Hello art warriors!!! Cubebrush has called to arms for once again
So let's do this
I've chosen the Dark side and created a short mini-story about my Dark Champion to help me visualize him through the process.

I Love to mix medieval and Sci-fi elements so my champion will be an evil necromancers ghost.
She or he I haven't determined the sex yet, the ghost is connected with a hi-tech mech bodysuit which helps the specter to gain a solid body and be consistent with our material world.

Here are the final pieces, I really enjoyed this one, good luck to all warriors

Necroqueen will rise Darkness will fall...

Step 1 Iconoclast Logo design.
I have created a handmade logo design for my hero to help me dive even more into his universe and use it later on my character's sheet.
Here's my logo wip

Almost done

Step 2 Generate quick concept ideas.
I'm using an Aquarell graphite to sketch my ideas and try to stay as loose as possible.
I keep my mind focused creating as many silhouettes as I can.

Step 3 Adding details
I come back into my silhouettes and start adding some details using a 2b Pencil and my Aquarell graphite.

Step 4 putting it all together into the concept templates.
Now comes the rough part, I must decide which one I'll stick with and develop... argh

Necroqueen a) - b)

Necroqueen c) - d)

Necroqueen e) - f)

Necroqueen g) - h)

Necroqueen i) - j)

Step 5 jump into the digital process, I'm going for the F) option and start to explore furthermore my character.

Step 6 Cleaning process time here's where the real fun begins, time to be accurate and make some design decisions.

[innocent]

Hi!
F, without legs and minions? It's more original. Heavy artillery suit her well

[sanguine]

Nice work, it's really cool to see some traditional concepting:)

[captain_harlock]

Thank you @innocent I am also between e-f and b but I think I'll go for the f smile:

[captain_harlock]

Thank you @sanguine I love to start my initial ideas with traditional media because I feel free, Also I can create easily happy accidents and stick with them to create unique creature forms, hope you like them blush:

[captain_harlock]

Time to sketch my necroqueen versions!!!

Almost done with the cleanup process and thinking about the color palette.
Next step is to transfer my character sheet to the final layout setting and start applying the colors.

[meonika]

Wow! So detailed and ominous concept! I'm looking forward to see it in color and an illustration!

Necroqueen clean ups

[captain_harlock]

Line art is over, time to paint the character sheet and move into the main image.

[captain_harlock]

Everything is placed in, I'm applying the base colors to separate the main characters forms.

[captain_harlock]

The character sheet is almost done, I have scribbled some quick compositions for my main image and here I go, time is of the essence

[captain_harlock]

So far progress

Working some more my line art.

Coming back after a while into my piece with fresh eyes, I've decided to give my Necroqueen a proper hand gesture

Is time for The sword

[ivina]

How many details! It looks really cool!

[captain_harlock]

Thank you ivina

[captain_harlock]

After some reconsidering, I've decided to Reforge my sword to fit the perspective.

Preparing my image for coloring

[captain_harlock]

The base color is done!
My next step is the shadows layer pass.
I like to keep things simple and organized and establish a solid base.
