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.

Western Character

Hey hey, I'm here with a quick update on some character designing. Starting out, here's the thumbnails of where Amelia's design started:

My general concept for this character was a western styled girl who'd grown up as a proper lady, then as a result of some incident decided to go rogue and be all...awesome (yeah yeah, stories aren't really my thing). Either way, this is why she has a mix of female and male clothing.

The whole western theme isn't something I've delved into before, so coming up with her outfit was challenging and took quite a bit of research. Admittedly, all of my boot designs are completely off the wall and not period at all...I tend to like embellishing.

Either way, she was a fun character to design and has a nice flow so far. I'll be posting the line art for the chosen design in the coming days as well.
