Stormy

MORE DRAGONS:

I'm happy to finally work on a bit of the background, but I'm still avoiding the (currently) broken castle walls because I'm still unsure if I like them. I AM a fan of the stormy sky though - clouds are fun to render. In the last WIP I'm finally getting to some light..it was looking terribly flat before. I've still got a lot of work to do with the light tomorrow before I turn it in to the ChoW.

More Dragon Updates

Here's an update on my Dragon Rider progress:

I haven't worked on the character much at all yet, but the dragon is rendering out rather well. The background..eh, I'm not too solid on it still.

Dragon Rider

Hey there, I have a lot of WIPs today of a Dragon Rider! I decided to finally jump into a Character of the Week challenge over at ConceptArt.org because of this week's awesome topic. Hopefully after this introductory challenge, I'll continue to participate.

The first three WIPS are my reference sheet (I'll eventually be adding a back view to the character), and the final one will be my fully rendered scene. I like how it's going so far, but I'm currently having trouble with the coloration of the dragon. I can't decided if I like it or not. Hopefully I'll get it figured out by Sunday

Render and Correction

I've had this update waiting around, so here is the render for Amelia:

I don't have much to say this time around..just lots of hours rendering. I ended up trading out the corset top for men's button up. The corset really didn't work with the overall feel of the character, and I think she looks much better going this rout. I plan to add some more minute feminine details rather than such a large statement that the top gave.

Amelia Update

Here's the design I decided to go with for my western character:

I think I may change a few things yet, but I like the direction thus far. My biggest hang up at the moment is that I'm not a huge fan of her top, so I'd like to change it but I'm unsure where I'd like to go with it instead.

Hopefully the long process of rendering/detailing will give me some ideas.
