Smore

 Western Fantasy Tank, Eastern Fantasy Civilian.

I forgot to post these

More finished ones.

If there's time, I'll be changing aspects of some of these (Most likely the Horror ones). There's bits I'm not too happy with in them, but overall I think it'll do.

Also, the Western Fantasy Assassin is meant to have really long legs, but the pose makes it look like a mistake. It's a shame, because I think this particular pose suits her better than standing ones that show off the legs better. I'll just have to explain it in the book to make sure my intentions are clear.

One down, millions to go

I finished the Eastern Fantasy Support. It brilliantly crashed a whole lot so about half of the video is missing (hooray!) but at least the picture is done. I spent a long time perusing Japanese pictures when drawing it. It was really, really hard to pin down what makes a traditional Japanese picture look like a traditional Japanese picture, but I think I hit at least some of the key points:

1) Canvas texture

2) Background (Will pop one in later)

3) Calligraphic lineart - though a lot of pictures had quite simple lineart, it helps to make it look authentic anyway

4) Pure black hues

5) Smoothy straighty "wavy" lines - I really can't describe it. It's just something I tried to get a feel for.

The basic idea behind this character is that he's a Houngan sur pwen from Africa who was taken to and raised in Japan. The skull is a mix of a Gashadokuro and a fetish used for healing, protection, divining and other things.

All the rest

I'm starting the final images soon so I'm uploading all the characters that I haven't yet. There are still 2 more waiting - 1920s Civilian and Eastern Fantasy Tank - and they are designed - but there are some things I want to change about the pictures. They'll be up soon though!

Well, it's time to have a go at the first proper picture. Wish me luck!

Eastern Fantasies

I began the new group last week. I got off to a slow start, mainly because of the research. I don't know a lot about Japan and I wanted to make sure it was fairly accurate aesthetically and historically. There are some sites that have a lot of good info - though some were a bit hard to find - so I've been trying to catch up now. So far, I've done Civilian, Range and Support, and I't part way through the Assassin. The colour scheme (If you couldn't tell) is black, white, red, yellow and a bit of pink.
