[Riot Art Contest] - Ashe-Forest skin

Haco · Nov 2014

Hey all! My name is Antti, and I'm going to paint Ashe.
Here's some references I picked up, and some very rough sketches. I guess my sketching is some of the ugliest you'll see

But since there's no one to get approval from, There's no point keeping them cool

Haco · Nov 2014

Some more steps...

Haco · Nov 2014

I have no idea how to attach the images, so they would show in the thread without clicking them

prabath · Nov 2014

Hey there, awesome work. You could for example post your image on your FB profile or deviantart and copy that image url here within the image tag. Hope this helps. Looking forward to more updates.

Cheers!!!

bloecher · Nov 2014

cool to see your steps, great work, will follow your process

Haco · Nov 2014

Thanks for the tip, Prabath!

Haco · Nov 2014

Thank you Bloecher! I'll update soon

True, but if I may add:
If you link huge pictures it's pretty unpracticable for visitors, because it might take quite a while for them to load.

Some changes, biggest of them being the front hawk, whose perspective I'm finally happy with. I sketched so many birds trying to study them, since I didn't find any reference with the right pose.
Cleaned the image up also, trying to keep it smooth.

wow looking awesome so far!

bloecher · Nov 2014

jea, nice! though i miss some of the blue magic stuff

Haco · Nov 2014

Thanks bloecher. I'm gonna add some of the blue stuff back in the next update:) This WIP image was taken right after I got the new bird done.

Way too much blue magic fx if you ask me.
Try making it more transparent and fade out more clearly.
Post#9 had a nice effect on the back bird, I'd prefer if you'd go more in that direction.

littlet · Nov 2014

i really loved where you were going with post #9 - her hair, face, and cape were so beautiful. i wonder if you even need the second smaller hawk? if you repositioned the first one?

Haco · Nov 2014

Thank you for crits Silvarspark and littlet! I was playing with the blue stuff a bit too much, I fear

I wanted it to be a more solid element to the painting. But I think I'll go for a more subtle look, as you suggested. I'm not sure if I'll keep the pattern on the cape. Didn't really like it myself. I too liked the hair on No.9, and perhaps I'll go back to it. Thanks guys So much!

hm, i think i liked the warmer skin more before, fitting with the other colors. also the shoulder armor. you went more cold elfish now

also will you add the ornaments on the cloke later again?

Haco · Dec 2014

Thanks bloecher

Yeah I kinda changed the skin tone to be more pale and northern. Maybe I'll warm it up a bit

I'll add ornaments, but more subtle. I'm experimenting quite a bit with the piece

Is the elvis-look a bad thing?

bloecher · Dec 2014

ah, it's not bad, definitely adds more contrast. no matter what, you have a great sense for colors and composition, will be awesome in the end i think. your first scetches are already better than what i will have in the end

do you have a portfolio/ website somewhere?

Haco · Dec 2014

Thanks man. I'll do my best

My Deviantart account goes by the name Haco1.

bloecher · Dec 2014

ok, cool! and just saw your feedback, thanks! btw, do you have an update? ;D
