It’s taken me 7 years to finally settle on a design for my longest running character, Chelle. She’s gone through many physical changes, and each change was made as my skills evolved – it’s only fitting that my character would evolve with me. :)
So, I decided that I would make a post that shows the evolution of my character and to demonstrate how much I have improved over a 7 year period. Thank you so much for looking! :)
Hey all, here’s the color comp for Chelle’s Armor WIP! I’m pretty happy with how well this turned out, but I feel that I have a lot more to learn. And although I love the look of the colors, I think ultimately this portfolio piece will be B&W since it looks best visually, because the color comp isn’t final and I’m still working at it to improve my actual coloring skills. :)
I’ll keep working with it, though! Enjoy!
Almost finished! Finally took the time to work with perspective on the hand axe…hopefully it doesn’t look too wonky. I don’t have a hand axe of my own (though I will get one so that I can shoot reference pictures), but I did the best I could, haha.
Although I’m close to being finished with this, I have a few adjustments to make to the armor such as adding some alternate items (a cape, some fur, etc.) to round out the armor. However, this will be the last WIP I give for this piece until the final, so if anyone has any crits, please either email me (MIsaacsArt@gmail.com) or comment on this blog post! I’d really appreciate the input!
Enjoy! :)
Here’s the most current WIP of the Chelle armor concept that I’ve been working on the past few weeks. I decided to change up the armor a bit, working towards a somewhat opal-like armor that is made out of a sort of obsidian. I know that obsidian is not normally good for armor as it’s brittle, but I figured that it was tough enough to be used in this world, as the smiths would normally combine it with a strong metal. Keep in mind that this is in a fantasy realm. ;)
I’ll hopefully work on it again some time soon. Lately I’ve been doing studies in charcoal and acrylics, so I’ve been busy with that. Hopefully I’ll be able to upload some of it soon – I’m wanting to update my portfolio with some fine art work. :)
Hey all, here’s the current Work In Progress…a remaster of one of my characters, Chelle! I’ve posted another version that I was working on a few weeks ago, but decided that it wasn’t the direction I was wanting to go in. So! I took the time in the past week to work on a new, updated design. I’m really happy with how it’s coming out, though I have a lot left to do on it before I can begin to render the armor and the rest of her face. This will definitely be a portfolio item, since I’m wanting to work with concept art.
I’ve also included a scrapped design of a war axe that was inspired by a WoW: Wrath of the Lich King design. This was merely for practice in rendering simple rendering and designing, though I’ve come up with some other sketches that would serve my character better in the long run. :)
Day 4! I really don’t have much to say about this one except for that I re-did the arms and added in a new weapon – her battle axe. There’s quite a few mistakes, but I won’t be fixing them until Sunday. Tomorrow is my fiance and I’s 3 year anniversary. :)
Good night!
Another day/night spent working on this, and I have to say I’m impressed with the progress I’ve made! I’m a little tired, so I won’t say much on this, but you can join in on the critique session for this painting on ConceptArt.org if you’d like! I could use all the feedback I can get! :)
Enjoy!
Here’s day 2! I’ve been working on this since noon today, and I got quite a bit done…however, I feel like there’s a few issues that need fixed. Thankfully the people at ConceptArt.org are very helpful. If it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t have gotten quite this far, and done so well. :)
This is my current WIP – my character Chelle Ar-Niril. She’s a light elf warrior, who is cursed with lycanthropy! I’ve been working on this for a couple of hours between last night and today, and it’s a pet project of mine from ConceptArt.org. I’m currently participating in their critique forum, and it’s helped me a ton!
Keep in mind that her face is nowhere near finished…it’s far from it, in fact! I just needed a placeholder there for a little while, haha.
Hi everyone! I figured that I would give an update since it’s been a couple of months from the last post I made. As you can see, AeriasDesigns.com has been redesigned! While I’m not completely finished with it (I work on the design when I’m not completing homework for other classes or studying French – c’est la vie!) I’m fairly happy with the outcome…there’s quite a bit of work left to be done and I have a lot of other pages to edit yet. Also, AeriasDesigns is now MIsaacsArt. It flows well, and it incorporates my name, which I will use as a brand from now on! :)
There isn’t much for me to really blog about right now, but I am gearing up to work on some new drawings and paintings, and I’ll hopefully be able to start on more of that soon. It’s been a very exhausting quarter at l’universitaire (university), but I’m hanging in there and doing the best I can. I should be in my new major soon; I’m currently waiting to hear back from the school on the transfer, since I have to wait until the end of this quarter for my grades to go through and be reviewed. Wish me luck!
Well, I guess that’s all for now! If you aren’t already, why don’t you follow my Twitter account? I’m much more talkative there, and I update more frequently from my phone! You should chat with me! ;)
