Design a Deity - Akamushi
Posted By Scott Hallett at 8/12/2009 7:38 AM
This is a character design I did for the
"Design A Deity" blog. The idea is to throw a bunch of deities at each other, and see who would be left standing. Mine is named Akamushi, which means blood worm in Japanese. Here's my description:
"My Deity Akamushi is the best because for decades, he's been enslaving a vast army under the guise of the two-tailed mermaid. Soon, he will wash a flood across the lands; a tidal wave of those coffee-conquered souls, all willing to destroy anything in their path, all in his name."
There's some great talents with more deities on the way, so check it out!

Here are some of the things I've been working on.
Character designs for a short story:

And a very quick color test for that same short story:

Star Belly

This week at
Drawer Geeks the theme was "Star Belly" with an open interpretation. This is what I came up with. I tried to use this as an opportunity to try out new things and new methods (such as using a brush pen, spot blacks and speeding up rendering). All in all I was pretty pleased with the results. Let me know what you think!

Design a Sith Lord

This week at
Drawer Geeks, the theme was design your own Sith Lord. I'm not a big Star Wars fan myself (I'm of the widely accepted opinion that the last three movies totally stunk), but I did know Darth Vader was fashioned after Samurai armor. So I sort of ran with that and went for another age, sort of an Arthurian era meets Akira type vibe. I was actually pretty pleased with the way this one turned out.

Another character sketch. I'm toying with the idea of entering a submission for a fantasy comic anthology, so I'm trying to get my head in that mindset. Comments and criticisms welcome!

This one's been a bit of an uphill battle. I really wanted to push myself and try to learn new techniques and new ways of doing things. I tried a combination of different tricks and hopefully the end results pay off.
I've included the original digital line work, as well as a more traditional colour scheme (minus the fancy multiply layers and extra bells and whistles), and finally the finished product. As always, feel free to leave any comments.
