March entry #2 wip

Larue

Love the proportions and shapes.

Asyas_illos

@Braden-Hallett yes could have lots of fun here haven’t thought to hard yet on embellishments but can’t wait to dive into more detail!

Asyas_illos

@Larue thank you!

JohnFox

@Asyas_illos Nice twist on the theme. I love the detail of this hand in the pocket of this tail! What other human mannerisms could you bring into it that we don’t normally see in merfolk?

Asyas_illos

@JohnFox thank you! I’m glad you noticed I thought that was a fun detail too

Asyas_illos

Made some edits added a some barnacles to the spear gave him some cuffs and a lucky crab claw also a scar below his eye and some snippets from his tail to show that while naive he is also a bit scrappy. I want to add a tattoo to his arm but not sure of what yet... should I go abstract tribal or something like a fish or squid? What do you think?

Asyas_illos

Another pose down! Not sure I will finish this one on time...

Asyas_illos

I’ll reposition these but any feedback as far as consistency?

Julia Hegetusch

Hi, Im a beginner at this, but to me they look very consistent. Really like your second entry

Asyas_illos

@Julia-Hegetusch thank you beginner or not it’s always nice to have another’s opinions and seen through different eyes

Jacy13

@Asyas_illos It looks pretty consistent to me! The only area where there may be a question of consistency is the hair on the pose that's 2nd down on the left. Every other pose has that really thick hair, while this one's kind of flat. That might be to show his movement through the water though, so feel free to disregard entirely

Asyas_illos

@Jacy13 yes it’s supposed to imply that he is swimming and it’s flowing back for some reason I had a really hard time keeping his eyes and facial features consistent

Asyas_illos

What do you think of this layout should I include the palm leaves in the sitting pose? Or does it seem too busy? Is the hair more convincing now that I added some movement to the water?

Asyas_illos

ok ready for color! Should be able to finish by tomorrow ...

Asyas_illos

Well any last thoughts on this? I’m pretty happy with it

JohnFox

@Asyas_illos looks great to me! Glad I got to see it finished. Good luck in the competition.

Asyas_illos

@JohnFox thank you!
