The Anthousai are the flower nymphs in Greek Mythology. I wanted to create my own modern take on these nature sprites. So, I made her clothes more reminiscent of modern-day clothing with sparkles, a short skirt, and boots. I gave her wings like a fairy since I thought they’d be a cute addition and kind of look like leaves!
Hi everyone! This week’s post is a continuation of last week’s. This is a more dynamic illustration of the Japanese Water Goddess. It’s not quite finished yet because I hate drawing hands. Also, I drew her a cute turtle friend to follow her around because who doesn’t love cute animal sidekicks? Hopefully, I’ll muster up some good reference images to finish her hands.
Sorry for the late post this week! My inspiration for this week’s post was similar to the previous project I undertook. For this one, I wanted to focus on a sorceress that is inspired by traditional Japanese kimonos and then also her regular everyday clothing. I thought water powers would be an excellent contrast to the fire sorceress I previously was working on. I have a more dynamic illustration in progress right now too – maybe I’ll post that next week!
Continued with the same theme as the last few weeks. I took the character design I made for this celtic sorceress and made a more rendered/dynamic posed illustration for her. I thought the fire powers combined with the green outfit would create a compelling color scheme. She reminds me of a character someone would draw for DND – but may that’s just me since I haven’t actually played the game. Also, I feel like I may want to change it up next week with a new character, but at the same time it has been so fun working on this one character more in-depth. Stick around to find out!
Hi everyone! As I alluded to last week, I thought I would share my process on a Celtic Sorceress design. I’m not entirely happy with it yet, I think I may add some extra gold details to the cape/cloak design. Also, I wanted her color scheme to be red, gold and green, since those are colors often associated with the Celtics and their clothing, but I didn’t want her to look to much like Christmas. I also gave her a cute fire lizard friend! I’m already thinking about next week being inspired by Japanese Mythology and creating a unique kimono design.
This week I didn’t quite do a fable specifically but more of a theme. I wanted to create a modern female character that would transform into a magical Celtic themed sorceress. After some research, I found that the cloak pinned to one shoulder is a significant article of clothing that the Celtic people wore, so I made sure to include it.
Unfortunately, I didn’t have quite enough time to finish the pieces before the post today. I was able to complete the character in her modern-day casual clothing, but I still only have a sketch of her Celtic sorceress outfit. Maybe I’ll be able to post the finished results next week!
