist, maybe like Malificent or Hela so I will stick with this simple color scheme. :wink:

Here is the finished front view! I'm doing the back view now. I like this so far but feel free to crit.

I have been playing starcraft 1 and 2 lately and I feel like I was influenced by Kerrigan a bit. Other than that, I also saw some epic korean artworks from sangsu-jeong so I'm definitely influenced by them. I think it's perfectly fine to take inspiration from existing stuff and make it your own. :wink:

Bad ass work dude! And it's true there's a bit of Kerrigan vibes in her but like you said it's fine to have influences :smile:

Great work! Really distinctive silhouette and shapes overall, and simple, effective color palette. I really like how you've tightened up the details in this last post. The striping/piping on her shoulders and upper arms is my favorite detail here.
Are her "fins" - on the top of her head and end of her tail - solid or would they be semi transparent. I'm just wondering if it would look cool to see some of the tentacle behind her head showing through those fins above her head. Just a thought...
Anyhow, great work, looking forward to seeing what you do with her for the full illustration. Good luck and have fun! :+1:

Great idea about the semi transparent fins. I can edit it to be like that. I'm really glad you like it so far! :smile:

Anyway, here is an update on the back view. I'm just gonna leave it at this style to save time.
