[Riot Art Contest] - Sona Guqin

Saphirya

Hi everyone !I'am Saphirya, I'm from France ! I decided to redraw Sona Guqin'splash
Feedback and suggestions are welcome !

Here my inspiration comes from :






I made some modification to her actual design :


the gujin is the same on this to pictures, just different view. I'm hesitating on puting a collar or just put a necklace on her :shifty:

here a sketch of the splash :



I know that my current style is not realistic enough, but I'll do my best !

Saphirya

i changed the view a little bit :

images of a temple as references

Saphirya

colors idea

VeKKat

Wonderful, I love the idea Can't wait to see next

Saphirya

thank you very much !

I was wondering on which colos do i have to color her "waves" ? blue? green ? purple ?
i tried purple here

VeKKat

Hum, I don't know, maybe you can test with green, it will contrast with the red of her dress

Although the instrument is really artistic, especially with the lotus flower, I think you need a koto/guzheng reference so you can give it more substance, a little more of realistic feelings.
Anyway, I like more your work than the original skin
PD: Try to look into complementary colors. As said by VeKKat, green works
