Description Concept design of my character Mal. For now, I won’t be releasing any other information other than that I’m hoping to use her for a small future project, possibly for my game design class too (we’re making 3D models right now).

Oh, also, she's a computer virus.
The name 'Malwara' is based off the formal name of a computer virus: Malware.

I'm going to be working on this again tomorrow. I just want to add a bit more to the background, but I'm way too tired and my Adobe's frozen up. Good night.


Critique Me?
-Design (unique + uncluttered?)
- Body proportion (not counting the neck)
- Metal Texturing
- Use of brushes
- Presentation (blank background + text layout)

Oh, there's not much to talk about it. I just use a ton of layers, different shades of gray and different opacities.
Thanks!

I like his vertebrae. Also their hands-knives, and the fact that not seeing your eyes!

I like her future-listic (sorry for my poor grammer) design ^^

I can see the effort you have put into this, it has really paid off

Well done

Nice detail! I think the simplistic background is great for this kind of thing; it brings the focus to the character and the text next to her.
Your metal texture is pretty good as well, though I've never tried something like that before (so, I can't really judge..).
Overall, very interesting and intricate. Kinda reminds me of something either from Metroid Prime or Portal..

Hey, thanks for the great feedback! It's really helpful to get some of these specific pointers answered. And it's alright if its only for a couple of my questions.

I've never really seen that much of Metroid, but Portal's enemies are a ton cuter than Mal. Those turrets... man, they can be killing you and they're still cute. 0____0

I did run out of patience. Especially on the tail. WAY too much work, might change it up a bit. It's not a final design.

Thanks!
