This is an image I started towards the end of last year.  It was done just for practice.  Unfortunetly it was one of several images I started in quick sucession.  This left me struggling to complete any one.  Fortunethly Christmas holidays arrived and I was able to work to complete a number of them.

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 crimson daggers
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 .
