Viking Jinx

RachaelBriner

EDIT: Current progress



Hello everyone! I'm working on a Viking skin for Jinx. I haven't sketched up any compositions for the illustration yet, but here are some of my sketches for the skin and weapon designs.

Don't mind her pose, it's not going to be the final, just a temp open pose to put clothes and armor on.

Let me know what you think so I can make a final sketch of the skin and think about compositions. For the skin, I was leaning more towards a combination of silhouettes 1 and 3. The weapon is meant to be an explosive crossbow version of her gun.

Here are some rough compositions I'm playing with.

I think I'm leaning towards 4 or 6. Both scenes show Jinx in the middle of pillaging another viking town. 4 features Jinx vaulting over an angry group, and 6 is of Jinx leaping towards the viewer with her man-viking she's about to rape and pillage.

Hi Rachael! i like the idea that you're working on, looking good.

maybe it's a bit late, but i like the cloth desing of the nº5 and the hair Style of the nº1 ^^, over those desings, i think you could add the Shoulder armor of the Nº5. i like how it's looks, something like the image nº8 (on the cannon Desing chart)

and the thumbnails i like the 1,4 and 7. (actually, 4 is great, nice compo).

RachaelBriner

Thanks for the feedback, Alvaro.Knot! And it's never too late.

Here are some rough lines playing with composition 4. I added versions with light tones and rough/temporary colors for clarity.

I'm going to try sketching out composition 6 before I go any further. All feedback welcome!

Edit: Actually embedding the images. Woo!

Really diggin Viking idea, cool composition. I'm really looking foward to the finished ilust

Thanks Betty S, and yes, they do seem too long. I shall fix.

Trying out a second composition, leaning more towards this one. Yay or Nay?

As much as I like Vikings and Frljord champs, Bikini-Viking-Babes just dont work for me.

RachaelBriner

Quick color tests! From set "A" I am leaning towards 1 and 5. For set "B" I like 1 and 2.

Thoughts? Questions or concerns? I think I'm abandoning the composition of set B.

Feedback welcome and encouraged.

This sounds lazy, but I just completely agree with you about the color tests.

RachaelBriner

Working through, lots of work to be done. The strange blob towards the bottom is going to be an angry viking mob.

Looking good. I really like the idea behind this skin. One thing I think could use some work is Jinx's proportions. I think you need to stretch out her torso and legs a little more. Also here up thighs look too thick compared to her knees.

This almost has a similar perspective on the torso.
