[RIOT CREATIVE CONTEST 2017] Character Art - Pastel Goth Ahri
polycounter lvl 8
I initially couldn't decide between Headhunter Caitlyn and Arcade Miss Fortune and I might still choose one of those afterall but I really want to use pastel colours. So for now, I'm trying my hand at using a pastel goth theme for inspiration and Ahri is kind of perfect already for that aesthetic with her short skirt and cute ears and tail.
Just roughly painted over the classic Ahri skin to get an impression of how it might look so 'scuse the dodgy brushstrokes. I like the colour palette but some aspects might not work in 3D i.e. I would like lace here and there but that might not work, also I need to simplify the type of patterns I use and make them more clearly readable. I want to include extra necklaces, bracelets and maybe a bat backpack or a cute fluffy one with wings but I'll probably flesh it out in 3D tbh as I'm clearly not a 2D artist and don't want to get stuck figuring things out there. I should probably add something to that bare arm too.

Looking forward to seeing more.
Can't wait to see what you do with it
I think the hands are too small, and ofc the hair could have some more volume like on your concept.
The glasses are for me a big part of the feeling in the concept, so I'm looking forward to seeing them on the sculpt as well.
Don't forget to see your model from 3/4 top view and see if it reads like Ahri, and see what you can modify/add to make it read like her.
The tails will obviously add a lot too!
Keep it up!
@TheIceWolves Thanks for reminding me!I missed her whisker marks in the concept too it seems, it was not a concious decision to do that
@GravityBwlast I've started working on the hands/arms tonight - still a long ways to go - I've elongated her forearms and hands to match my concept a bit more and likewise with her legs a little. Quickly blocked in her specs and checked her in the top down view with a placeholder for her tail (that will be modelled directly behind her so I can rig it later). I think it does read as Ahri but what do you think?
Good work so far
I love the colour combination and how crisp everything looks.
I might have missed it, how did you approach the texturing for this?
