@mitsuki-youko thank you!

@fogetfulscarab thank you i appreciate it!

@leo.glt95 thanks for the recommendation i will be sure to check out his work it would be nice to get a different take on tackling anatomy.

Also ! If I may, you used a Male skeleton to construct your female character
Not that a broad ribcaged woman with small waist doesnt exist but Generally it's the reverse!

Something I Use a lot to study are 3D Assets on sketchfab !

Here's a male skeleton : https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/human-skeleton-highresolution-model-657a31ed9704423c8c4e752fb2506a74

And here's a female skeleton : https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/skeleton-a805e4e130d545088737e7fc6ed95e01

What I do is i screenshot them and copy them on a page in photoshop, then put them side by side and the difference is just huge in the proportions ! getting used to these can help you eyeball proportions better for females and males !

But yeah, no rush tho take your time with this, anatomy and proportions is so hard man ahah

Good luck !

critique always welcomed

I really like the unique faces on the 100 heads challenge board on pinterest. So i re-visited some and I can see some improvement but I want to work super hard these next two months and see some amazing progress.

Good job! I would only tilt a bit old man teeth

Keep it up!

[mitsuki-youko]

ooh i rly like how these look and how nicely shaded they are!

[jasminerosepowell]

Really lovely work Jasmine, it feels like you have been making such big gains so quickly. One quick thing I noticed is that it feels like breast placement on several of these is pretty high on the chest. A relationship Marc had mentioned several times on his feedback recently was that the halfway point of the breast, or around the nipple area should roughly line up with the sternum, specifically the xygomatic process area. It would depend on size and support etc but I found it pretty helpful. That being said I still have a lot of problems placing them so take it with a grain of salt. Anyways lovely work and progress keep it up!

[jasminerosepowell]

Thank you so much! I will pay closer attention to this detail when drawing female forms

Moving forward witch coming up with some more designs based off my favorite silhouettes i did a few weeks ago.

The hands on the second pose are quite small so i need to re-do as it's such an awkward hand pose for me

critique is always welcomed let me know your thoughts on the designs too (if you have any) this is the early stage of coming up with concepts so let us pretend the shoes look good lol (i have to practice those more too)

[patrycja.lerch]

NIce designs!
I love her C and D hairstyles and this high collars on all of them. I also like her upper body outfit on B and bottom D. For A I feel like that thing covering arm is too heavy for an assasin. Up 2 and 3 silhouettes look interesing.

Can't wait to see more!

[mitsuki-youko]

oh these are awesome! B looks the best in terms of dynamism

C looks the best in terms of design but would be better with the pose and weapons of B

@patrycja.lerch thank you for the feedback, i really appreciate it!
@mitsuki-youko thank you so much!

Update on the design I may end up going with. Also trying not to focus too much on costume design as some feedback I received was that my approach seems to focus A LOT on the costume rather than the character. As a character needs to be recognisable regardless of what their outfit it.

Also coming up with this recent costume sketch helped me realise how quickly i need to be coming up with ideas and not focusing too much on "perfect sketches" in the beginning stages as concept art is about showing a bunch of ideations of designs that have been produced fairly fast but still showing diversity.

[patrycja.lerch]

I like this one! Great work!

[jasminerosepowell]

explored the design some moreee. going with one war scythe and when her powers are in use they will form a new arm (with her powers so it will be blue, sort of similar to how in naruto itachi uses a susanoo) and another war scythe. (this makes sense in my mind i just have to draw it haha)

[jasminerosepowell]

thank you!!

[mitsuki-youko]

woah its so cool seing all these character designs!!

[patrycja.lerch]

These look nice! I like flame tatoos and scythe variations

Can't wait to see her using powers!

[Pattu_w]

Such a cool concept for a character, good stuff!

[jasminerosepowell]

@mitsuki-youko @patrycja.lerch @Pattu_w

Thank you guysss! it means a lot

[Pattu_w]

i will go with D, i like the red reaper vibe, also red and white for me just goes too well together
