"Mia" WIP

So, it's been a while since I last posted and this blog has pretty much just been dead for the last few months. Luckily since I have built up a little bit of an archive of screencaps, I can make a few WIP/Process posts! :D Wee!

I've been quite busy in the last few weeks getting everything ready for a university application. My portfolio needed some new, fresher stuff so I embarked on a mission to try new things.

Here is a badass character I painted last week named "Mia". She uses only blades and blunt objects as weapons - and she hates guns (Her bullet belt is just an accessory, but also reminds her why she hates guns so much due to a possible experience from the past. Not too sure about her history yet). Her weapons include two sets of simple smooth "daggerchucks", which are pretty much as the name implies: an extended form of nunchucks with a dagger on one end and a normal handle on the other. This allows her to do long-ranged attacks and sling the blades around. As a result she's really nimble, athletic, and physically very strong.

Once my application is complete and all the panic is out of the way, I might do a proper character sheet for her. I've taken quite a liking to her. :) Here are a few screencaps of the WIP:






Hated that background...


Still hated that background...

I wasn't sure what to do with the background for a really long time, but I'm glad I decided to go with something simple in the end.

That's it! Laters folks!
