Virgo Concept

It's for a Zodiac Concept Art competition. One of my friends decided to go for Gemini, another for Pisces, another for Aries, and I decided to go for Virgo.

Aaaaaand naturally, we did the concept design process for them, following the guild-lines from the contest; it was a basic version of saying that it needs to represent the sign and the concept that we are doing has to be either character or creature, that the symbolism has to be there, the character represents the sign itself...

The sketches were a bit difficult, seeing as how I wanted to show the Virgo character as a leader who is an introvert, calm, analytic, and cool-headed while trying to present the maiden image.

The next being that I began rendering the character who I thought represented the Virgo most. It took a lot of critiques to make everything look right; and I had to change the dress a couple of times.

And finally came to the colors.

Virgo is an earth sign. And while the earth colors are associated with yellows, browns, and greens, Virgo's colors are associated with blues, yellows, and whites (don't know why; this is astrology). These were the first sets of colors:

...and then here was the final version. Aside bumping up the contrast with the shading and lighting, I also changed her dress color to green. Here is the final version:

I am actually proud of this one. Whew!

Hi!

...I haven't uploaded in a while. XD Oops...

I was really busy with a lot of things that happened with me and other stuff. including new school and finances. Not to mention getting prepared to a lot more all-nighters too.

And it snowed in Atlanta for a week. I've been living in Georgia long enough to know the reaction of whenever we have ice or snow. Now my younger sister's been telling me that they have to make up two school days by taking off the teacher's work days while we have the classes on Fridays and Saturdays. SCAD normally has four days of school, so I can see why. I guess it also proves that we have to work harder and faster to get assignments done.

Hence why I'm posting up my stuff and images as of now.

Recently, I have been in Concept Illustration so far, sooooo... here's the stuff I've done so far.

The first project involves making two warriors (can be anything from a lawyer to a warrior) as long as they are original and are opposites of each other. Needless to say, I did these two buggers and while I enjoyed how their colors turned out, the second guy... ...needed more work.

While I'm working on project two (making two vehicles: one technological and one biotech/beast of burden), I first thought doing a motorcycle.

...that didn't turn out too well.

And hence, I'm doing a caravan. Images are all on the bottom because I can't find a way to post my images and text in a certain way. Here's what I have so far...

I'll be posting stuff from what I have done the past quarter later on this month. Just have to polish all of them.
