Moving over the thread from the other site. Didn't have a lot of things on there, so it should be easy.
Hi guys. It's been a few years since I've drawn anything seriously, and now I have a DND group with a diverse cast of characters as inspiration. My first project is my half-elf hexblade. Here's a rough face concept with base colors laid down. Feel free to really rip into my art as I need to learn how to handle tough critiques as well as know where I'm weak.
I need to make the ears less pointy as I forgot I was a half-elf. Also, can't seem to quite get that spiky punk hair I want, but I'm sure it'll work itself out in iterations.
Working on the hair, trying to see if I can get it how I want it to be. Been playing around with the chalk brush and I really do like it. My facial proportions might be off, like maybe need to lower the nose just a touch or just redo the nose entirely.
Critiques are welcome.
Armor concept silhouettes.
Found a posture online (terrible, I know, but needed something quick). I like the asymmetrical spikes along the figure more; brings an interesting movement and balance to the overall figure. Think I'll focus on pointy elements throughout the armor since the character can be a bit abrasive lol.
silentheart00 i dont know what to say , but i wish u luck and hopefully u will get the help u need ,
bon courage !
I'm feeling a bit better, but just because I feel better doesn't mean the problems are gone. I've contacted a therapist, now just need to take the next step and get a consultation. One step at a time.
Otherwise, been working on Kilyn. Expressions are difficult since I've never really explored that area. Rezzed up the image again so I can add more detail to the feathers. Probably the last time. Don't want to get caught in the cycle of making a huge file for the fiddly details, just big enough to come across as the right details on first look.
What an androgynous expression lol.
Switching gears for the current Sketchfab challenge. Going for a valkyrie, a battle maiden sort of thing. I've been staring at this for too long, so I'm not so sure about the design anymore. Oh well, better get sculpting.
silentheart00 Cool design! The falcon like head gear with wings and the points on the gloves really support the Valkyrie concept. Dunno how well she can fight on high heels though..??
ssmurfmier1985 Shh.... we don't need to worry about things like that.
I'm still waffling if this design should have heels or something more utilitarian. I might change that during the sculpt. She could always stab someone in the eye with the heel.
silentheart00 very cool concept ! i love how u r revisiting the north mythos
is she going to have any mount .? what weapons she will use .??
mmalhomsi Thanks! I don't know if I can sculpt a mount in a week's time in addition to this, but if I have time maybe I could do something. As for weapons, haven't thought about it, heh. I'll let it bubble in the background while sculpting.
silentheart00 I believe in some myths they throw spears with mighty strength, that would be kinda cool 😄 Besides horses I think they sometimes also are connected to ravens or some other birds, so maybe she can fly with the wing like shapes on her back?
Getting close. Must finish this this month to stay on track! Well, mostly on track. Still haven't practiced hands that much. Still working on the shoes and needs a detail pass.
Getting there. The skull stuff on the shoe might be a bit large, so I'll scale that down a bit.
Home stretch! Add the sword and a simple background and I'll be done!
*cough* Who needs a sheathe? *cough*
Done! I am done! This is the best I can do, yeah, some things could be better, but I am done!
