Yeah man! This looks badass! Really digging it! The perspective is really good, too! You should take this one I'm really interested in what the background will be.

evehartman 2018-02-03 18:22:36 UTC #83

Thanks! I am actually quite happy with it For the background I am torn between a night sky forrest, a skull and bones cave or a battle field that is some form of combination of the two...

wamslah 2018-02-03 18:28:04 UTC #84

Maybe consider mixing those a little bit? Like a cave entrance with some forest around it. Smth like the cave of the dead from TLotR? Just an idea.

evehartman 2018-02-03 18:34:43 UTC #85

Yeah a combination might work! I do have to make it war like, but this could be a great start

rgdraw 2018-02-04 12:01:32 UTC #86

Things are starting to look really great! Keep up the good work

eissa 2018-02-04 12:22:19 UTC #87

the new composition looks very nice i like it .. way more dynamic

williejimenezart 2018-02-04 15:17:49 UTC #88

Nice. I like how you do alot of study's and iterations to create your character. I think she looks great over all. just needs to work on all the small separate details. like her arm guard telling a story and standing on it's own. or the tattoo on her leg being more informative then just two strips. I also think her beauty is going against the fact she's a dark character. don't have to make her ugly. but cute equals innocent's. this looks like the young origin of someone who becomes a real badass later in life. like the new lara croft vs the older original.

Sorry if my option sounds a bit critical. But I'm only honestly trying to help. I like what you have your doing a great job. and I'm sure you know this character better then anyone. keep up the great work.

I LOVE this perspective!!!
It's so dynamic!! This is definitely my favourite of your ideas you've posted so far =]
There's a nice curving flow to the piece too! Very eye-catching!
..also the skull makes me smile haha - he loves her!

Tesat 2018-02-11 03:24:58 UTC #90

The composition is much better. I wonder what you're going for in the background

evehartman 2018-02-11 16:17:20 UTC #91

@rgdraw @eissa @lunasmoon @tbrk Thank you guys!
@williejimenezart I love the fact that your comment is a bit critical, this really helps me! I was already contemplating about the tattoo design, probably will alter that. I thank you for your feedback!

Phew, busy week guys! Hope you all are well, here is my latest update on the illustration:

Let me know what you think!

innocent 2018-02-12 09:39:31 UTC #92

I like those elements levitating on the top of the image and the general attitude. For now, it looks like her robe and braid are pulled up by invisible birds, i can see you have birds in your drawing, there is something to do! Another solution, it will be more interesting, storytelling-wise, to see this pile of bones and weapons moved by your heroine and get rid of the pointy robe. Just a thought.

rgdraw 2018-02-12 13:57:10 UTC #93

I really like this one! Your character really stand out, and we see what she can do, i love it!
Great work !

mdashow 2018-02-12 15:23:07 UTC #94

I love the dramatic upwards angle of the camera!
It feels a bit odd to have this low angle on everything except for her head (and the skull's, and the cobra's.) Admittedly, low angles on heads are a lot harder to paint than front views, so this ends up looking like a bit of a cheat, going halfway towards a low angle but not getting all the way there. You could try angling the head(s) upwards a bit to match the low camera angle but keeping her eyes focused on the camera.
Anyhow, wonderful character work, looking forward to seeing her all painted!

anthropon 2018-02-14 16:28:42 UTC #95

The composition is good. Have you thought about some Greco-Roman style footwear?

wickman 2018-02-15 09:07:38 UTC #96

Yes! This pose I really like how her "pet snake" feels. It is almost as if they are one and the snake is a lenghtening of her own arm. Cool!

evehartman 2018-02-15 19:46:33 UTC #97

@innocent I will definitely play with the lower right quadrant composition, and keep you suggestions in mind (thank you for taking your time!)
@rgdraw Thanks! So happy with your comment
@mdashow Yeah, I already noticed that perspective in her face is a bit off, will correct that while painting the illustration (I use the line art as a guide)
@anthropon Yes I did consider them! They turned out to be a bit distracting from the dress design, so I decided to go with a tattoo design on her legs.
@wickman Thank you so much for your kind comment!

rgdraw 2018-02-15 20:54:53 UTC #98

You're welcome

anthropon 2018-02-15 23:17:53 UTC #99

Cool...I like some of the footwear from your thumbnails, but I totally understand your reasons for making her barefoot. Looking forward to seeing your final painting.

meonika 2018-02-16 20:51:02 UTC #100

She's a really daring girl. I like how she's looking at us And you chose hard and interesting angle!

evehartman 2018-02-16 21:28:36 UTC #101

@meonika e Thank you! I really try to push myself with this one but damn, perspective...

Basic colours, a little bit of perspective, a little bit of painting and a few tears further:
