Sketches 10

Another screenshot sketch from Avatar.  To try and get the most from these I am going to try following them up with a sketch from imagination  using the same kind of image.  The lower image is the first effort at this. 

Morgana - Character Development

Morgana Character Design

 

At long last I got to finish this character.  I did it following the Crimson Daggers Character Development Class.  

This is Morgana as imagined in the Japanese Heian period.  In truth it does not have much of a nod to that period.  It got a little bit sacrificed in favour of the design.  The character is magical but rather than giving her a spell or pet I went for a special costume based on a dragon.  I did some line work first but to be honest I am finding it hard to be disciplined and do all the design in linework.  This concept changed a lot as I rendered.  Not a very efficient workflow but fun.  

This character goes with the earlier Merlin and Arthur .

The Season of Goodwill

 

sketches 9

For a change of pace started speedpainting screenshots from Avatar.  Not used to working with these kinds of shapes but different is good. These are done in 15 to 60 minutes.   Forgot about all this design work at the start of the movie. In my mind  it got swamped by all the glowy stuff later on.

I did this a while back after doing some studies.  I repainted some of it again.  I was feeling it more this time as the temperatures have dropped.
