Description
The absolute nightmare went through on this piece, plus photoshop was a whore and kept crashing in mid-saves. Its amazing that I actually had the will to do it over and over after so many crashes, and me sobbing.Still a few "that could be done better' parts but all and all- Turned out pretty nice.
Again from The Elements
From Left to right:
Cerridwen (Fire), Kat (Light), Silver (Thunder), Nola (Water), Eagle (top) (Wind), Amber (Earth), Lilith (Dark) and Tira (Power)
Got a HUGE back-drop banner of this for OCC- Will be sitting behind me on a huge stand hopefully to draw some people to the table!
Also will be sold as 11x17 poster like the rest.
Picking up badges and setting up the tables tomorrow!

lol at Silver and I so don't understand Amber's hair
Do the character change their outfits and hair styles throughout the story, or is this their final Demon hunting style?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Amber has a lot of hair. She is a true celtic goddess: Airmid his real name as the same goddess of celtic lore and Cerunnos her god she share her power with (her Earth Dragon that looks like a massive Satre with insane antlers and dragonesque facial features) In Celtic lore she is the goddess of Growth ( hence the height, big boobs and freakishly long hair) and healing.
Hair Ref from here: [link] Except there is another braid that wraps around the back of of her head which makes it like like a flower. And her hair changes a lot, I have thumbnails galore of different hairstyles for her- I'll draw them all out eventually.
Characters will change their clothes and hair styles frequently. They don't have one costume, they will wear normal clothing (modern day with their characteristic flare) When Hector, my mentor was alive we stripped down the characters to bare bones- background stories, characteristics, and fashion styles, weapons ect. Now that I've gotten much more detailed in concepts I went back to the list we worked on and gave them a go. Some outfits are still in progress for first issue- as only the bare bones (thumbnailing and scripting) have been done
I'm going to be putting character profiles for each them when EVERYTHING is solidified.

All elements are female- Silver is the exception. But not by much...

Why are they all female, though? I'm not trying to put down your art or creativity, but I'm just curious.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There is a reason for it- Its part of the plot of the story. In other words... spoilers. Plus I'm a big fan on the 'strong female' dynamic- it's my style. BUT that being said there are plenty of men in the story as well. Badass ones. One is the main character next to Cerridwen. These two: [link]

Okay, thank you for the clarification. I support 'strong female' characters too, I was just wondering. Thanks again!

Crazy-ass super-strength... and super-charged when consuming alcohol

That's not a common element. How come?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Neither is Thunder. Light and Dark are primordial elements, and Earth, Water, Wind and Fire are compositional elements from Light and Dark. Thunder and Power are channeled elements. Thunder is Energy(Exterior energy channels) and Power/ Strength ( Interior energy channels) All together the element's powers represent Order and Balance.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm guessing earth and water are from Dark?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not really. All the compositional elements are both essence of light and dark. Light and Dark represent the original forces made from Order and Chaos.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But why do the elements only represent order if they were originally made from chaos and order?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Order and Chaos were once separate entities- among being one the main plot points of the story. When they shattered, the elemental gods were born as the other pieces became the main villain of this story, who creates a demon legion to wipe humanity off the face of the earth- `The Order of Chaos`
Both the gods of Order/ Balance are trying to bring the equilibrium back, as is this Force of Chaos- Only in their own righteous beliefs.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hm, but wouldn't equilibrium mean a balance between order and chaos?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes and no- that's a dire plot point of the story that's too early to share.

I understand. Thanks for your patience!
