DWIV-2D-Gaeasherald-Abyssal Siren


#1

War is upon us! This theme is superb, and for me the demon part really calls out for some Lovecraft. My goal is to create a seductive yet grotesque mermaid-demon-princess, which will be a bit tricky… :curious:

                   Anyway, lets all have fun and learn tons.
                   best of luck to everybody!

Thx Intervain. Are you joining the callenge? Hope you do :slight_smile:

Well, it’s time for my first crappish sketch. The idea is some sort of mermaid-temptress with a Lovecraft-looking rear end. She’s a demon princess that uses her darkness-power to disguise her nasty side and lure inocent victims into her deadly trap. Half siren, half squid/snail/lobster.

This girl has a lot of junk in her trunk

anav_83, Titan, artistcg, mrpeace and Donglu many thanks for your comments. About her weapon, I’ve been thinking and I guess a concealed dagger would be the best fit. Any larger weapon would just not go with the idea of the character (more luring and backstabbing rather than frontal combat).

Heres another wip with a bit more shadding:

A bit more on the concept: the squid/lobster part, instead of throwing ink throws a cloud of darkness that hides her monstrous side. So, her victims only see a beautiful siren with a sweet voice that entices them to get near, just within the grasp of her deadly tentacles.

Right now I’m starting on a close-up portrait of her mermaid side, so that you guys see how seductive I want her to be.
So back to sketching for me!

Gyorkland: Aguanten los Sudacas nomás! Thx for dropping by bro.

Intervain: You should definetly join, your portfolio is topnotch. CGsociety needs you!
BaronImpossible: Major ego-booster that you posted here. :bowdown:Really made my day.

GregStrangis: thanks mate. The seductive siren theme can only bring Amy Lee to my mind. So that’s how her portrait is turning out, only with mermaid features… Hope I do her justice…

Seven: Yep, she has 4 pairs of eyes in total. What kind of lousy demon hasn’t? jajajaja Comment much appreciated my friend. With some luck I’ll finish her close-up by tomorow’s night (local time, meaning 24 hs from now approx…)

inqy: glad you liked it. CYA around :slight_smile:

ersinerturk: support very welcomed, thx
