This is fantastic - love it!!

I'm thinking of maybe going a different angle than I have - I want to do the cyclone hair one, but think I might have a better idea...

[Axazel]

This looked like so much fun. I just joined!

Sketches and shadow:


I want to be better. Still in college, I want to work with concept design for games and/or animate. Any help is much appreciated!

[Retalliator]

Staticpen Thnx for the ref pics, i'll rework the wrinkles.

[InFlame]

Staticpen and Rusty....I think I love you....Thank you soooo much! The paintovers and advice are just priceless.

soupandbutter Wow...I really like your take on Gaia!
fdisk Cool. I really like the dolphin-dress
Staticpen...yum, yum. Smells good. When can I eat it? Nice colors, it's really coming along well.
leckronium oh wow....it keeps getting better. I like the colors.
JanJager I like your idea. Her face is looking good, sure thing.
Axazel Welcome, welcome. I'm digging the process you made. I'm looking forward to the final.

I had some time last night, despite the heat here in upstate NY and in my studio, so here's an updated version....
BTW, great work every one!
Staticpen- I really like the piece you're doing, and how it's progressing

[CrookedHorn]

third idea

thank you for the crits staticpen, and your piece is looking beautiful

ill get to the massive page o crit friday morning.

[Axazel]

I love how everything looks!

Blau I would really like to see here this goes - don't quit!

Howie the painterly style and texture of the background really resounds with the forest and earth in this.

Retalliator The rock looks like a hand holding her. It will be interesting to see what you come up with!

SoupandButter My favorite part of this is the pattern on her chest. I attempted something similar on my figures stomach, but still have yet to make it comfortable. If you have any advice, I could use your mark making eye.

PaperJester I love this concept! At this point is that your arms are not quite in proportion to one another. A beautiful sketch, I wish it was finished already~

xLouisax Nice beginning! I like the clothing, can't wait to see more!



Here's the direction I'm going to run with. A small update:

[Nonobot]

goldilockz - Ha! Yeah when I noticed I was face palmed, but with my fist! Oh the shamee~ I really like the multi-limb look, nice~
Retalliator Mm, i think it may be the rock behind her is lit, when it should be in shadow? Coming along nicely though!

I think I've either finished or hit a wall with mine. So i'll post it again in the final unless I do something drastic to it.
For a while I tried giving my character two belly buttons and joining them with an umbilical chord, but it just thew my picture off.
Great works everyone!

[JJParker]

Here's my start. Not really sure where it's going to be honest. Just wanted to get something in. suggestions/crits appreciated

[xabian]

alive Glad I could help dude =] and thanks for the feedback!
staticpen Thanks dude, ended up scrapping that background, got some better more fitting idea
Rusty Wow man, helped so much, especially with the face, just couldn't stop it looking like a guys face haha, still struggling with the feet mind you, gonna grab myself a mirror see if that helps.

Anyway cheers all, hope I haven't missed anybody =]

Well total re-work on it, still got the feet and arms to do, and need some tweaking on the boobs as there totally wonky and a few other little bits, like I'm thinking of changing the colour of the flower on her shoulder so it stands out over her hair.

[Grafguy]

Great work from everybody so far, amazing

Here's a WIP of my version.
