[Riot Creative Contest 2017] Zoe Splash Art ~In Spaaaace~ (WIP)

InkRose

Doing my own interpretation of Zoe She's going to be jumping with her star rope while leaping between two portals!


Will update with more progress soon! Critique welcome!
(There is going to be a star butterfly on her finger in the final)

Finished progress for today.
I'm liking how it's turning out! I'm using a different brush and technique than I'm used to.
The background will be a spacey-starry-place. The top left and bottom right corners of the canvas will have the portals that she's leaping between.
See ya tomorrow!

Today's progress! Need to start blocking in the rest of the hair.

Today's progress.  Feel like I could be rendering the hair better. Any tips?

I like the constellation that you have as her jump rope. Very fun idea! I suggest trying to paint the hair a bit darker, and to be more selective with where it is highlighted. Since her right hand and the bright rope are farther away from her hair there, you can make that area less bright. It also helps to think of the hair as a solid 3D object (a curved cylinder would probably work here).

Keep up the good work! I hope this was a little help for you.

Thanks for the advice! I'll keep that in mind!
