FINAL | ARTWAR 2 | 2D | KIKI Driver - Mech Girl (Light) | williejimenezart

[williejimenezart]

This is all I could get done over the holidays. ideas in my head though. hopefully I will get some of them on paper. I don't wanna fall behind.

[williejimenezart]

good part of concept sketches done. soon I'll start on the final illustration.

[williejimenezart]

More updates... character coming along. I'm gonna start on the final illustration soon.

[williejimenezart]

this is the first real look at what the character I've been working on looks like. Hope you guys like it as I continue. changes will be made to the end. more design sheets coming soon. crits are very welcomed.

[williejimenezart]

This is quickly becoming one of the fav character I've ever done.

[williejimenezart]

headed for surgery soon, hopefully I'll be back in shape to finish this before the deadline. really want to finish this character.

[williejimenezart]

So I realized my character is very similar to a character that exists already
D. va
Well now I have to brain storm and make my character a bit more unique and find a twist. without starting all over. I'll keep you guys posted on how that goes.

[williejimenezart]

So I wanted to change up my design. the back story was very similar to a well known character. So once I changed the story the design changed a bit. just a bit didn't start all over. she's now a mech girl instead of a gamer girl. she will probably keep the controllers on her outfit to control the mech parts. I think the mech arms look interesting on top of the mech she is riding.

[williejimenezart]

Hope you guys can make some of this out. rough under drawing of the final illustration. headed to surgery next week. hopefully all will go well and I can come back and finish this up.

have a good one.

Love your process, I think the idea of both the robot and the female warrior is very original. Great work so far! I see you are adding some feline details to both warrior and robot; perhaps incorporate some catlike details in the mechanics of the robot as well? (like paws or something?)

[williejimenezart]

That is actually a great idea. I'm thinking cat ears on the front side of the mech.it fits so well. thank you

[evehartman]

That sounds like a great idea! Good luck

[williejimenezart]

good luck to you too... (only guessing your taking part in the contest. sorry new to the forum and I have issues navigating and seeing your entry. can you send me a link?)

surgery didn't go as planned. and its gonna take longer to heal then expected. still plan on finishing this. not winner or making it the best it can be just getting it done at this point would be enough.

if I don't well this was fun.

[williejimenezart]

gonna try to finish the pencils this weekend slowly as a can. then have all next week to paint this over, taking my time. still can't even sit up, or be at the computer for too long. so we will see. I really like the way it's looking I just want to finish it. finishing it along would be an accomplishment for me.

[tecnomayro]

interesting concept
keep going

[williejimenezart]

its tough. but I'm trying to hang in there. wish my body would cooperate more.

thanks!

[williejimenezart]

well little by little. like five minutes at a time I got the pencils done as well as I can. now hopefully little by little I can get the colors done. laying on a recliner. isn't the best drawing position but...

I must get done. don't care about anything else I just nee to get done.

[williejimenezart]

well little by little try to get this done. I'm on so many pain killers and meds my head feels off all the time. but I'm trying. not gonna be the best but at least it will get done.
