DWIV - 2D - Fletchrrr
Hi there everyone, firstly I want to apologise for something - Jackwhat has been trying to get me to post on these forums for a long time, and I haven't until now... so, yea, sorry about that ^^; I have however lurked a little and i've seen the awesome work that you guys can pull off, so I hope that redeems me atleast a tiny amount, haha.
I wanted to enter last years DW but I never got around to it, so after much prodding and poking by Jackwhat I decided I'd try this year.
I've been playing around with alchemy (which is new to me >.>) and I've done a few thumbnails, some of which I really like, others not so much. I've decided to go for the Norms, and i'm playing around with the idea of either an Invoker or a Clericon. A and B were both male ideas and teh first couple of play arouns with alchemy, and C was a demon idea that just kinda popped out - but i've decided to focus on a female character.
Thanks in advance for any crits guys, and good luck to everyone! ^^

Is B short for Batman?
A, C and G stand out the most for me, D-F look more like variations on each other - You could go for even more over the top shit protruding out of the back if you fancied doing something down that route.

Something like that only less generic and more cool, especially if its a caster type, could end up looking more like a techy dreamcatcher than machine angel wings.
I was thinking of trying to combine ideas from D,G,H and I but yea, I see what you mean about the dreamcatcher thingie - sounds interesting. The ears on the helmet came about while I was playing with the idea of a stalker. Wanted to base it around an animal, I thought it looked kinda cool so I included it and tried to develop it a little with I.
I'll have a play, not 100% on this yet.
The latest sketch is looking cool, and I like the dreamcatcher theme. However I think the leg area could use some editing, the shape looks odd right now.
Good luck in the war!
Didn't do anywhere near enough thumbs for this but bleh, I liked the previous one enough to go straight to development with it. I want to take the idea of the dreamcatcher Jackwhat mentioned a little further and have been doing a little research into native american culture and charms/clothing etc and I'd like to mix this with my own designs. Obviously theres still a lot to do, any crits on my ideas are very welcome.
The final design will have much more 'stuff' going on, hopefully making it less symmetrical and more interesting in the process.
I've decided on Clericon btw ^^;
