Hey everyone, it's time for a new post!

I retooled my design from yesterday a bit, what do you think?


I tried to work a few more floral elements into the design, and I'm really happy with how that turned out! The character looks quite youthful here, but I'm thinking I'd like her to appear a little bit older, I think it'll add a little mystique to her design!

Since I won't have any other obligations tomorrow, I think I'm gonna right a description for this character to help guide my design process. That's generally what most people do first, but I've just been doodling aimlessly until I got to a point where I found a story for her, and I guess that's okay too!

That's all for this post, check back tomorrow for something new!

Hey everyone, it's time for another post!

Last night I posted a couple design possibilities for the face of the character I've been working on. Tonight I'll be sharing the preliminary work I've done on the final design, check it out!


After reviewing my options, and listening to a little feedback from friends (thank you Vivian), this is what I came up with. She's mostly based on the 4th head concept from yesterday, with a little sprinkling of concept number 2 and 5 in there. I really like the tri-tipped petal shape on top of her head, and the three wisps of fabric (or maybe leaves?) on either side of her neck, they really help to draw attention to her face. I definitely think I need to work on her expression a bit though. I managed to capture a really cool emotion and look with the face of the 4th concept, but I wasn't able to have it in front of me the entire time I was working on this, so I think that's why it's missing from here. That just means I've got a little more work to do tomorrow!

Well, that's all for this post. Check back again later to see something new!

Hey everyone, it's time for a new post!

Yesterday I shared the first draft of the character I've been working on, and tonight I wanted to iron out some details before I continued with the final design. I really think the character's body is looking super cool, but her head shape was feeling a bit strange to me, so that's why I came up with these! What do you think?


The first option represents what I've already drawn, and the others were alternatives that I just came up with. I'm not quite sure of the feeling I want the character to convey yet, so that's why these vary a bit in style and facial expression.

I don't want to say which one(s) I might be partial to, but I'm gonna be exploring some more options in the next few days to help get everything finalized.

That's all for this post, check back tomorrow for something new!

Hey everyone, it's time for a new post!

Last night I picked out the silhouette I'd be developing further to then draw into its very own digital painting, and tonight I'll be sharing my first more detailed concept, check it out!


I think it's looking pretty neat! I was inspired by organic architecture and orchids, so that was what I was trying to showcase in the detailing on her figure. I think she looks a little too organic though, so I might have to tone down all of those curves with some harder lines to create something that looks a little more man-made.

Well that's all for tonight, check back tomorrow for something new!

Hey everyone, it's time for a new post!

Here's how my last figure's shaping up, take a look.


I'm not in love with it, but it's alright. I think that after working on these a bit the last few days, I've realized that the design I like the most is actually the first one that drew. Since I've come to that conclusion I'll be spending the next few posts refining her design, then maybe thinking up a little scene to draw her in. Sounds kinda cool, right?

That's all for this post, check back tomorrow for something new!

Hey everyone, it's time for a new post!

Tonight I'll be sharing the progress I made with the middle silhouette, check it out!


I think these are looking good! I also added in the detail that was missing from the face of the character on the left, I was a little to sleepy to finish that last night, haha!

Once I've got the figure on the right developed a bit more I'll probably do some more detailed character sketches, and then paint those details onto these figures here.

That's all for this post, check back tomorrow for something new!

Hey everyone, it's time for a new post!

Last night I shared a mood board, tonight I've got a little more character progress, have a look!


I'm working my way from left to right again and smoothing out the surface of the figures one by one. I put a little bit of detail into her abdomen, but that might change when I start adding in the rest of the detail. She still needs a little bit of work in the face and in the arms, but I'll be finishing that up in tomorrow's post. You can expect to see more progress with the middle figure then too!

That's all for this post, check back tomorrow for something new!
