Original post:
I burned through most of my freelance work last week and now have some spare time to finally join this contest!
My goal is to improve my rendering and overall illustration abilitys, seeing as characters are still my absolute weak point.

I decided to design a spalsh of Zoe.
Here are the first couple of ideas I had.
There were also done without reference, so non of them look liek zoe at all.



1. Couldhead: Cloudhair and Pyjama gear
2. Sakura: Playful highshool girl. If I go with this one I definitely need to find a more fitting pose
3. Wated to try Ying/Yang hair but threw that out the window.
4. Chinese New year Skin + Fireworks in background. Also not happy with the pose.
5. Alice in wonderland skin.
6. First interation of the Alice idea.
7+8 already thrown out.

    Explored the alice and the fairy idea a bit further and started sketching a skin design.
    Also I practiced figure drawing like crazy...
    poses are still not a good as they should be, but that's probably the best I can do for now :/
    Also I gatherd a lot of zoe references to get the proportions and face right-ish

    Alright! I managed to figure out the alice skin and color it as well.
    My favourite is 1 so far.

    Renderd the red-haird Alice more and figured out how the bow in the back works.

    Started with comps.
    Idea 1: The first idea I had was having zoe hang from a tree and interact with the cheshire cat named timo.
    This one might be a bit too chaotic. Will have to tidy up the tree if I move on with this.


    Idea 2: Baron-ish looking caterpillar and zoe sitting on a mushroom.


    I gave up on the third idea because I'm not skilled enough to pull of the poses and angles I would want for this :/. And the one that I could do (see below) feels so much weaker that the other two above.
    Posting it anyway to show the paddleball mirror + stone idea haha.

    Rendering yay

    Alright I'm calling it done. There are still so many things I don't like and I absolutely hate the face. Will probably try and get some feedback from people that know what they are doing and re-render this :)
    Also last minute butterflys were maybe not a good idea :D
