Hi!
This is my entry for DWIII. my first time entering a competition, quite nervous! I hope im not too late X.X

Race: Spirit/Ghost
Class: Clericon
Skill: Heals and gives protective buffs to allies and debuffs to enemies. (might add on as i progress)
Weapon: Staff or flying orb (still undecided!) Light/Holy power.

So basically what i have in mind is a female healer, not too skanky not too innocent. I'm taking reference from the pope (yea the vatican one), got inspired by one of the photos i found in the net (shown bottom). Planning on making her edgier/darker instead of a clean typical priestess.

Preliminary ideas/sketch:

ooh finally the initial post, i'v been waiting for this! :applause:
i havnt really seen any healers around, and a hot one! this is refreshing.
maybe you could use the cgsociety emblem as the design of the staff or orb depends on which one you are going for. but this is a good initial sketches, keep it up :thumbsup:

Decided to change her race from human to spirit/ghost. I think that would be more interesting, making parts of her transparent. Gonna try and see how to pull that off :)

Great start, good sketching! Already very resolved and confident looking! :)
(Heck, if only I had such a clear direction...)

Really like the full figure's head shapes! Keep going and I hope you can finish!

kenzoabeki: thanks :D yea, im trying to do as much studies as i can! hopefully more sketches soon!

elhaz: <3

Hideyoshi: ahh thanks for the support! really appreciate it. nooo, i'm still quite confused on how to design her costume, it's driving me nuts...but im gonna keep working on it until i puke!

And here's some silhouette studies, exploring shapes and designs. Taking some elements that i like from the silhouettes and designed some costume.

Right now im pretty much stuck between 1 and 2. 1's costume feels more like a healer/priest type (kind of the theme im going for) but 2 seems to have more of a ghost/spirit element but i think she looks a bit slutty... (im thinking of making the character floating instead of walking, with her veil trailing behind). Im gonna try combining elements from the two, but i would really love to hear you guys opinions! :)

C&C please! <3

2nd one stands the best. If she's a spirit, lose her feet, make her float---->sunder bolong lol

I like them all. Personally I think number 3 is my favourite. the pope as reference is an inspired decision. It's nice to see a female character with a bit of dignity for on ce as well. Good luck, I'll keep an eye on your thread.

Hey man. I just thought. Is there light/holy power? I just can't remember. Just to be sure...

walrus

Yes, light/holy is oen of the valid artifact powers.

Great sketches so far! I like the first one too, for all of the same reasons you mention. If you want a priestess over a slinky ghost, #1 is the way to go. There are some great elements in #2 - I especially love the sleeves, and how their shape at the top is echoed on the legs. And I just like the puffy silhouette - but in the end it just comes down to which feel you like more, because they're not just 2 costumes, they're 2 completely different characters. But pick one and get going, you don't have a ton of time left! :)

Thanks for the C&C guys, really appericiate it! so yea i've finally decided to stick close to the pope theme and im still sketching out the costume. So meanwhile, here's some head studies.

I like the second one the best, it's gives more of an edgier character. Like the 3rd one least, she looks like a call girl...But im always open to opinions. :D

ps: i havent decided on the headdress, it's just there to show the basic color scheme im going for.)

Hi! Exellent concepts I like a lot number 1 , since her blonce hair and porcelain features add more light to her mood and power, but I see reason why you like the red one, I also like as for costumes (even I know I am late) sorry about that! number 3 the bottom and 1 the top, I hope it helps what I see and you can develope more pretty neat concepts as you keep showing congrats! :thumbsup:

Gotta say I like the first two better. The first one, with blode hair gives a feeling of peacefull strenght while the second one is freaky enough to be her evil twin. Nice going so far. Good luck!

number 2 has got ot be my favorite, contrasting the holy look against sort of a Zoombie possed thing is really nice.

Gough

okkkaayy, im kinda behind here, lol! >.< but here's the finalized costume for my character. going to replace her leg and headdress design with the ones at the side. The headdress is inspired by my favorite painting The Russian Bride's Attire by Konstantin Makovsky, so i went to research on russian headdresses and found some amazing designs. (ref at bottom)

next: turnaround and weapon!!! got to be fast!!!

C&C are always appreciated.

good job on nailing the design. the head piece stands out great. later, just make her darker later in color version to give dark impression, since she's a spirit.

Her arms look a little too short. Other than that she looks awsome so far.

The Face looks SO FANTASTIC! :cool: I am just not to sure about the rest, looks good but in comparation to the rest well.... maybe is your style?

The modeling sheet, gorgeous! And the concepts are also in the same level of beauty and well presented! I wish the best outcome for it! :wavey:
