My first choice would probably have been 2 as I just love those type of strong, balanced compositions. But my second choice would be number 1. It seems like it could turn into a really dynamic piece with a good sense of epicness. Number 4 looks like it could be a fun light hearted concept with which you could really play with the atmosphere. So I guess it depends on what you would prefer to do.

@cedricgo Thank you for your feedback!! Yeah I totally agree with your reasoning, and so I decided to go with the 4th, so I could do something funny which also really relate to the Halloween theme.

This is my progress so far:

Tomorrow I plan to finish the base drawing and setting the mood, possibly start painting too. I want to add some references to the other heroes inside the cauldron, maybe avoiding to make it look like she cooked them (even if a friend told me he would dig that lol).

Ooooh, it's looking pretty nice so far. I maybe wrong, but I think you could push her right breast up a little bit. It seems to me like it's not quite in the same perspective as the rest of her body right now. But maybe I'm wrong XD It might be worth to just try to see. Other than that I'm looking forward to see where you'll go with it!

@cedricgo Thank you! Yeah I think you're right. I tried to fix the lineart a bit; eventually I'll tweak it a bit more during the rendering process. I always find breasts a bit tricky.

Final lineart:

And these are two quick mood setups:

Originally I wanted it to be exclusively purple-green, but I admit it looks a bit too confusing with her hair since it's the same color. So I'll probably go with the blue one.

Progress

It's coming along pretty well! I love where this is going

iuliae 2018-11-05 17:29:52 UTC #20

Aaand it's done! You can also check it out on my Artstation page.

The rendering part was getting pretty exhausting in the end but it was really fun and I'm satisfied with how it turned out. Here's also a gif process:

As usual C&C are most welcome

A little something to try out a different style. Wip

Also I'm really happy to say that my illustration was chosen as one of the three Grand Prize Winners in the Battlerite Contest! Check the contest page here to see the other entries

I like that different style. She looks lovely!

And congatulations for making it to the top three. I think it was well deserved

@cedricgo Thank you!!

First Pastel Girl done I think I'll do a few of these to keep experimenting a little.

iuliae 2018-12-14 11:47:42 UTC #24

Second one in progress!

At the beginning I wasn't sure of the pose, these are the sketches I did to find the right pose which would communicate the right character:

And this is the final in flat colors!

castonia 2018-12-15 22:28:52 UTC #25

Sooo cuuute ! Are you gonna put flat shadows too ?

iuliae 2018-12-17 08:38:58 UTC #26

@castonia Thank you!! Like the first one, a mix of celshading and soft shadows/gradients, I'm still sorta trying stuff out

Done!

Happy new year guys (a bit late)! I'm starting it with another pastel girl Pose exploration and final in flat colors:

cedricgo 2019-01-23 15:52:50 UTC #28

Happy late new year to you too!

Once again, that's another lovely character. I like the pose and her expression. She looks like a real badass

iuliae 2019-01-25 14:52:13 UTC #29

@cedricgo Thank you!! Glad you you like her!

Done

cedricgo 2019-01-26 01:30:42 UTC #30

Looks even more awesome with the shading!

iuliae 2019-02-12 22:11:10 UTC #31

@cedricgo Thank you!! Glad you like her

Pose exploration for another one. I'll probably do this and another one and then close this project.

I think I finally settled for the last one (5), I'll fix it a bit tomorrow and it should be ready to go This one was particularly tricky because the long dress will be semi-trasparent, so I wanted to show it without getting too confusionary and without using a standing pose which is a format that doesn't work well with the other pastel girls.

In these days I've also done an art test for a mobile game company, I didn't sign any NDA and it didn't involve anything company-related, so it should be safe to share here! I'll wait for the reply and then post it
