Finished up the Splash Art I did for our monthly #ilatidtiys community challenge! Huge thank you to DeviantArt for sponsoring the opportunity to run challenges like these!

I had a ton of fun with this one! I wanted to give her an opponent to fight but try keep the focus on our main character. Ilati's home is in the trees/forest and I wanted this image to have a "Not in my house!" sort of vibe. Ilati is driven by vengeance and fiercely loyal to her tribe and will stop at nothing to defend them. Travelers through the forest beware!

I've really been trying to push the drama/perspective/foreshortening in my work lately and this was an excellent excuse to really try to lean into that as much as I could. I've been trying to soak up inspiration from a lot of the League of Legends splash art which are always insanely dramatic and dynamic. One of the things I've noticed in studying a lot of them is it's more about creating an awesome composition and less about highlighting or featuring a character's clothing or design. I tend to always pick poses that are more safe and neutral because I don't want to cover up too much of their cool armor/clothes. It's a tricky balance fore sure! I think a big part of it is asking yourself what the purpose of the image is. If the image is to showcase a character's design for concept purposes, something more neutral is appropriate. But if the purpose is to create a cool and dramatic composition, you can go all out!

We still have 3 days for those that would like to enter the challenge! Details here: bit.ly/DA_ilatidtiys

I do most of my art live on twitch. You should come hang out sometime! www.twitch.tv/stumpyfongo
