[u][i][b]Latest (WIP) FINAL

   [/b][/i][/u]Hi Everyone, Thanks again for your comments and I apologize for my late updates. I'm soo proud of everyone for bringing such quality character concepts on this forum. Go CGSociety! :beer:

Here’s my latest work on DWIV! I’m working on setting the mood right, balancing out the picture, detailing, and cleaning. I haven’t figured out what her sword is gonna look like! stupid me…that’s what happens when you put off the contest til the end.

Comments and critique’s are welcomed!

  These were done few weeks ago, and should have been updated these past two weeks but I was a bit lazy  
  
 This is my final concept done a week ago, so it's not my latest version. I will have the latest updated tomorrow.

  This is the final concept for Fenrir, her wolf guardian.

 ***************************************************************
 
    This is my latest update for this week. Although I'm still busy working on my conept sheet and modeling sheet, I've decided to begin working on composition for my final. I'm soo far behind, I should be getting these things done much sooner but sadly  we artists don't have that much free time. So here it is, my first composition, not my final. I will have more of them uploaded hopefully soon. 
    
    The creature on her left side is her wolf guardian, Fenrir. The figure at the bottom right corner is a demon getting slain.  I'm thinking of placing her giant white glowing statue behind her, maybe destroying a mech. I'm not sure if that's too much! what do you guys think? 
     
     Thanks for looking!
   
   I've worked on the composition piece a bit more. I'm still deciding on setting the right mood and making sure everyone is at the right spots. I'm still trying to figure out how to include her statue in the back, destroying some giant mechs.

    man I haven't had time to work on any of the DW stuff, but I'm starting to work on the model sheet. I guess I have finalized her outfit.. at least for now. I'm not too sure if the model sheet has to be black and white, I will probably convert it to a black and white picture and take out the statue weapon. It is WIP and I hope I have it done soon!

       Hi everyone! this is my first time posting something on this Forum and I'm very excited to participate in this challenge with all of you. I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to be doing but I'm leaning towards a female caster. Shown here is my very first concept. I'm still trying to come up with a solid idea so I will have more concepts, rough sketches, and thumbnails posted on here soon!
              
              Thanks guys and good luck to you all!

It looks fantastic so far, can’t wait so see more.
:slight_smile:

#3

good artwork and good design… maybe shes a little naked, try adding some armor or more clothing…

#4

Welcome :slight_smile: The female on the right looks promising. You should continue working with that.

#5

hey,

Nice rendering on the character. I like all the dangling stuff on her head. Can’t wait to see more!!

#6

nice rendering, but be careful not to put too much work in rendering while you are still in de the designing stage of your character. I’d opt for quicker thumbnails first to establish the design and explore different directions, before putting your time and effort into shading of skin and faces…:slight_smile:

This is a cool concept. Have you experimented with different clothing/armor styles?

#8

haha yea I got little carried away. I’m doing the thumbnail studies now, I should have it posted soon!

Thank you! yea, I’m doing more thumbnails and rough sketches, trying to come up with variety of clothing and armor. I will have those posted soon!

#9

Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments and critiques. I’m still trying to decide on what outfit to go with for this character so I have done some thumbnails. I’m probably gonna end up combining them all together and do another set of thumbnails.

This is my very first challenge in DW so please correct me if I make any mistakes. I’m not sure if this is allowed or not but I’m thinking of having this character be 1/2 elf and 1/2 demon, even though she’s on the Norm side. As for her class, Demon Huntress sounded like a cool idea. I’m not sure if this has been asked before on other threads, are pets, mounts, and summons allowed?

Thanks~!

well done start! from the last batch i like version one most… the shoulder with its white parts and the “feathers” of the head in red, make a good focus, i think…

#11

Thank you, I’m working on more of them!

Here’s a quick painting of her that I did. I trying out different method of exploring this character. I’m soo far behind on a lot of things! I gotta design her weapon, her pet, maybe her mount or summon! ahhh!~

Thanks everyone for those wonderful feedbacks!

#12

another quick painting. I’m still unsure of what direction to take.

#13

Stunning work Shiramune!!..the 2 versions are superb!..it’s a difficult decision to choose, because they are equally as impressive! but if I was to choose I would say the version above wins, but just about as she looks like she has more of an attitude to her, I like that she has fire!..solid work!!..

I’ll be looking out for your updates…very cool!

#14

Thanks Mr.Lee! It’s an honor get some compliments from someone who works for Ubisoft! I’m definitely leaning towards the above version also. I really love your work BTW!~

#15

I’m thinking about including a summon that can assist her fight giant machines and demons. I’m gonna try to do more rough concepts to come up with something totally unique.

If you guys have any suggestions please post them~!

#16

Very nice concept work! I especially like the flowing hair!

#17

Thank you~! I love your entry! it has such a cool style!

#18


These are her Scythe weapon concepts. The weapon is made of ancient stone material, sort of resembling white marble. My character doesn’t really hold the scythe physically but it is rather manipulated by her magical gauntlet and swings in the air according to the gauntlet’s motion. these are my very first sketch but it’s highly unlikely that I will go with these.


a different and unique way to look at how the statue of her mother holds the weapon…


a giant dart like weapon that hovers behind the character. I’m not sure if the weapon that big is allowed…?


An Old sketch that I did for character exploration.

Hi everyone, This forum is flooding with soo many brilliant entries! Thanks to everyone for wonderful feedbacks!

This is my latest concept. I’m still trying to grasp which direction, theme to go with. I think I got it sort of figured out.

I really expect your work more!^^
